This timing belt kit fits perfectly and is an OEM timing belt kit for Toyota. I installed this kit on a 2000 Toyota Camry V6 XLE. It was my first order and everything went perfectly. Here are some tips for those who want to install this timing belt kit themselves. Install the belt toward the rear camshaft first. Make sure the line on the belt and the line on the marked camshaft tooth match. Place the clip on the belt so that it does not slip or loosen. Then use a 17mm wrench or socket to move the front camshaft one tooth in front of the TDC mark (turn counterclockwise) which is on the back of the timing case cover (it's just a line on the cover up). The line on the belt should line up with the marked tooth on the front camshaft pulley/gear. Attach another clip to hold the strap in place. Then advance the front camshaft sprocket one tooth (turn clockwise) and bring the front camshaft sprocket back to TDC. This process will help slacken the belt as the belt is installed toward the lower crankshaft pulley. Then, using a 22mm wrench, move the crankshaft sprocket one tooth before top dead center (turn the crankshaft counter-clockwise one tooth) as marked on the cylinder block. Also, the dotted line on the underside of the belt must line up exactly with the dot on the sprocket side of the crankshaft. To hold the belt in place, install the timing belt guide (supplied with a 10mm bolt that mounts to the right hand side of the crankshaft sprocket/gear. You can also use a bolt or socket wrench to tighten the to hold straps in place). Finally, use a 22mm socket wrench to move the crankshaft sprocket back to top dead center with the belt in place (move the crankshaft one tooth clockwise). The mark/dot on top of the crankshaft sprocket should now line up with the mark on the cylinder block. You can then wrap the belt around the idler pulley and see if all the TDC marks line up perfectly, which it should be if done correctly. To be sure, after installing the tensioner, rotate the crankshaft 2 full turns (clockwise) and ensure all timing marks (2 on the camshafts and 1 on the crankshaft) are perfectly aligned. If so, then you installed the timing belt correctly.
