Timing Belt Gates Premium PTFE HNBR Design

Description

Product Overview

The Gates Premium Automotive Timing Belt (Model T325) is engineered for high‑performance engines that demand precision and durability. Featuring PTFE‑infused jackets, the belt minimizes frictional losses and tooth shear, while high‑grade HNBR rubber provides superior resistance to heat, oil, and contaminants. Premium tensile members deliver maximum strength, and aramid‑reinforced nylon jackets and backsides further enhance durability and service life. Weighing just 7 ounces, the machined exterior ensures a perfect fit for OEM specifications, matching part numbers 14401MT3004, 14401MT30041, and OHC325.

Usage

Designed for a broad spectrum of automotive applications, this timing belt excels in both daily commuting and high‑performance scenarios. It is ideal for engines that operate under high temperature and load conditions, such as sport‑tuned vehicles, heavy‑duty trucks, and performance‑oriented motorcycles. Installers appreciate its straightforward replacement process, which aligns with standard timing cover access points.
