Gates Racing High Performance Timing Belts are incredibly strong, extremely heat resistant. Tough enough to take the worst pummeling your engine can dish out. No other belts help protect your engine and deliver high performance like Gates Racing High Performance Timing Belts.

Yes, the color gives you a hot custom look. But look deeper. Constructed of HNBR elastomeric composites, Gates Racing High Performance Timing Belts are 300% stronger than stock belts and deliver up to three times the heat resistance. You can count on them to hold up to the rigors of high horsepower, even with interference engines.

Gates Racing Timing Belt Features:

(1) Wear Resistant Teeth. High saturation HNBR elastomeric composites contribute to the exceptional durability and heat resistance with aramid reinforcement.

(2) Robust Reinforced Tooth Jacket. Durable nylon fiber provides extra wear resistance, doubling tooth strength.

(3) Super Strong Tensile Cord. Added strength comes from premium, high-strength glass cords. An engine timing belt synchronizes the rotation of the crankshaft and the camshafts for proper valve timing. Proper timing prevents the engine’s pistons from striking the valves, as well as correct intake and exhaust timing during combustion. The timing belt is toothed on the inside to connect with the engine’s camshaft pulleys, rollers and tensioners. Timing belts must be replaced after a recommended amount of distance, as they stretch and fatigue with use. Failure to replace the timing belt at manual recommended intervals (generally around 60,000 miles) can result in catastrophic engine failure. eEuroparts.com is your source for genuine and aftermarket timing belts should you need to purchase a replacement.
