Description

Keep your engine's valves opening and closing in time with the crankshaft using the Gates Engine Timing Belt T185. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1990-1993 Ford Festiva, 1990-1994 Mazda 323, 1990-1994 Mazda Protege, 1992-1993 Mazda MX-3, 1994-1997 Ford Aspire, and 1994-1995 Kia Sephia. As a wear item, the timing belt is designed to be replaced at the interval specified in your vehicle's service schedule.

Timing synchronization: the toothed belt links the crankshaft and camshaft so the valves stay in phase with piston movement.
Direct-fit replacement: made to serve the listed Ford, Mazda, and Kia applications.
Signs it may need replacing: a ticking or slapping noise from the belt cover, visible cracking or fraying, missing teeth, hard starting, or a rough-running engine can indicate a worn timing belt.

If a worn or failing timing belt is the cause of these symptoms, this belt replaces it. Because the belt drives the valvetrain, follow the manufacturer's recommended replacement interval and consult the vehicle service information for the correct procedure and torque values.

Interchange: Manufacturer part number T185.
