High quality gun parts

This is a high quality kit. Timing belt tracks perfect. Gates makes the very best belts for sure. Going this route also allows you to replace the thermostat, camshaft seals, and crankshaft seal. They are cheap and take about 2 minutes to swap out. Made valve cover gaskets, wires and candles. Once you get fat you can just do the whole damn thing

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Upgrades available

Water pump quality: belts, hoses and pulleys

Ordered and received a timing belt kit with water pump. I thought I did a study on the quality of the parts in the "kit". Paid a Lexus mechanic to install it as a side job he did at the dealership. Water pump leaking after 20,000 miles and 16 months of use. Of course there is a 4 month guarantee. This may be an isolated situation, but it still involves the purchase of another pump and installation/replacement costs. OEM will go this time.

Pros
  • Good
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Received Aisin Kit > Glad I did

Was not the quality I expected. I ended up not using this, so I'm basing my opinion on the items not being OEM. The choice fell between this set and Aisin TKT-024. I took a chance because it was a bit cheaper. After seeing the product I returned it got the kit Aisin> I'm glad I did, definitely worth the extra money. Replacing a timing belt is a pretty serious job. For me it was basically a stuck crankshaft bolt. Otherwise it would be much faster. Before you begin, make sure you have the…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Factor Set

Buy only Genuine Toyota Parts

2001 Toyota Sienna. I always remember Gates parts as high quality, maybe I was wrong then, but not anymore. I bought and installed this water pump and timing pump kit 5 years ago thinking I could save some money, it's not worth it in the long run unless you plan on selling the car in a few years. I ended up having to replace the water pump when it failed completely, not a small leak but a big one. If you intend to keep your vehicle, use Toyota OEM parts as this is such a labor intensive job. My

Pros
  • Quick Change
Cons
  • Almost Never

Great price but installation is harder than expected.

Installed on a 1995 Camry XLE with a 1MZ-FE V-6 engine. This kit was complete and the parts were of good quality. The bearings are from an OEM supplier. The gasket with this kit was metal with a molded rubber gasket as shown; no fibrous pad as other reviewers have stated. If you want to do this installation yourself, you'll have to choose a method and purchase special tools (or new parts). The rear timing belt cover covers the water pump. To remove the pump you must either remove the back…

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Expensive
