Product Description

The Gates TCK328N is a timing-belt component kit engineered for many Subaru H4-engine vehicles (Impreza, Forester, Baja, Outback, Legacy) and 2005 Saab 9-2X (where applicable), covering model years approximately 2003 through 2014 - depending on engine variant and drivetrain configuration. This all-in-one kit provides the timing belt, tensioner, idlers, sprocket, and tools needed for a full timing-belt replacement, streamlining maintenance and ensuring component compatibility.

With a robust 281-tooth HSN-compound belt reinforced with fiberglass and designed with a Modified Curvilinear tooth profile, TCK328N offers precise timing engagement and durable performance over long service intervals. The included hydraulic tensioner and multiple idler pulleys ensure stable belt tension and correct routing under varying engine loads - important especially for interference-type engines. Because this kit focuses solely on the timing belt system (water pump not included), it's ideal when coolant-system components are in good condition or being serviced separately.

This kit is well suited for owners or mechanics performing routine timing-belt maintenance or complete timing-system overhauls on compatible Subaru or Saab H4 engines. Before ordering or installation, always verify your vehicle's exact engine code, production year, and drivetrain to confirm fitment. When installed correctly - aligning timing marks and using proper torque specifications - the Gates TCK328N delivers reliable, OEM-quality performance and long-term engine timing integrity.
