Concurrently, factory water pump mechanical seals dry out and weep pressurized coolant past the internal bearings, washing out factory grease and leading to shaft seizure. When original idler and tensioner bearings wear down, rotational friction increases, creating belt deflection and catastrophic timing loss. Furthermore, aging front crankshaft and camshaft seals dry out and weep oil directly onto the timing assembly, accelerating synthetic belt degradation and compromising timing case integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis comprehensive service kit replaces all critical timing drive components in a single service interval. The included 163-tooth timing belt features heat-resistant synthetic elastomers reinforced with high-tensile aramid cords to resist stretching under high-load RPM shifts. The replacement water pump incorporates a precision die-cast aluminum housing, balanced impeller, and heavy-duty mechanical seal to resist cavitation and optimize coolant flow. Accompanied by pre-greased, sealed tensioner and idler bearings alongside high-temperature cam and crank oil seals, this kit secures accurate valvetrain synchronization and long-term fluid containment across the \u003cstrong\u003eT160\u003c\/strong\u003e chassis engine bay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Timing Belt (163 teeth)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Tensioner Roller Bearing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Idler Bearing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Crankshaft Seal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Camshaft Seal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Water Pump with Gaskets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x: auto; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-size: 14px; min-width: 300px;\"\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eFitment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e1987-1989 Toyota Celica\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e3S-FE (2.0L) \/ ST162\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eStock Output\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e115 hp \/ 124 lb-ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eReplaces OEM Part #\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eN\/A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1987 Toyota Celica 2.0L DOHC 4-Cyl (3S-FE \/ ST162)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1988 Toyota Celica 2.0L DOHC 4-Cyl (3S-FE \/ ST162)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1989 Toyota Celica 2.0L DOHC 4-Cyl (3S-FE \/ ST162)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with 3SFE\/5SFE DOHC 4-cylinder engines (163-tooth timing belt spec)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions \u0026amp; Fitment Warnings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes this fit the ST162 Celica?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this is a direct fit for the 1987-1989 Toyota Celica equipped with the \u003cstrong\u003e3S-FE\u003c\/strong\u003e engine. \u003cstrong\u003eDoes not fit V6 models or non-S-series engines; verify your engine code before ordering.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eShould front oil seals and the water pump be replaced during a timing belt service?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, refreshing the water pump, idlers, and cam\/crank seals during belt replacement eliminates redundant labor and prevents oil contamination from destroying the new timing belt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Toyota Caliber\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePreserve the rev-happy performance and daily operational reliability of your classic JDM \u003cstrong\u003e3S-FE\u003c\/strong\u003e powertrain with timing and cooling components precision-matched to factory operational tolerances.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67545245319416,"sku":"DS-E6JN89IUK","price":71.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/performance-water-pump-timing-belt-kit-for-toyota-celica-1987-1989-2-0l-1.jpg?v=1790720211","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/products\/performance-water-pump-timing-belt-kit-for-toyota-celica-1987-1989-2-0l","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
