Gates 90-94 Hyundai Excel 4-Cyl. 1.5L Cam. Belt Automotive Timing Belt

This is a Gates timing belt, part number T128, designed for a range of compact cars including the 1990-1994 Hyundai Excel, 1987-1991 Dodge Colt, and 1987-1990 Mitsubishi Mirage. 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 piston position. If this belt breaks or slips, it can cause significant 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 from durable materials designed to withstand the heat and stress of engine operation over its service life. Replacing your timing belt at the recommended interval, typically around every 60,000 to 100,000 miles depending on the vehicle, is important preventative maintenance to avoid a catastrophic engine failure.

When you replace your timing belt, it's often a good idea to also replace the tensioner and any idler pulleys that may be part of the system, as these components wear out too. Always refer to your vehicle's specific service manual for the correct replacement procedure and recommended service intervals.
