Gates Engine Timing Belt P/N:T298
Keep your engine's crankshaft and camshaft turning in precise time with the Gates Engine Timing Belt (T166). It installs as a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 1989-1992 Chevrolet Sprint, 1989-1993 Geo Metro and 1989-1991 Pontiac Firefly — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine-level coverage.
A timing belt synchronizes the crankshaft and camshaft so the valves open and close in time with the pistons; a worn belt can slip, jump teeth or fail. Gates engineers its automotive timing belts to meet or exceed OE fit, function and performance, with resistance to heat, wear and contamination across broad import and domestic coverage.
Gates backs the belt with a warranty matched to the vehicle manufacturer's timing belt replacement intervals, covering not just parts but also labor and other associated costs.
