Timing belt Gates or Mitsuboshi

Gates are reckoned to be the best.

Inside of the engine was super clean Gates racing belt, I figure the extra couple bucks is worth it.

Thanks for all of the replies everybody big help love the community I was able to source the parts I needed today timing belt,water pump, tensioner, and pink antifreeze there was green in my car so I flushed it out before I started to do the timing job, which btw took me 7 hours mannnn I’ve never done one of these before and looking at the DIY and YouTube helped a lot but it’s all done and can make it to work tomorrow. If I was off would have started this tomorrow morning I had no choice but to start today at 2:30. Took her for a drive sound was gone car feels great. Again thank you all!

Get a Gates belt. They are the best and timing belt is no place to cheap out.

Gates is the only aftermarket brand I'd trust; certainly don't go store-brand (autozone, etc).

The pump and belt are good. All else in the kit is chinese parts. Been working fine for a year plus for me. I upgraded to the race belt for extra longevity.

I just completed this on my '13 a few weeks back at 68,000. Belt was still in good condition but as others noted, thats not the only point of failure and my roller bearings had some excessive play so I am glad I did it given the risk of letting it go.

I'm going to swap the Conti belt I installed for a Gates (OEM on this car). I'll let you know how it goes.

He had installed an OEM manufacturer Mitsuboshi timing belt, and it snapped. Apparently it was a knock off. He reinstalled the old belt. I disconnected the injector to the cylinder with a bent valve, and drove it 200 miles home, on 5 cylinders. It actually ran better when I plugged the injector back in, When I got home.

I had that one but it never quieted down and I ended up switching to a normal belt.
