Reviews of Gates parts For Business

Gates makes the best timing belts.

I installed a Gates 33009S 195 degree after my Hughes install and haven’t had issues.

The brand new thermostat wasn’t opening all the way. One new Gates thermostat fixed the issue.

I have the gates kevlar belt. It's great.

Update: it was the water pump. Got a new Gates water pump (screws and gasket included). Installed it, no sealant or anything. Works flawlessly. Not a drop anywhere.

I’ve always worked on Miata’s, but I’ve never used anything other than gates timing belt and water pumps. Only time I’ve had a gates timing belt fail on me was due to my own fault in which the belt was rubbing on the timing covers until it got caught and ripped a chunk out of it. Even without that chunk it still ran and drove fine while revving the engine 1000rpms past its intended revlimiter.

I've bought parts for cars that claimed to be made in Japan only to find made in China stamps on some of the parts included, like gates timing belt kits most of the parts were from Japan except one of the pulleys they switched to China source so I know to not use the Chinese pulley in that kit

Did a gates kit on mine. Water pump is leaking after 60k miles.

Gates are bad. No go.

I used a Gates belt that the marks were off last fall.
