When installing cams and/or camgears, its a good idea to replace your timing belt at the same time as your current timing belt will need to be removed anyways to install the parts. Timing belts do not last forever and old factory belts can become dry rotted or weakened. This could lead them to fail under load and completely ruin an engine. We reccomend Gates Racing Kevlar Timing Belts for their excellent quality and reasonable price. It just makes sense.
From the Gates Catalog:
"Incredibly strong, extremely heat resistant. Tough enough to take the worst pummeling your engine can dish out. No other belts help protect your engine and deliver high performance like Gates Racing Performance Timing Belts.
Yes, the color gives you a hot custom look. But look deeper. Constructed of HNBR elastomeric composites, Gates Racing Performance Timing Belts are 300% stronger than stock belts and deliver up to three times the heat resistance. You can count on them to hold up to the rigors of high horsepower, even with interference engines."
Wear Resistant Teeth: High saturation HNBR elastomeric composites contribute to the exceptional durability and heat resistance with aramid reinforcement.
Robust Reinforced Tooth Jacket: Durable nylon fiber provides extra wear resistance, doubling tooth strength.
Super Strong Tensile Cord: Added strength comes from premium, high-strength glass cords.
