No worse than OEM in engine part

Works great on Firebird 3800 V6. Made in Canada. It comes with plastic elbows, but I have previously replaced them with better quality metal elbows.

New Timing Parts Tensioner

My old tensioner didn't let me ride in the rain but this one does. Not only that, but steering power so there is no "slip" in wet weather. I like it. Fiction.

Pros
  • Replacement Parts
Cons
  • Frequency

Mine came with aluminum water pipes

V-ribbed belt no longer falls off! Mine came with two aluminum water knees. I wish I knew this came with elbows as I bought a few of these separately which had the return window closed.

Pros
  • engines and engine parts
Cons
  • quality

WILL NOT FIT, DON'T BELIEVE IT IS SAID

This says it fits my car and it doesn't. DO NOT BELIEVE what you are told and I cannot refund you either. BIG FAT JOKE! funny that there is no bracket to mount the alternator and since i didn't work on the machine right away, i'm now stuck on a part i can't even use. DO NOT BUY HERE I knew I should have gone to my local parts store

Pros
  • Engine Parts
Cons
  • Strap
