Timing belt OEM Toyota or Gates

Gates Timing belt

That's a gates timing belt which is a high quality aftermarket belt. It is not OEM and has been replaced. It looks like it was replaced at around 100k miles which is spot on.

Pros: high quality, good longevity
Vehicle: Honda Civic
Mileage: 100000 km

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

Was able to get the new belt installed with a little less tension but still less than 90* of flex. It till popped a tiny bit during crank rotation, but I decided to go with it, have driven it for about an hour or so, put it through a couple heat cycles all while checking it every 15 ish minutes. First couple times I checked it, it was kinda tight, last couple times I checked it, it felt ok, so idk.

Pros: less than 90* of flex
Cons: popped a tiny bit

My preference over the past 25 years is ALWAYS OEM/Genuine whenever possible:

BMW - Continental

Ford/Domestic - ACDelco, Continental

I have had repeated problems with GATES fitment, stiffness, and longevity. 7 of the last 10 snapped timing belts I've pulled from cars have been GATES.

Pros: OEM parts are preferred
Cons: fitment, stiffness, longevity
