Review: Fantastic Product (OEM EXACT BEARINGS, IDLER, TENSIONER), Unbeatable Price, Fast Shipping, $70 cheaper than Oreilly's - I had meant to take pictures of the old vs. new bearings, but I was in the middle of it and completely immersed in the maintenance at hand. First impressions: it came in a box with a tray holding the bearings (two were individually wrapped), very secure considering shipping companies toss your stuff all over. Everything matched, EXACTLY DOWN TO THE TINY WRITING, for all the bearings. The belt, obviously was not a match, but it is a Made In USA part and I can attest to its quality. I did countless hours of research trying to decide what kit to buy, there is eBay, SubaruGenuineParts, vendors on the forums, etc. etc. No one came close to this price, it almost seemed like a scam. How could they possible contain the same parts for literally more than 1/2 the price less. The lowest genuine Subaru part kit cost about $250 of all the places I found, and I found A LOT. I figured since I have prime I'll ship it out fast, if it's crap I'll send it back. The bearings, idler, tensioner were all OEM exact parts from NTN, NSK, and KOYO. Individually these parts cost well over $120. It is a steal of a deal, the belt is quality, and the markings line up exactly to the teeth. The instructions that came in the box were even nearly identical copies from the subaru master tech manuals (which if you need better details, here you go: http://ken-gilbert.com/impreza-manuals). Best piece of advice, take the radiator out, it gives you tons of room, way easier to work on. Getting the pulley off I used the bump start method, generally it is recommended to be very careful using this. It worked for me, but use with extreme caution. I also removed the camshaft pulleys while the old belt was still tensioned on, and finger tightened them back, installed and tensioned the new belt, and then torqued them down by putting it in 5th gear and ebrake on (not sure about autos, and used the same technique to torque the crank pulley). Overall, very smooth, easy instructions. Fantastic product, will buy again when/if needed. GOOD LUCK. Review: Car timing belt kit - Looks to be high quality materials and construction. Everything fit and worked right. Decent price, good deal. ## Features - Total solution for any application: TCK includes belts, idler(s), tensioners, tensioner springs, supporting hardware, detailed installation instructions and Technical Service Bulletins for troublesome applications - Popular kits covering domestic and import (European and Asian) vehicle applications - Designed for convenience, easy parts sourcing and reduced customer comebacks ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B002R8HMAY | | Best Sellers Rank | #437,434 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #233 in Automotive Replacement Timing Belt Kits | | Brand | Gates | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (466) | | Date First Available | October 10, 2007 | | Exterior | Machined | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 5.3 pounds | | Item model number | TCK304 | | Manufacturer | Gates | | Manufacturer Part Number | TCK304 | | Model | PowerGrip Premium Timing Belt Component Kit | | OEM Part Number | TCK304 | | Position | Center | ## Images ![TCK304 PowerGrip Premium Timing Belt Component Kit - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/719ve0JH7IL.jpg) ![TCK304 PowerGrip Premium Timing Belt Component Kit - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/812bPW9NJrL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: There have recently been comments suggesting that some of the bearings are of Chinese make, and not to be trusted, has this been addressed?** A: The kit I ordered in October contained Chinese bearings. Stupidly, I installed them. The car went 50 miles then the timing belt lept of the cam gears and shredded itself. No one could give me a good explanation for the spontaneous self destruction my engine had gone through. After having the heads rebuilt (AGAIN) I put the OEM bearings and tensioner back on, and the car has now done 300 miles without incident. I STRONGLY suspect the Gates bearings opr tensioner were to blame. AVOID THESE KITS. **Q: Hi... this is the same tckt304? i see in website this reference replaces tck304... can you confirm this? thank you** A: it might of there is an improved model when I looked at the gates website.Timing Component Kit Timing Belt Component Kit TCK304 Interference engine application; OE ImprovedTiming Component Kit Timing Belt Component Kit TCK304N Interference engine application; OE Design **Q: hi will this fit on a 2008 subaru impreza 2.0 R??** A: Gates only lists timing belt kits for this year make and model using the 2.5 single and dual cam engines. Because they only catalog data for vehicles that were built to be sold in the USA, you may not find a suitable replacement offering for this engine combination.Bruce **Q: Does this come with the spacer tool (appears to be a red piece on other sites) that fixes the clearance issues with manual trans Subaru/Saab models?** A: Yes it comes with clearance tool and Tech Service Update to show you how to properly use it. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Product (OEM EXACT BEARINGS, IDLER, TENSIONER), Unbeatable Price, Fast Shipping, $70 cheaper than Oreilly's *by Z***Y on July 8, 2015* I had meant to take pictures of the old vs. new bearings, but I was in the middle of it and completely immersed in the maintenance at hand.

Decent price, good deal. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect! *by J***R on October 31, 2012* My 2004 Forester XS hit the 125,000 mile mark, and I began on the quest of doing my 2 year maintenance. Did my oil and oil filter, cabin and air filters, front and rear differential fluids, transmission and power steering fluids, the fuel filter, and finally the spark plugs and spark plug cables. After going through there recommended guide to see if I missed anything important, I found I indeed had - the timing belt! Subaru recommends replacing at 105,000 miles, and reading up online I heard horrific tales of the belts failing at 125-140k miles, leaving the poor driver stranded and at the mercy of the nearest mechanic. Determined not to let this happen to me, I started looking in to timing belt replacement and found it would run $1,000+ easily. Holy cow! Shaking my head in disbelief and refusing to spend that much a car that's only worth about $7,500 on a good day, I began to look in to doing the job myself. Countless hours on youtube and reading subaruforester.org led me to conclude the Gates TCK304 kit was my best bet, and at well under $200 it seemed like a bargain. Getting access to the timing belt on a Subaru is no easy task - it requires removing the accessory belts, radiator, crank bolt and pulley, and finally the cover. However, when I finally reached the belt and its pulleys, I was happy to see I had made the right choice. The pulleys in the Gates kit were ABSOLUTELY IDENTICAL to the factory-installed ones on my Forester. The belt, while a different brand, was of high quality and included easy to see markings so I could line it up to the spots the old one came off. If you're working on a Subaru with 100,000+ miles I'd recommend replacing or at least inspecting the following since you'll have easy access to do so: - Thermostat, thermostat gasket, and heater hose - Water pump and water pump gasket - Radiator hoses, especially the lower one - Crank and cam seals - Outer Accessory belts And note that since changing the timing belt requires removing the radiator, you'll need new coolant of course. Subaru recommends their "green" coolant mixed 50/50 with diluted water, along with a 4 oz bottle of their coolant conditioner. Tip for SOHC 2.5L engines - wait before putting the lower two pulleys on. Put the belt on the crank, then passenger's cam, making sure the marks on the belt line up. Then do the driver's cam, and use a clip to make it stay there while you install the bottom pulleys.
