Gates Racing BMW M20 Performance Timing Belt

Three times stronger than a standard OE-style timing belt

For BMW M20 engine enthusiasts with performance upgrades, timing is everything. The timing belt ensures precise synchronization between the crankshaft and valve train, a critical function for maintaining optimal performance. Regular maintenance and timely replacement are essential, especially for interference engines.

Gates Racing timing belts are engineered for modified engines generating greater horsepower than stock. Built to endure the demands of high-power, high-RPM engines, these belts provide unmatched durability and reliability—offering triple the strength of a typical aftermarket belt.

Engine Timing Belt
The timing belt in your engine plays a vital role in aligning the valve train with the crankshaft's rotation. Replacing the timing belt at the intervals recommended by the manufacturer is essential to prevent severe engine damage. This is particularly important for interference engines, where a broken timing belt could lead to catastrophic collisions between the pistons and valves.
