Rating 5.0

It was a 10 piece kit and ended up being about $195 after tax and took about 3-4 days for shipping from Japan. It was one the most common kits you see with the Mitsuboshi timing belt. No complaints, worked out great, good price for the amount of parts it contains, and everything seems to be quality Japanese aftermarket parts.

Pros: good price, quality parts
Vehicle: Honda Acty

Just replaced the timing belt on a 25 year old Sienna with 150k miles. Almost pristine. No cracks, very little wear. I was surprised.

Pros: almost pristine, little wear

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

I used to always go with OEM Honda parts for timing belt and water pump jobs. But the price of the OEM parts have gotten so high that I went with [this kit] on Amazon for my last TB job on my GSR, in late 2018. Mistuboshi timing belt, NPW water pump, GMB tensioner pulley. Those are all Japanese OEM parts suppliers, so I was comfortable using them. Almost 20k miles on thost parts now and everything is working great.

Pros: working great
Vehicle: Acura Integra
Mileage: 20000 km

I bought a Mitsoboshi (not misspelled) from autohauz az a bit ago and it had a more round, but not completely half moon round, tooth profile than I've seen before on Contitech timing belts.

Pros: good rep, big company
Cons: round tooth profile

The cheapest I found to replace the timing belt back then was nearly $1000, and it was due at 60k miles, not 100k like other brands.

Cons: expensive replacement, short service interval
Vehicle: Mitsubishi Galant
Mileage: 96560 km
