1997 Geo Tracker - Timing Belt Kit With Water Pump

Replacing an Engine Timing Belt and Water Pump

An engine timing kit with a water pump is a comprehensive set of components used to service the timing system of an engine. These complete kits usually include a replacement timing belt, any necessary tensioners and idler pulleys, and a new water pump. Due to the location of these parts, it's common practice to replace everything at the same time if either the timing belt or water pump fails. Since these components have similar lifespans and require replacement around the same time, replacing all of these components simultaneously helps prevent future breakdowns and extra labor costs. Timing belts are designed to be replaced regularly, often around 60 to 100 thousand miles, and it is a good idea to check your head gasket failure if not addressed. If you're servicing the timing system or water pump on a vehicle, O'Reilly Auto Parts offers complete engine timing repair kits with water pumps for most vehicles to help save time and ensure a lasting repair.
