What is the primary function of a timing belt?

The timing belt synchronizes the rotation of the crankshaft and camshaft(s). This ensures the engine's valves open and close at the correct times relative to the piston's position, which is critical for proper engine operation.

What other parts should I consider replacing when installing a new timing belt?

It's highly recommended to replace the timing belt tensioner and idler pulleys at the same time. These components work with the belt to maintain proper tension and alignment, and their failure can also lead to engine damage.

What is EPDM rubber and why is it used in this timing belt?

EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubber is a synthetic rubber known for its excellent resistance to heat, ozone, and weathering. Using it in this timing belt helps ensure durability and longevity, especially in the demanding environment of an engine bay.

Product Details

This GReddy timing belt is made with a reinforced EPDM rubber compound, a material known for its excellent resistance to heat and oil. For Subaru EJ20 engines, keeping the timing belt in good shape is crucial for preventing serious engine damage. A worn or damaged timing belt can cause valves and pistons to collide, leading to costly repairs. This belt is designed to handle the demands of your engine, ensuring your camshafts and crankshaft stay synchronized.

GReddy has built this belt with a high-strength tensile cord to maintain proper tension and prevent stretching, even under high RPMs. This means more consistent valve timing and better overall engine performance. It's a well-built component that aims to provide dependable service for your Subaru's engine. When you're replacing your timing belt, it's often a good idea to also consider replacing the tensioner and idler pulleys, as these components work together to keep the belt running smoothly.

This timing belt fits a range of Subaru models, including the Impreza from 2002 to 2013, the Baja from 2004 to 2006, and the Forester in 2008. It's also compatible with the Saab 9-2X from 2005 to 2006 and the Legacy from 2010 to 2012. Ensuring your timing belt is in good condition is a key part of maintaining your engine's health and longevity.
