What is the main difference between this racing performance timing belt and a standard one?

This Gates racing performance timing belt uses a reinforced rubber construction and a heat-resistant fabric facing. These features help it withstand higher temperatures and stresses often found in performance-tuned engines, ensuring more consistent timing.

What happens if my timing belt breaks?

A broken timing belt can cause severe engine damage. The crankshaft and camshaft will no longer be synchronized, leading to valves potentially colliding with pistons. This can result in costly repairs.

Does this timing belt come with any installation hardware?

This product includes the timing belt itself. It's recommended to inspect and replace other related components like tensioners and idler pulleys during a timing belt job, as these are typically sold separately.

Product Details

Gates is well-known for making reliable engine components, and their timing belts are a popular choice for many vehicles. This T152RB Racing Performance Timing Belt is specifically designed for the 1987-1991 Porsche 944 with the 4-cylinder 2.5L engine, and also fits the 1992-1995 Porsche 968. A timing belt is a critical part of your engine, keeping the crankshaft and camshaft synchronized so the engine's valves open and close at the right times. If it breaks or slips, you can face serious engine damage.

This particular belt is built for performance applications. It uses a reinforced rubber construction with a heat-resistant fabric facing, which helps it stand up to the higher temperatures and stresses that can occur in a performance-tuned engine. The tooth profile is designed for a strong grip on the pulleys, ensuring accurate timing even under demanding conditions. While it's a performance part, it's still designed to fit right into the stock location, making installation straightforward for someone familiar with timing belt replacements.
