Gates 98-02 Honda Accord 4-Cyl. 2.3L Balance Shaft Belt Automotive Timing Belt

This Gates T186 balance shaft timing belt is specifically made for the 4-cylinder, 2.3L engine found in your 1990-2002 Honda Accord. The balance shaft belt works in conjunction with the main timing belt to cancel out engine vibrations, leading to a smoother running engine. If this belt is worn or broken, you'll likely notice increased engine noise and vibration, and in severe cases, it can lead to more significant engine damage.

Gates is a well-known name in belts, and this T186 is built to meet the original equipment manufacturer's specifications. It's constructed with materials designed for durability and consistent performance under the heat and stress of the engine bay. Replacing this belt is often done at the same time as the main timing belt, as they are both critical components for engine timing and smoothness. Make sure to check your vehicle's service manual for the recommended replacement interval.
