Never dealt with them but I would guess you get what you pay for. A decent timing belt kit will run around $185 or so.

If you can get a complete engine gasket kit AND timing belt, water pump & component kit for $129.95, it most likely is Chinese made.
If you care about the engine after rebuilding it, one should use the best Aisin TKH001 TB kit below:

Just saying.

Exactly. I wouldn't mess around with cheapo head bolts and head gaskets either. Spend a little extra now up front and save yourself the headache later.
