Gates 93-01 Honda Prelude Timing Belt Component Kit w/ Water Pump

The Gates TCKWP226A kit is built around a timing belt made with EPDM rubber, a material known for its resistance to heat and oil degradation. This is important because the timing belt is critical for keeping your 1993-2001 Honda Prelude's engine valves synchronized with the pistons. If it stretches, skips, or breaks, you can face serious engine damage.

This kit takes the guesswork out of a major engine service. You get the timing belt itself, plus the tensioner and idler pulleys that guide the belt and keep the correct tension. A worn tensioner or idler can cause premature belt failure, so replacing them at the same time is smart maintenance. It also includes a new water pump, which is driven by the timing belt on this Prelude. Since the water pump is in the same area and often needs replacement around the same mileage, getting it in this kit saves you time and ensures you're not leaving a potential failure point in your engine.

Replacing these components is a significant job, but having everything you need in one box from a well-known brand like Gates makes it more straightforward. This kit is designed to fit your specific Prelude, so you can be confident in the parts you're installing.
