Timing belt OEM Toyota or AISIN

AISIN Timing belt

I used the Aisin kit. There was a thread on CL about how "the Aisin belt isn't the same standard, look the text on the original is still there but the new one rubbed off fast". Idk, I'd call BS on that, all the text on my belt was gone and it was serviced at a dealer.

Pros: quality comparable to OEM
Vehicle: Lexus

I was in a similar situation on my LS430. I saw the sticker under the hood that was done 130k miles prior to the current mileage. The belt was perfectly fine and had most likely been replaced since. If it’s a genuine Aisin/Toyota belt it’s probably still good. I’ve seen these go far and beyond 10yr/100k mile mark

Pros: perfectly fine, long lasting
Vehicle: Lexus
Mileage: 209214 km

Aisin is the one you want. Full stop.

I just did a timing belt / water pump kit on my bugeye. All the components you get with it are exactly what you’d get if you went to the dealership (even down to the little component boxes albeit with a different logo stamped on it), except for maybe the pump itself. Aisin was one of the OE water pump manufacturers, and they have a long history in Japanese car parts and motor sports. The instructions that come with the kit make it super easy, too.

Pros: easy instructions, OE components

I'd definitely want to at least peak at the timing belt for its condition / date stamp. Aisin kit with water pump and OEM Subaru thermostat is what you want.
