Product Description

The Gates T186RB High-Performance Timing Belt is a premium replacement belt designed for various Honda and Acura 4-cyl engines (including 2.2 L and 2.3 L variants) built between 1990 and 2002. Its HNBR rubber compound offers superior resistance to heat and engine fluids, while fiberglass tensile cords ensure strong belt integrity even under severe engine stress or elevated RPM. This makes the belt an excellent option for interference-engine applications, where precise cam/crank timing and belt durability are critical.

With a 70-tooth profile, 667 mm length, 9.5 mm pitch, and 16 mm width - matching many OE belt specs - T186RB installs as a direct replacement on compatible engines such as those found on Honda Accord, Prelude, Acura CL, Honda Odyssey, and Isuzu Oasis from the early '90s through early 2000s. For drivers seeking increased reliability, high-stress durability, or performance-ready components, this belt offers a robust alternative to standard timing belts.

Before ordering or installation, confirm your vehicle's engine code, balance-shaft configuration, and original belt spec to ensure proper compatibility - especially on interference engines where incorrect belt fitment can lead to serious engine damage.
