Review on πŸ”— Gates TCK307 Premium PowerGrip Timing Belt Component Kit by Billy Berry

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great price, quality parts.

This is the third set of Gates timing belts I have fitted to my Subaru vehicles. The first two were more complete water pump kits (they have WP in the part number). The tensioner, gear and idler pulleys were made by Japanese manufacturers and were either very similar or indistinguishable from the original parts they replaced. The belt is manufactured by Gates in the United States and has orientation marks to help you correctly position the crankshaft and camshaft. My only concern was with the water pumps in the previous kits, which were made in China and lacked some of the fit and finish of the Subaru units that were fitted to the cars. Despite my dissatisfaction with water pumps, the parts in these kits proved reliable. The first set I installed has been running for almost two years now, the second for several months with no problems. I appreciate the quality and durability of the parts included in these kits as well as the competitive price that Revain offers. The tensioner alone costs a lot more than this kit. Additionally, Revain costs up to 50 percent less per kit than competing online retailers, a huge discount compared to the cost of parts purchased individually.
