Overview

A timing belt from the Gates RPM line, this listing carries a part number and a series name and little else. The only measurement given is for the shipping package, not the belt.

Gates labels the series as high performance, and that is the whole case the listing makes. No engine list, tooth count, width or length is given, so the buyer must bring the application and check it independently.

Who it's for

A mechanic holding the old belt, or the part number from a parts catalog, can match it here. Buyers working from a vehicle alone get no help from this listing and should look for one that names the engine.

A timing belt's life depends on its construction and on correct tension at install. The listing gives neither the construction nor any tooth profile, so real-world behavior cannot be described.
