Hi 6gc members. So my car is at 190K miles and I bought it around 170K miles. I will need to drive it about 1000 miles round trip at least once a month (Sacramento to San Diego). I am unsure when the owner have changed the timing belt, so I plan on doing that now. I plan using a AISIN kit from Rock Auto and was wondering what should I change while I'm at it? Would this be a good kit? I plan on keeping this car as long as I can. I know there are already some forums out there, but I would like some more assistance. I have read on some forums say that I should do the oil pump and oil pump seal. Then some other forums saying I should only do the seal. What do you guys think? Are there any other seals that I should change to prevent oil leaks? The car seems to leak a little oil but I am unsure where its coming from. The leak is so small that there isnt even any oil spots on my driveway, but there is just like a tiny drop ready fall on the oil pain. Any help is appreciated, Thank you.
AISIN kit includes the following components: AISIN Water Pump Koyo Idler Bearing Koyo Tensioner Bearing Mitsuboshi Timing Belt Water Pump Gaskets & O-Rings |

Aisin is THE oem manufacturer for most parts on these cars...If my oil pump wasn't mounted to the block I would show you the really stupid reasons why they don't sell them as Toyota units. They don't pass quality control because of cosmetic imperfections and blemishes.
Koyo manufactures stock idler and tensioner pulleys and Mitsuboshi manufactures the Toyota timing belt...Nothing bad about them. -------------------- 1993 Celica GT Coupe - sold
