Gates Engine Timing Belt P/N:T356
Keep the camshaft and crankshaft turning in precise time with the Gates Engine Timing Belt T272. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1995-1997 Geo Metro, 1995-1997 Pontiac Firefly, and 1995-1997 Suzuki Swift, maintaining the timed connection that keeps the valves opening and closing in step with the pistons.
A timing belt wears with age and mileage; signs it may need replacing include visible cracking, glazing, frayed edges, or missing or rounded teeth. If a worn or failing belt is the cause of your engine's timing trouble, this belt replaces it — diagnose the belt's condition first and follow the vehicle's recommended replacement interval. Inspect the related sprockets, tensioner, and seals while the belt is off.
