Gates 94-97 Celica 1.8L Racing Performance Timing Belt

This Gates T235RB timing belt is made with a high-strength, heat-resistant rubber compound, designed to handle the demands of the 1.8L engine found in your 1993-1997 Geo Prizm, 1994-1997 Toyota Celica, and 1993-1997 Toyota Corolla. A timing belt is crucial for keeping your engine's valves and pistons synchronized, and this belt offers an improved option over stock for those looking for a more robust component.

The advanced rubber formulation in this belt helps resist degradation from heat and oil, which are common culprits for premature belt failure. This means you can expect more consistent performance and a longer service life, especially if your vehicle sees frequent use or is driven in demanding conditions. The precise tooth profiling ensures proper engagement with the pulleys, preventing slippage and maintaining accurate engine timing. This is a well-built replacement that aims to keep your engine running smoothly and reliably.

When replacing your timing belt, it's often recommended to also inspect or replace other related components like the tensioner and idler pulleys, as well as the water pump if it's driven by the timing belt. Always refer to your vehicle's service manual for the correct replacement procedure and any additional parts that should be serviced at the same time.
