Description

Keep the crankshaft and camshaft rotating in sync with the Gates Engine Timing Belt T185, so the valves open and close in time with the pistons. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 1990-1993 Ford Festiva, 1994-1997 Ford Aspire and 1994-1995 Kia Sephia; see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list. Engine specifics vary by application, so check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your engine.

Gates is a leading global manufacturer of OE timing belts, and this belt is engineered to match or surpass OE fit, function and performance while resisting heat, wear and contamination:

PTFE-infused jackets: reduce frictional losses and tooth shear.
High-grade HNBR rubber: for superior heat and contamination resistance.
Premium tensile members: provide maximum strength.
Aramid-reinforced nylon jackets and backsides: increase durability and belt life.

The Gates warranty is written to match the original manufacturer's timing belt replacement intervals — covering not just parts but labor and other associated costs. If a worn or aging timing belt is the cause of your concern, this belt replaces it; plan the change at the recommended service interval.
