Product Description

The Gates T167RB High-Performance Timing Belt is built to handle the demands of interference-type 4-cyl engines found in a range of late-'80s through early-2000s compact and sporty cars. With a reinforced HNBR compound and fiberglass tensile cords, this belt resists heat, fluid exposure, and stretching - offering improved durability and reliability over standard belts. Its reinforced teeth and robust construction make it especially suitable for high-rev driving, restored engines, or performance-tuned applications.

With OEM-matching specifications - including 153 teeth, 1457 mm length, 29 mm width, and modified curvilinear tooth profile - the T167RB is designed to fit directly into timing systems on many 4-cyl engines from manufacturers such as Mitsubishi, Hyundai and Eagle (for models such as Eclipse, Galant, Lancer, Talon, Sonata, Elantra, Laser, and related). It offers a durable replacement option for maintenance, rebuilds, or performance upgrades.

Before purchasing or installation, ensure your vehicle's engine code, production year, and original timing-belt part number match one of the compatible applications listed above. Proper verification prevents fitment issues and ensures correct belt operation.
