I'm sold on the Gates Racing kevlar belts, seems like cheap insurance for $30-40 extra.
Pros: cheap insurance
Cons: extra cost
Part of the reason I run a Gates racing belt with the manual tensioner (dynamics of the belt). I'm a good 30K miles deep with this set up and the belt hasn't needed a single adjustment. I trust it just fine.
Pros: no adjustment needed
Mileage: 48280 km
Mine goes naked, too. I got the fancy replacement kit from a vendor that supplied a pretty blue Gates belt. After I got it all together and running for a while I read of the horrors of Gates belts and the carnage that comes with failure. So, it goes naked and gets a look over each time the hood is open. That my reasoning.
Pros: easy to inspect
Cons: potential belt failure
But do NOT use gates water pumps, they are junk.
Cons: poor quality, junk
A gates timing belt kit for a Honda will have OE parts as Gates is a OE supplier for Honda. Except for the water pump./ Gates water pump are garbage so NEVER use a gates water pump if its driven by the timing belt.
Pros: OE supplier for Honda
Cons: water pump are garbage
Vehicle:
Honda
Gates is not a decent brand when it comes to most water pumps. Their belts are great, but their pumps I do not use for most cars.
Cons: not a decent brand
