...AUTOMOTIVE PASSENGER CAR ACCESSORY BELT DRIVE SYSTEM Tech Tip Standard industry belt diagnostics call for replacement of a serpentine \ belt if it shows three cracks in a three inch section. This is a good rule of thumb for Neoprene, but not so good for EPDM. EPDM belts inherently resis...
...There has been a big evolution in car fuel technology: pressures have gone a lot higher, fuel permeation is legally controlled and there are numerous different fuel blends. These blends have chemical compositions which can damage the rubber of standard fuel hoses , plastic seals and no...
...AUTOMOTIVE PASSENGER CAR SYNCHRONOUS BELT DRIVE SYSTEM Technical Service Bulletin SELECTION OF THE CORRECT TIMING COMPONENT KIT Both 3.0L + 3.2L V-6 engines utilize the same lower idler pulley(T42086) and are included in all kits. The original OE design utilized a fixed lower idler, whic...
...The idler T42140 ( Fig.1 and Fig.2) is used in many engines but the threaded engine installation hole may differ in size. The Gates idler is supplied with a M8 bolt that has a 10mm shaft and a washer. Some applications require an M10 . If so the original bolt can be re -used...
...Extensive research on these applications has led Gates Engineers to identify multiple mistakes to avoid when inspecting and servicing any timing system components. In addition to observing the following precautions, Gates is now including a tube of Loctite® 243™ Medium Strength Threadlo...
