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.
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.
I used the Aisin kit. There was a thread on CL about how "the Aisin belt isn't the same standard, look the text on the original is still there but the new one rubbed off fast". Idk, I'd call BS on that, all the text on my belt was gone and it was serviced at a dealer.
Go with Gates, it’s the OEM and you won’t find anything better than that for those parts
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.
Got the Gates belt installed, but I haven't been able to run the car long enough to know if the noise is fixed. I did notice when transferring the timing belts from the Conti belt to the Gates belt that the Conti belt is a fraction of a mm thicker.
Gates kevlar and tracer belt is shiaatt.
Gates seems to have lost some quality in recent years.
