Review on 🕒 Gates TCKWP286: Optimize Performance with Engine Timing Belt Kit and Water Pump by Kevin Hauck

I have a 2007 Honda Pilot EXL with a J35AD (VTEC) engine. The 2007 pilots used two models of the VTEC engine. I never knew what the difference between the engines was. Now I seem to know one of them. I bought this kit from Revain because I knew it was right for my pilot. My son and I removed all of the parts from the front of the engine and installed new bearings and a water pump. The last part to be installed is the toothed belt. After working on it for an hour, we found that the belt in this set is 1 inch wide. The belt we removed was 3/4" wide. A 1" belt will not fit this engine. We went to our auto parts store and bought the correct belt. Everything else worked fine. I thought about it, tearing everything down and buying the right kit for the car, it just wasn't worth paying the $38 belt in the end.
