Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Gates TCK338 PowerGrip Premium Timing Belt Component Kit: Superior Performance for Precise Engine Timing by Jeff Kickthedogband

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not suitable for Aveo 5 2009. Incorrect torque indicated in the data sheet

If I could I would put zero stars. The belt comes with a new bolt and instructions stating that the bolt should be tightened to 40 ft/lb. That's a lot more than the instructions say! I thought Gates should know how to install their products. The bolt rotated at about 35 ft/lbs. I had to drill and remove the broken connector. Be careful! Secondly. This belt does not fit my Chevy Aveo 5, although Amazon claims it does. So it was a waste of time and money.

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • There are nuances
