Review on ⏱️ AISIN TKK-003 Engine Timing Belt Kit with Water Pump: Complete Engine Maintenance Solution by Tim Rushing

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Misleading Kit NOT All Aisin Components

Buyer Attention, I have been led to believe that I am receiving all Aisin components in this 'kit' as listed on the Aisin shipping box as they are in the water are pump box. The belt looked decent, thick and with Mitsuboshi markings. As you can see from the smaller packaging; Tensioner pulley, tensioner and tensioner bearing - PHC (Valeo). After countless hours of installation and triple checking my work, the tensioner and tensioner bearing had to be removed and reinstalled 5 times as it was not supporting the axle. The concentric tensioner and intermediate bearing require fine adjustment to rotate on the axle and no matter what I tried, including my neighbor who is a trained mechanic, the bearing did not hold the center axle under tension as the instructions that came with it stated (Kia repair manual for Link) Every time I installed the tensioner bearing, I manually cranked the engine only to watch the bearing slip off center. substitute.

Pros
  • Installation Type: Vehicle Specific
Cons
  • Drill Kit
