Good choice won’t have an issue with it.
That looks like the one I put on mine. you’re always safest going with the oem part (aisin in this case) especially for a kit of this kind.
The belt in the Asin full kit (pulleys, water pump & belt) I installed on my 2000 ej205 earlier this year lined up perfectly.
Get an AISIN timing belt kit with water pump. Uses OE parts. Don’t use gates, dayco, and esp not no name timing belt kits.
Be sure to buy an Aisin timing belt and water pump kit. If it has an automatic transmission, replace the radiator as well or add an external transmission cooler.
2010 Ridgeline, so same engine/platform as the Pilot.. Just changed the timing belt at 160k miles for the first time. The belt felt totally fine, almost brand new. The tensioner looked like it had a little fluid leaking but looked fine. The tensioner pulley had a little play.
I had the belt service done on my 2015 last year at a shop in my area and it was about $900 parts & labor using Aisin brand belt & accessories as I specified. Consensus on the Pilot owners' forum is to use either Honda OEM or Aisin brand parts only.
I just had my timing belt and water pump replaced as well, but I bought the Aisin kit myself off of Rockauto.com for around $270.
Super cheap minus the expensive timing belt job at 105k miles.
I had a customer who brought in a car with seemingly “authentic Honda” parts that failed prematurely. Lo and behold it was a counterfeit timing belt kit and the belt snapped sending everything else to shit.
