What is included in this timing belt kit?

This Gates timing belt component kit includes the timing belt and the timing belt tensioner. These are the key parts needed for a standard timing belt replacement on compatible vehicles.

Why is it important to replace the timing belt tensioner with the belt?

The tensioner keeps the correct pressure on the timing belt, preventing it from slipping or wearing out too quickly. Since the tensioner is a wear item, replacing it at the same time as the belt ensures optimal performance and longevity for the new belt.

Should I replace the water pump when I replace the timing belt?

It is often recommended to replace the water pump at the same time as the timing belt. The water pump is typically located behind the timing belt cover, and replacing it during the timing belt service can save you labor costs down the road if it fails later.

Product Details

For your 1985-1991 Toyota Corolla with the 4A-GE engine, this Gates timing belt component kit is a solid choice for replacing your worn-out timing belt and tensioner. Keeping your timing belt in good shape is crucial because it synchronizes your engine's crankshaft and camshaft, ensuring your valves open and close at the right time. If this belt breaks or slips, it can cause serious engine damage.

This kit comes with the essential parts you need for a complete timing belt service: the belt itself and the tensioner. Gates is a well-known name in belts, and this kit is made to meet the original specifications for your Corolla. The tensioner is important because it keeps the right amount of pressure on the belt, preventing it from skipping teeth or wearing out prematurely. Replacing both at the same time is a smart move, as the tensioner often doesn't last as long as the belt and can fail shortly after a new belt is installed.

When you're doing this job, it's a good idea to check the condition of your water pump as well, since it's often located behind the timing belt cover and driven by the timing belt. Replacing it at the same time can save you from having to tear everything down again later.
