Timing belt Continental or Gates
Thats a gates replacement,done at the required distance.,100k
That's a gates timing belt which is a high quality aftermarket belt. It is not OEM and has been replaced. It looks like it was replaced at around 100k miles which is spot on.
Been running them on my 350hp turbo M20 for 6 years now with no issues
You could use a Gates timing belt, they're great quality.
Fitted new gates belt
I ran a Continental belt on my timing belt. 30k km's, absolutely revving the snot out of the car and ragging on the car for a long time. Belt survived no problem. Appeared to be good quality
Gates are reckoned to be the best.
Was able to get the new belt installed with a little less tension but still less than 90* of flex. It till popped a tiny bit during crank rotation, but I decided to go with it, have driven it for about an hour or so, put it through a couple heat cycles all while checking it every 15 ish minutes. First couple times I checked it, it was kinda tight, last couple times I checked it, it felt ok, so idk.
I have worked on some where the belt itself snapped in under 10-15k miles, others where the bearings fell apart in the 40-50k mile range. I no longer use them and refuse to install them on customer vehicles.
Posibil sa fi pățit ceva asemanator cu piese cumparate de la Bardi. Distribuție schimbată de 2 ani și 6-7 luni, m-a lăsat in drum după 35k km. Din câte știu ar fi trebuit sa țină 4-5 ani sau 60k.
