Looking for recommendations for Timing Belt Replacement Kits...

Can anyone recommend, based on experience, a good quality timing belt replacement kit? Either OEM or high quality aftermarket kits will do.

They should contain a timing belt, timing belt tensioner, water pump, etc...

Thank you!

don't buy from amazon/ebay as counterfeits are mixed with real ones and you can't tell!!!! Same with spark plugs!!!!

Buy from local store or rockauto.com. AISIN kit is the best bet! Buy NGK plugs and get valve cover gasket (with spark plug tube seals) set while you are doing the work.

This past year, many posters reported problems with fake AISIN TB kits and NGK spark plugs (even with Amazon as seller). Given all the time and effort to get to the timing belt, I will do my next timing belt job with OEM parts.
