Go with Gates, it’s the OEM and you won’t find anything better than that for those parts

I’ve got the gates 180, 5 years strong no issues
Thats a gates replacement,done at the required distance.,100k
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.
You could use a Gates timing belt, they're great quality.
Fitted new gates belt
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.
I had a gates kit on my Subaru and the water pump failed and leaked after less than 1000 miles.
The water pumps i’ve seen leak a few times on the v6 hondas.
Gates is crap. Bought their water pump and it failed less than a year and leaked the whole time.
