Hi all

Timing belt will be changed May 10th ahead of the meet. If I provide the parts I would like to know what and from where, no guessing, just clear and concise advice appreciated :)

Merci

I just did this recently and used Gates autocat to get the right part number. Then once I had the kit number I got one from Amazon of all places!

Your B18FT engine number is going to be greater than 16530 so you should need gates kit K015130XS.

Other manufacturers are available but Gates are well regarded and the price isn't bad. ‎
