Gates 97-99 Acura CL / 94-02 Honda Accord Racing Performance Timing Belt

This is the Gates Racing Performance Timing Belt for your 1994-2002 Honda Accord, 1997-1999 Acura CL, 1998 Honda Odyssey, or 1998-1999 Isuzu Oasis. A timing belt is a critical component that synchronizes the rotation of your engine's crankshaft and camshaft(s), ensuring the valves open and close at the correct times relative to the pistons. If this belt fails, it can cause serious internal engine damage.

Gates designed this racing performance timing belt with a reinforced construction for improved durability over stock belts, especially in higher-performance applications or under demanding conditions. It features a high-strength tensile cord and a specially formulated rubber compound that resists wear and heat buildup. This means you get a more reliable timing system that can handle the stresses of spirited driving or modified engines. It's a well-built part that aims to keep your engine running smoothly and prevent catastrophic failure.

When replacing your timing belt, it's often a good idea to also replace the tensioner and idler pulleys, as these components work together. Check your vehicle's service manual for the recommended replacement interval and any other related parts you might need.
