Gates Engine Timing Belt P/N:T245RB
Keep your engine's valves and pistons in sync with the Gates Engine Timing Belt T266, a direct-fit replacement for the 1995-1998 Mazda Protege. A timing belt links the crankshaft to the camshaft so the intake and exhaust valves open and close in time with the piston strokes — as it ages, its teeth can glaze, crack, or shed, throwing off that timing.
