Which vehicles does the Gates T286RB timing belt fit?
It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1997-1999 and 2001-2003 Acura CL, 2001-2002 Acura MDX, 1999-2003 Acura TL, 1998-2002 Honda Accord, 1999-2004 Honda Odyssey, and 2003-2004 Honda Pilot. See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your engine.
What is the belt made of?
It's constructed of HNBR elastomeric composites with gripping teeth reinforced by an aramid and nylon cover. The specially-formulated HNBR rubber compound is designed to provide up to 3X the heat resistance to minimize wear.
Is this belt suitable for interference engines?
Yes. Gates rates its superior construction as designed to reduce the chance of engine damage, particularly on interference engines, where correct valve timing is critical.
How strong is the RPM belt compared to a standard belt?
Gates states this RPM belt is as much as 300 percent stronger than the standard aftermarket belt, delivering high performance for higher-horsepower engines.
Should I replace other components with the timing belt?
Follow the vehicle service information. Many technicians renew the tensioner, idlers, and water pump at the same interval; consult the service procedure to confirm what your engine requires.
