Review on πŸ”§ Gates TCKWP328 Engine Timing Belt Kit with Water Pump: Ultimate Precision and Performance for Optimal Engine Timing by Donnell Cursed

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It worked great, plan ahead!

I have a 2005 Legacy GT and bought the kit with some hesitation based on some of the reviews I read. I've seen enough positive reviews to take a chance; But I still bought the original seal for the water pump. I also replaced the water pump mounts. They must be tightened and it is better not to risk it with the original fasteners. I would recommend this kit. I probably should have gone with the OEM water pump; but not. Since I changed the timing belt in early January and jumped in the water, I haven't had any more problems. I agree that some of the parts are from China, but the parts from Japan are also clearly marked. That's a lot compared to OEM; but plan carefully ahead!.

Pros
  • Sturdy finish
Cons
  • Some difficulties
