bheinen74 Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 my guess is 304 tooth vs 307 tooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there's a difference in the teeth between the 304 and 307 belts.

Petersubaru Posted March 3, 2010 Author Share Posted March 3, 2010 (edited) so if your car takes a Gates 307 timing belt..then you can not upgrade to the older style tensioner without also getting the matching TB ( has a different length requirement and tooth design) plus all toothed pulleys or wheels would also have to exchanged to fit the different belt Edited March 11, 2010 by Petersubaru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iluvdrt Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 FWIW if you want to save some money on that belt, buy a T-belt from NAPA. They are made by Gates, and resonably priced. I just did a reseal on my 99 Lego. I bought all my parts there and was curious about the belt. Sure enough on the back of the box it said manuf by gates for NAPA. I was like cool!

If you don't beleive me, do a search at RockAuto. It gives tooth count, and dimensions for each belt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
