Gates 97-00 Infiniti QX4 / 96-00 Nissan Pathfinder Timing Belt Component Kit w/ Water Pump

The timing belt in your 1999-2004 Nissan Frontier, 1997-2000 Infiniti QX4, 1996-2000 Nissan Pathfinder, or 2000-2004 Nissan Xterra is a critical engine component. This kit from Gates addresses the entire timing system, ensuring your engine's valves and pistons stay in sync. It includes the timing belt itself, tensioners, idler pulleys, and a new water pump, which is often driven by the timing belt and should always be replaced at the same time to avoid future complications.

Gates uses well-built materials in this kit, including a reinforced timing belt designed to handle the stresses of engine operation. The tensioners and idler pulleys are built to maintain proper belt tension and alignment, which is crucial for preventing premature belt wear and ensuring accurate engine timing. Replacing these components together means you're addressing potential failure points all at once, saving you labor down the road. The included water pump is a direct replacement for the original, featuring a robust seal and bearing assembly to keep coolant circulating effectively.

When you're tackling a timing belt job, it's always best practice to replace all the related components at once. This kit bundles everything you need, saving you the hassle of sourcing individual parts and ensuring compatibility between them. This comprehensive approach helps prevent issues like belt slippage or premature failure of other worn parts.
