I own a 2006 Toyota Sequoia. Bought it brand new. We’ve had very little if any issues with it.
Yes. Those are the only brand kits I use for the most part (unless a customer wants factory).
Timing belts arnt as bad as people say. Just pay attention to detail. I’d just say, make sure you do all the tensioners and everything else that connects to it, there should be a full kit of all the parts.
My 94 ranger had 230k on it on the original belt. Looked about like this too, sold the truck in 2018, still had the original belt on it.
My rangers belt was identical to this when I bought it at 210
For Toyota, the Aisin timing belt kits are good. I've had one one on my Tacoma for a long time. Regardless, it is a quality product.
Make sure whatever you do, it's a genuine Aisin timing belt kit.
Pretty much all the newer Ford 4 and 3 cyl crap-box engines have what's called a wet belt for the timing. It's inside the engine as opposed to external like any sane normal or any moderately intelligent person would engineer.
Because of this, they require a VERY specific grade of oil, usually 0w-20 or 5w-20 full synthetic. If the wrong oil is used the belt will start to degrade and shred itself, this then starts plugging the oil pump pickup with rubber debris and starves the engine for oil. Or it just outright shreds and snaps, like yours did.
I just did the same job on my 2007 forester from the dealership, paid about the same amount, maybe a little more
I hate Ford Ecoboost with all of my soul. I drive a Focus Ecoboost with a fucking rubber timing belt running inside the oil, no way to check it but Ford says it should last 10 years or 240.000 km. Well.. mine lasted for 7 years and 117.000 km and with it slowly crumbling and destroying the engine.
