Gates 86-87 Mazda B2000 Pickup 4-Cyl. 2.0L Cam. Belt Automotive Timing Belt

This is a Gates timing belt for your 1986-1987 Mazda 626 or B2000 pickup with the 2.0L 4-cylinder engine. The timing belt is a critical component that synchronizes the rotation of the crankshaft and camshaft(s), ensuring the engine's valves open and close at the correct times relative to the pistons. If this belt breaks or slips, it can cause serious internal engine damage.

Gates is a well-known name in belts, and this timing belt is built to meet or exceed original equipment specifications. It's made with materials designed to handle the heat and tension found in the engine's timing cover. Replacing your timing belt at the recommended interval, typically around 60,000 to 90,000 miles, is important preventative maintenance to avoid a catastrophic engine failure.

When you're replacing your timing belt, it's often a good idea to also replace the tensioner and any idler pulleys at the same time, as they can wear out and affect the new belt's performance. Always refer to your vehicle's service manual for the exact replacement procedure and recommended intervals.
