Gates 03-06 Evo / 95-98 Eclipse Turbo / 90-94 Eclipse / 89-92 Galant DOHC / 90-94 Laser / 90-94 Talo

This Gates T167RB timing belt is constructed with a heat-resistant EPDM rubber compound, which is crucial for maintaining its integrity under the high temperatures found in an engine compartment. It's designed to keep your engine's critical timing components synchronized, ensuring the valves open and close at precisely the right moments relative to the pistons. This is vital for smooth engine operation and preventing catastrophic internal damage that can occur if the timing is off.

This belt fits a range of popular DOHC engines, including models like the Mitsubishi Eclipse (1990-1999), Hyundai Sonata (1992-1998), and Eagle Talon (1990-1998). Gates uses advanced tooth profiles to ensure positive engagement with the camshaft and crankshaft pulleys, which helps prevent slippage and maintains accurate timing over the life of the belt. This well-built belt is a direct replacement for your original equipment, making installation straightforward for a mechanic.

When replacing your timing belt, it's often a good idea to also inspect and consider replacing the tensioner and idler pulleys, as these components work together to keep the belt properly tensioned and aligned. Doing this at the same time can save you labor down the road.
