Best parts for timing belt/waterpump replacement
I'm not looking for the least expensive, but your opinion on who makes the best or at least better parts for when I replace them this Spring. Who did you use if you did your own?
Thanks

Aisin or OEM, accept no substitutes.

The OEM kit is basically an Aisin kit; the difference is the OEM kit also comes with some extra seals and a serpentine belt.

I'm having good luck with the Gates timing belt and water pump kit for the last 3 years on my 2000 TL. Belt and water pump seemed it had better quality than the continental kit when I compared them.

Personally I'm thinking I'll do those seals for the second Timing Belt job at the 210,000 mile mark.
