Gates 85-89 Subaru GL 4-Cyl. 1.8L Cam. Belt - Right Side Automotive Timing Belt

This is the right-side timing belt from Gates, designed for 1985 through 1994 Subaru models with a 1.8L 4-cylinder engine. It's a crucial part for keeping your engine's valves and pistons working in sync. Proper timing is essential for smooth operation and preventing serious engine damage, especially in interference engines where the valves and pistons can collide if timing is off.

Gates is a well-known name in belts, and this one is built to meet the original equipment specifications for your Subaru. It's made with materials that resist heat and contamination, which are common issues in the engine bay. Replacing your timing belt at the recommended intervals, typically around 60,000 to 90,000 miles or every 5-7 years, is key to avoiding a catastrophic engine failure. This belt is designed to fit right and perform reliably for its intended service life.

When you're doing this job, it's a good idea to inspect other components in the timing belt system, like the tensioner and idler pulleys, as they often wear out around the same time. If your Subaru is in the 1985-1994 range and has the 1.8L engine, this Gates timing belt is a solid option to keep your engine running right.
