I used the aisin kit on my 07. Got it from summit at the time. No issues.
I just did my ej205 with a gates kit and all bearings were NSK/koyo/NTN and matched the originals that came out.
I replaced mine about a month ago and went with a Aisin kit after extensive research, seems like the best option now a days
I’m running the gates kit with zero issues
I got the Asin kit for mine. Came with everything and seemed pretty good quality.
For the Montero, you’ll definitely want to purchase OEM replacements where possible. Lots of failures have been reported from people purchasing aftermarket replacement parts. For timing belt job you DEFINITELY need to to go OEM or AISIN kit only.
I bought the AISKIN TKT021 from Rockauto in 2016, 50k miles ago. It include everything including bearings and has been fine.
Aisin makes a great kit, used to be the oem supplier for Honda from what I’ve heard. Plus you can get them from rock auto.
For the whole kit, Aisin or OE, nothing else.
I’ve worked in the aftermarket for 10 years now and you can’t go wrong with Gates. Gates is the one really.
