From the manufacturer
Do the complete repair with a timing kit from Gates
- Sourcing different timing components of unknown quality may cause quicker wear down compared to complete kits from Gates which deliver everything you need in one box. Our kits includes value adds where applicable, such as special installation aids.
- Timing system components are designed to wear together. If the belt is worn, other components are likely worn too. That is why buying Timing kits from Gates is the best way to prevent being stuck on the side of the road.
- For the DIYer, timing repairs are labor-intensive jobs. Why would you go to the trouble of pulling off the timing cover, and then only replace one component? Gates has the ‘while you’re in there’ covered so all you have to focus on is on the job.
- If you only replace the belt, there is a good chance that other components will fail, preventing the belt from working properly and causing damage to the engine. This can be a car killer, don’t let this happen to you by replacing all the timing components at the same time.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Going on 30k miles since installing this belt. I bought it because its blue/ but mainly for its purpose of high heat strength. Living in the desert, the inside of parked car gets over 145* degrees, imagine how hot the engine gets.. after 30k miles the blue is not as bright as new, no oil leaks just normal dust. The belt did create a blue dust in timing cover for first 10k~ miles. Overall its my favorite mod on the car and love to pop the hood just to check it out

This thing is a beast!I recently had to change out my cam seals on my IS300 and while I’m at it I might as well do the entire thing since I’m at 220k. As you may know you’ll need a lot more parts than just your cam seals or if your just doing your timing belt for that matter. You want to be sure you get your new belt tensioner, tensioner bearing, and possibly your water pump if you haven’t swapped it out already.When I say this thing is a beast, I meant it. I swapped out my timing belt twice already and the other ones can be stretched just that much to get it over the bearing and in place. This one doesn’t even want to think about flexing. Which means it’s going to stay where it is for a long time. I had to place the timing belt in place and then slide the bearing in, bolt the bearing down, bolt up the belt tensioner, and release the bolt tensioner pin. FYI, if you don’t know how to replace a timing belt, leave it to the pros. Anyways, for the DIY guys, mark everything and count the teeth between the cam gear TDC markings and make sure the new belt has zero slack on the right side between the intake cam and the crank. When I say zero slack, I meant I had to fit the teeth on the crank gear for a perfect fit. Once its on, I rotated the crank shaft clockwise to triple check the markings still lined up exactly at the 60 degree mark before putting everything back in and torqued correctly.Anyways, this belt has been on for maybe 300 miles and it’s great knowing that it’s not going to stretch on me anytime soon. I’m sure I’ll hit the 300k mark with ease.

Gates Racing has been a maker of great products for quite a while and this is no exception. This belt for my 2000 Lexus GS300 (2JZ-GE engine, This belt works on the vvti and non-vvti versions of this engine) arrived on time, and installed just fine. While it is quite flexible, spreading this belt by increasing the area between each tooth is just about impossible. A good thing for a timing belt. This belt felt quite a bit stronger than the factory belt, but the factory belt has been in service for 12 years and 90K miles.

The belt is holding up well and looks legit.

Made in USA, nothing much else to say about it. Looks like it is good quality and fit right on the 2JZ.
