Review on 🔧 Gates TCKWP307 Engine Timing Belt Kit incl. Water Pump by Covey Palmer

is as good as OEM because it is made by OEM and also the best price here is almost 100 less than anywhere else. I almost feel bad for people who walk into an auto parts store and drop 260-360 for the same kit. With everything you need to change the timing belt and a new water pump. This was for a 2001 Outback with 157,000 miles on which the timing belt was never changed. The water pump is driven by the toothed belt. It wasn't a good idea for me to spend a lot of money on a new timing belt kit only to have the old water pump fail or leak and then after a few thousand have to go back and replace the pump. Miles. The engine sounds better, no more rattling when you first start the car. Now the car has driven another 100,000 km.
