Gates 02-03 Lexus ES300 / 04-06 ES330/RX330 / 06-09 RX400h Timing Belt Component Kit

This Gates Timing Belt Component Kit, part number TCK257A, uses a belt constructed with heat-resistant EPDM rubber. This material choice is important because the timing belt is critical for keeping your engine's valves and pistons moving in sync. When it's time to replace your timing belt, it's often best to swap out the related components too, as they can wear out at similar rates and cause premature failure of the new belt if not addressed.

This kit is a well-built assembly designed to cover a range of vehicles, including models like the Lexus ES300, Toyota Camry, and Toyota Highlander. It typically includes the timing belt itself, tensioners, and idler pulleys – all the key parts needed to do the job right the first time. Replacing these parts together helps ensure your engine runs smoothly and prevents potential damage that can occur if the belt skips a tooth or breaks. Gates is a well-known name in belts and hoses, and this kit reflects their focus on providing reliable parts for your vehicle's essential systems.

When you're tackling a timing belt job, it's a good idea to have all the necessary components on hand. This kit aims to provide that peace of mind, giving you the main parts needed to restore proper timing function to your engine. Always refer to your vehicle's service manual for specific installation procedures and torque specifications.
