Beware !!! H22a Gates Racing Timing Belt crack only 800km travelled and no high rev above 4000 at all as I was breaking in my engine. See attachment. And worse the seller tell me that racing timing belt no warranty I wonder is it a knock off or is gates racing timing belt is of low quality. I spent usd119 this is what I get. See photo below. Thank for viewing. Please think before buying.



What Racing Timing Belt is this quality worse then oem timing belt? Any Gates Dealer here ???

 

Gates makes the Honda belts so I would be inclined to think that it was either installed wrong or too much(or too little) tension before I would think it was fail early like that.

No offense to you at all.

Have never heard of anything like that from a Gates belt.

 

Tough to know exactly what happened, or the exact quality of the belt. That is why I just use O.E.M. timing belts.

How much was the new belt you bought?

 

After seeing the cross-post across at least 2 other sections, I am closing this and giving the side note for all aftermarket parts.... Buyer beware.
