Review on 🔧 Gates TCKWP338 PowerGrip Premium Timing Belt Component Kit with Water Pump - Ensuring Optimal Engine Performance and Efficiency by Andrew Britton

Revainrating 5 out of 5

High quality set, so far so good.

So far so good on my 15 year old Cruze. I had to change the timing belt when the water pump seal started leaking. The original pump is still good but I decided to just buy this kit and replace everything. What I didn't know and don't want to know is that the kit includes new bolts for the idler, idler, and crank pulley. These are TTY bolts that need replacing and I tracked down the part numbers and ordered them from the dealer not knowing the kit came with them. It also comes with an assembly guide that lists some torque specifications which was helpful. One suggestion is that if you have a timing belt change, you might as well replace the front crankshaft seal while you're there. Mine was perfect at 100k but I went ahead and replaced it.

Pros
  • Timing Belt Kit
Cons
  • Problem
