What is the function of a timing belt?

A timing belt synchronizes the rotation of the crankshaft and camshaft(s). This ensures that the engine's valves open and close at the correct times relative to the piston's position, which is essential for proper engine operation and preventing internal damage.

When should I replace my timing belt?

It's recommended to replace your timing belt according to the vehicle manufacturer's maintenance schedule, typically based on mileage or time intervals. If you notice any signs of wear, such as cracking or fraying, it should be replaced immediately.

Does this timing belt come with installation hardware?

This timing belt is sold individually. It is recommended to refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for a complete list of any additional hardware or components, such as tensioners or idler pulleys, that may be needed for proper installation.

Product Details

This is the left-side camshaft timing belt from Gates, designed for a range of Subaru models from 1985 through 1994, including the DL, GL, and Loyale. This belt is crucial for keeping your engine's camshafts synchronized with the crankshaft, ensuring that your valves open and close at precisely the right moments during the combustion cycle. Without a properly functioning timing belt, your engine won't run correctly, and severe internal damage can occur.

Gates is a well-known name in belts, and this timing belt is built to meet the original equipment specifications for your Subaru. It's made with materials that resist heat and wear, which is important because the timing belt operates continuously while the engine is running. Proper installation is key to its longevity and performance, so make sure to follow the manufacturer's recommended procedures when replacing it.

When you're doing a timing belt job, it's often a good idea to replace other related components at the same time, such as the water pump and tensioner, as they are usually located behind the timing belt covers and are easily accessible during the job. This can save you labor down the road.
