Return the gates timing belt kit and get a oem, continental or Aisan timing belt kit.

Gates racing kit been working well for me. Idlers are from Japan. Think the only downside is the stamped impeller on water pump. Cast is better in the long run but to be fair, service interval is like 105k miles and it should last past that.

The pulley from some gates kits are from japan but the tensioner is made in China and can still leaking & fail. It is just worth it when the other kits can be bought for similar money.

Some of the items in a Gates Kit are China Junk.

 

Go to Subaru and get real Japanese Made items pulleys, etc. (Subaru)

 

Yo may think you are saving money, but when some junk cheap pulley, idler, tensioner fails and your engine is damage (Bent Valves etc) what money did you save? NONE.

 

The same goes for thermostats, belts, oxygen sensors.

 

If you buy enough parts from your local Subaru dealer and you get to know them, they will start to give you better discounts, I know because it happened to me.
