Product Description

The Gates T167 PowerGrip Premium OE Timing Belt is an essential, high-quality replacement component for keeping your engine's critical timing system synchronized. This belt precisely links the rotation of the camshafts and the crankshaft, which is vital for proper valve and piston operation. Since most applications for the T167 involve interference engines (where pistons and valves occupy the same space), a failed timing belt can lead to catastrophic and costly engine damage. Replacing the timing belt at the manufacturer's recommended interval is non-negotiable scheduled maintenance.

Engineered and manufactured by Gates, a world leader in automotive belting, the T167 meets or exceeds OE performance standards. It features high-grade HNBR rubber for exceptional defense against the heat and contaminants found under the hood, along with a PTFE-infused jacket and premium fiberglass tension members to resist stretching and wear. This belt is the perfect choice for stock or low-boost rebuilds of iconic platforms like the Mitsubishi 4G63 (Lancer Evo, Eclipse, Galant) and the related 2.0L DOHC engines found in the Eagle Talon and early Hyundai models, ensuring thousands of miles of dependable service.
