Timing belt kit AISIN or Gates

I have used the aisen kits for almost a decade. They are very good quality & manufactured with high quality Japanese parts . Yes , they are more expensive. Make no mistake , aisen kits are the best timing kits you can buy

Only use Aisin timing belt kits since they contain OEM high quality Japanese made parts.

It is true that is is best to use either factory parts or a "kit" by Aisin (available from Rock Auto) includes everything but the drive belt that does the alternator & A/C compressor. Aisin manufacturers parts for Honda & Toyota.

Bought a decently priced timing belt kit for my 03' accord coupe, think under $250 if I'm not mistaken was an aisin brand it's held up pretty good being that aisin is the oe manufacturer for the water pumps installed in these cars i felt pretty good putting this in. It's been about a year and no issues car runs strong and purrs like a kitten @283k miles

You'll be happy to know that Aisin is actually oem or as close as you can get it's a great kit.

Put an Aisin kit on it. Don't go with anything other than OEM or Aisin. Aisin makes the OEM kits for subies.

My understanding is Aisin is the best. It is all OEM parts.

Make sure oem. Non of the aftermarket crap. AISIN TKT021. Comes with tensioner.

2008 Honda Accord, 3.5L. Bought with 163k-ish miles and having no history, I probably ordered a timing belt kit. Gates usually treats everyone well, so I didn't hesitate and installed it. All new including water pump, idler, tensioner roller and hydraulic tensioner. Everything in-time perfectly and it ran for 2,000 miles without issue.

Fuck gates kits. They are junk. I’ve heard of this happening in several occasions along with the timing belt snapping on people with very low miles or simply from it being too cold out.
