I need to change my timing belt + water pump + heat sensor and there's a little bit of oil leaking from the head gasket... So i thought that intstead of buying a $50+ Timing belt, a water pump, a $25 heat sensor and so one i could, instead, buy this... It seems that every parts are OEM or match OEM standards.... plus i'd get the pistons for free... Anyone knows if this kit reliable?

Some of the off-brand stuff like this can actually be pretty good. I used a timing chain kit like this on my 22re truck and had my doubts for the price but everything came together perfectly. Just be careful with the quality of some of the parts.

Do not buy it if you plan on boosting. A $300 rebuild kit says it all. This post has been edited by jcaron9gt4: Mar 12, 2009 - 7:20 PM --------------------  |
