Timing Belt Time Again
Hello Folks,
Its time for me to do my timing belt again! (221K).
Where have people been purchasing their parts from for this project?
What are the list of part numbers for this (if you have a link, great)?
Has anyone replaced the accessory belt tensioner pulley?
Thank you,

I don't want to clog up the DIY thread on this, because I am not DIY!
This is about the parts.
I was thinking of getting the Aisen recommended. But talked to a guy who did 100's of Honda TB's. He says he usually goes with the Dayco from Autozone and has never had a problem. Amazon reviews are all 5* on it and one comment said they are Japanese parts. I see the kits are $194 on Autozone. Plus they give $35 GC for each $100 for ship to home order. So I get this to $200 with some fillers and I get $70 back. So $130 for the kit. I also get 8% CB going through a shopping portal. So that is another $16 off, or about $114 for the kit.
Since the guy who I will have do the work recommends this, I am thinking of going with it. He would be fine to do the Aisen as well. But from my experience mechanics are more likely to stand behind the work if they use their recommended parts. Otherwise they can blame the parts you brought to them for any problem. Therefore leaning toward Dayco unless someone knows something different!
I think I could a similar $200 price from AdvanceAuto and get 35% off instead of Autozone GCs, which would be a better deal. Looking into that as well.
