Product Description

The Gates T41208 Hydraulic Timing Belt Tensioner is engineered as a direct-fit replacement for worn or failing tensioners on select 3.0 L V6 engines used in Lexus SC300, Lexus GS300, Lexus IS300 and Toyota Supra. Its robust steel construction and OE-exact pulley dimensions ensure proper belt tension and alignment - critical for interference-type engines where incorrect timing or belt slack can cause severe engine damage. The hydraulic design automatically adjusts belt tension over time, providing consistent performance and reducing maintenance effort compared with manual tensioners.

With a pulley diameter of 62 mm, width 28 mm and an 8 mm mounting bore, this tensioner matches factory specifications for the listed engines - ensuring a clean bolt-on fit. The included mounting hardware simplifies installation, whether you're replacing a worn tensioner during a timing-belt service or just refreshing the tensioner for preventive maintenance. Gates T41208 is ideal for restoration, maintenance, or performance-oriented builds where reliability and OEM-spec durability are priorities.

Before ordering or installing, always verify your vehicle's VIN, engine code, and build year against the fitment list above. Although this part is listed for 1992-2005 3.0 L V6 Lexus and Toyota models, engine variations or production changes may affect actual compatibility.
