Gates Engine Timing Belt P/N:T281

$29.99

Description

Keep the crankshaft and camshaft turning in precise sync with the Gates Engine Timing Belt T281. This toothed drive belt fits the 1995-2002 Kia Sportage, meshing with the timing gears so the valves open and close in the correct relationship to piston position. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the listed application.

A timing belt is a routine wear item, and replacing it before it fails helps keep the valvetrain and crankshaft properly timed.

Drives the valvetrain: Its teeth engage the crankshaft and camshaft sprockets to synchronize rotation.
Wear item: Loops over the timing pulleys as a routine maintenance replacement.
Signs it may need replacing: Visible cracking, fraying, glazing, or missing teeth; a ticking or slapping noise from the timing area; or an engine that cranks but won't start if the belt has broken.

Install per the vehicle service procedure, and inspect the tensioner and related timing components while access is open.
