Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Gates TCKWP249 PowerGrip Premium Kit with Water Pump for Timing Belt Components by Abaraham Duvernot

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works as advertised. on 01 Xterra

Bought the kit on May 5th, installed it on my 2001 Xterra which I just picked up and appears to be with the original belt. The set was of good quality and fit exactly as expected. When installing, make sure all bolts are tight and belt tension is correct. Since I don't seem to have blown mine yet, I think I did the right thing. Be sure to take some RTV to seal the water pump and take a harmonic balancer puller to properly remove the crankshaft pulley. Also, the included instructions are for the VG30 engine, but this kit will fit the VG33E engine.

Pros
  • Good product for its price
Cons
  • Repair
