Gates Timing Belt Kit

You know the belt is Hyundai from Gates? Yes, that's right. And the tensioners included in the kit are made in <,<, Korea where the car was made. Save some money and buy it with spare parts. I've clocked 300,000 miles on my Elantra and this is the FIRST time the tensioners have been changed. Maybe another 100,000 will do. Change the oil every 25,000 km. I've used Amsoil every time it has 12,000 miles on it. I have to let the rings sit, I know. Hi! It's 2016 and I've put 70,000 miles on this kit! All is well! When I get another 30,000 miles I will change it again with the same kit. Actually I bought a water pump last night. Couldn't pass up the price of the original Hyundai pump. $45.00 Free Shipping! In any case. Plan to drive a million miles in this car! Well it's April 2017, 388,000 miles on my car, damn fuel pump failed last week. I can't believe he hasn't driven 400,000 miles! Just kidding. Another 12,000 miles and I'll get my belt set back. The last one is 100,000 miles. Good parts!
