Gates Engine Timing Belt P/N:T271
Keep the crankshaft and camshaft turning in precise time with the Gates Engine Timing Belt T241 — the belt many owners look for when they search for a Gates carbon drive belt. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1993-1995 Geo Metro and the 1994-1995 Pontiac Firefly; see the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the engine in your vehicle.
As a leading global OE timing-belt manufacturer, Gates builds aftermarket belts to meet or exceed OE fit, function and performance, with construction that resists heat, wear and contamination:
The timing belt synchronizes the crankshaft and camshaft so the valves open and close in step with the pistons. A worn belt can slip, crack or shed teeth, so replacing it at the recommended interval helps keep valve timing correct. The Gates warranty matches the original manufacturer's timing-belt replacement intervals — covering parts, labor and other associated costs.

What vehicles does the Gates T241 timing belt fit?
It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1993-1995 Geo Metro and the 1994-1995 Pontiac Firefly. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the engine in your specific vehicle.
What does this timing belt do?
It synchronizes the crankshaft and camshaft so the intake and exhaust valves open and close in time with the pistons, keeping the valvetrain in mechanical sync with the engine.
What are signs the timing belt may need replacing?
Cracking, glazing, fraying, missing teeth or a high-pitched noise can be signs of wear. If the belt slips or fails, valve timing is lost, so replace it at the recommended interval.
Is the T241 part of the Gates belt drive system?
Yes. It is the timing belt within the Gates belt drive system, built with PTFE-infused jackets, HNBR rubber, premium tensile members and aramid-reinforced nylon jackets and backsides.
Does the Gates warranty cover more than the belt?
Gates matches the original manufacturer's timing-belt replacement intervals, with coverage that includes parts, labor and other associated costs when installed per the recommended service procedure.
