Gates 87 Honda Civic 1.5L Timing Belt Component Kit w/ Water Pump

When you're tackling a timing belt job on your 1984-1987 Honda Civic, this Gates TCKWP161 kit gives you the essential parts to get the job done right. It bundles together the critical components needed to replace your timing belt system, including the belt itself, the tensioner pulley, and a new water pump. Replacing these parts together is a smart move because they all work in sync to keep your engine's timing precise, and the water pump is often driven by the timing belt, meaning you'll have to remove the belt anyway to get to it. Doing it all at once saves you labor down the road.

Gates is a well-known name in belts and cooling systems, and this kit is put together to make your timing belt replacement straightforward. The components are made to meet the original specifications for your Civic's 1.5L engine, ensuring they'll fit and function as intended. Having a new tensioner pulley is important because a worn one can lead to improper belt tension, which can cause premature belt wear or even skipped timing. And of course, a new water pump means you won't have to worry about leaks or overheating issues from an old, worn-out pump.

This kit is designed as a direct replacement for your stock components. It's a good idea to have a service manual handy for your specific Civic model to guide you through the installation process, as timing belt replacement requires careful attention to detail to ensure the engine's timing marks are correctly aligned.
