Review on ⌛ Gates TCKWP304 Engine Timing Belt Kit with Water Pump: Superior Performance and Durability for Optimal Engine Performance by Todd Stepp

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Almost perfect timing

A good reason to change the timing belt and tensioner pulley. A tensioner leak forced the timing belt to be replaced very early on and I settled on this particular kit. It arrived quickly, was a great price and fit like a glove. The only addition I would suggest is replacing the gaskets while you are there. It's pretty stupid to have an oil leak because you didn't replace the gaskets for twenty bucks when it was easy. Oh, and the water pump screw torque is IN-lbs, not ft-lbs. Last but not least, you can get an inch/pound torque wrench from Harbor Freight for about $20, which is a lot cheaper than repairing a thread on an aluminum block.

Pros
  • Useful not only for its intended purpose
Cons
  • Compatibility
