Gates Timing Belt Replacement

[naughtika]

Hey Fellas.. just wondering if anyone here has ever used it..

I bought the Gates T1028 which is the part number for the legnum.. size was apparently 324x34?!

but when i got the belt.. it sure does say T1028.. but the size is 324x30..

is that right?!

jesus.. i was just talking to a mate of mine with a GTO about the timing belt...

where did you get the part number from? i couldnt find anything on the gates site.

 

[naughtika]

when i was at APC.. they showed me that the part number for it is T1028.. and I believe someone here was compiling a list of parts to get the 100000kms service things..

Was it just the belt, or a full kit with tensioner, bearings, etc ?

 

[naughtika]

just the timing belt..

most bearings and tensioners are interchangeable with the fto 6A12 MIVEC engin..

The tensioner pulley is also used on the 3lt V6 in the Tritons. I discovered this when my belt was changed as I recently changed that pulley on my friends triton. I dare say quite a few parts are from the big parts bin of Mitsubishi. Not much point reinventing the wheel.

Has anyone done a list of what can be swapped bewteen the aus del cars and the legnums/galants ?

i should have my invoice from when i did my timing i should find it and give you the number and cost. Would that help?

 

[Bad-Karma]

Yeah it would. Cheers mate.

That's the part number i had Kristian, spoke to Superchap auto, they can get them.

 

[naughtika]

well i did get the gates timing belt from supercheap auto.. but i thought the T1028 will be the 324x34

but T1028 is 324x30

All i know is i told him what it was for and he looked up the car and gave me that number?

 

[Guest]

what did it cost you christian?

genuine one from japan is $245 + freight.

 

[SiliconAngel]

Where in the world did you get THAT price from, Mitch? They're nothing like that expensive, even with the exchange rate going all to hell... Someone's trying to rip you off badly, dude

 

[Guest]
