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

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…

NEVER fit Chinese made timing belt kit parts to a Subaru. Not at all, damn it! However, that is included in this Gates kit. Parts from China. The only reason I can think of why Gates decided to stop using 100% Japanese made parts and that would be for profit. IMHO there can be no other reason. I returned the kit for a full refund. Here's the good news: for around $30, you can buy a true OEM kit from AISIN that's 100% made in Japan. Aisin TKF-001 timing belt kit with water pump. With that, there

117117 miles on my buggy. It's time to change the timing belt. I had a Haynes manual for my car which made things a little easier. My dad and I just followed the steps in the book and everything went pretty smoothly. With the SOHC EJ25 this is easy as you only need to align 3 points on the belt. The water pump was easy to install. The new belt was quite difficult to tighten as everything was so tight even with the new tensioner set to its weakest position. After some elbow greasing we got it on

This is the best kit available from Gates for Subaru SOHC engines. It has a full impeller water pump (the same one that is factory installed). It also comes with a metal water pump seal. And the included Loctite threadlocker saved my ass because the last person to make the timing belt on my engine threaded the last pulley. I tried threading it with a tap but it broke as soon as I applied torque. I applied a generous amount of thread lock, reinstalled the bolt and let it sit for 2 hours before…

A perfect match for our 2004 Subaru Impreza Outback Sport Wagon. The set came quickly, without damage, well packaged. Everything in the photo was included. Water pump and sockets fit together perfectly. The kit has been installed since June 2019 with 220,000 miles, so far no leaks, slips or warning lights/codes. Works like a tank and likes to keep it on the road rather than in a landfill. The photos posted above are after installing the water pump kit and new timing belt. Finding parts for this

Don't buy this. I entered all the information about my car and was told she would fix my car, she did NOT. When the package arrived it was open. So I'm guessing someone brought it back before then. I should have returned it then. I had to call the manufacturer because I couldn't read the corrupted copy of the installation guide that came with it. So it took me a while to get it. After gathering the tools and other parts I wanted to replace, I began the installation. None of the details fit. I…
