Interference Engine Issue - Valve/Piston Interference

Interference Engine Issues

Got an Interference Engine?
Find Out Now
Timing belt-equipped car engines can be classified as either free-running or interference, depending on what occurs if piston/valve synchronization is lost due to a failed timing belt.

Notes: Timing belt failure on interference engines can result in serious engine damage. See manufacturer's maintenance manual for specific information. Belts of similar dimensions and tooth profiles are not interchangeable due to varying construction features. Misapplication of belts voids manufacturer's warranty.

Product Warranty

The very best warranty in the business. Gates TCKs with Water Pump have the same warranty as our standard TCKs – to last as long as the Original Equipment Manufacturers’ recommended replacement interval. When you see the Gates logo, you know you’re getting guaranteed OE fit, quality and performance.
