Using this Gates racing timing belt kit is straightforward. First, make sure your vehicle is turned off and cooled down. Remove the old timing belt, tensioner, idler pulleys, and water pump carefully. Then, install the new parts from the kit one by one. Start with the water pump, ensuring the gaskets are properly placed. Next, install the idler pulleys and the hydraulic tensioner. Finally, put on the racing timing belt. Make sure all parts are tightened to the recommended torque. When it comes to maintenance, regularly check the tension of the timing belt. If it seems loose or shows signs of wear, it might need adjustment or replacement. Also, keep an eye on the water pump for any leaks. If you notice any issues, it's best to get it checked out by a professional. Remember, proper installation and maintenance will ensure the long - lasting performance of your kit.
