5SGTE timing belt - Gen2 or Gen3/4???

Post by J-1 »

I'm about to order a HKS timing belt, but I'm not sure if it's a Gen2 or Gen3/4.

Can anyone help?

I'm guessing that would depend on the bottom end. Do you have a gen2 block and ancilliaries, do you have a gen3 block and ancilliaries or do you maybe have a frankenstein motor with combinations of both?

It depends on what cylinder head you are using.

Rev3+ head you need a Rev3 belt (HKS part no 24999-AT006 with 177 teeth).

Rev3 oil pump pulley = Rev3 belt, rev2 pulley = rev2 belt

The Rev3 oil pump pulley has less teeth to run oil pump faster. Belt has less teeth accordingly

Camry pulleys have square teeth if I remember correctly so should have been swapped to rev2 or Rev3 pulley so will need to know which one went on to recommend a belt
