Review on Gates TCKWP284A Timing Component Water by Marc Hawkins

Revainrating 5 out of 5

OEM quality timing belt kits

Just installed today. Don't forget to order the drive belts as they will need to be removed and will likely need to be replaced at intervals between the timing belts if you have not done so recently. The factory parts are made by Gates and look identical to the aftermarket parts except for the notch on the water pump that other reviewers have mentioned. The instructions say to remove the valve cover and place the wrench on the camshaft, but this is not necessary unless the belt has slipped and snapped. The YouTube video shows how to attach the zip ties to your belt/camera while putting everything back together. Not necessarily, but a good precaution.

Pros
  • Best in niche
Cons
  • Some complications
