The AISIN kit is the same water pump and tensioner as the OEM equivalent with out the Honda stamped on it. I personally would still get the OEM timing and Drive belt though.
I’ve changed two water pumps with Aisin brand WP’s from EBay … about 120$ each … and I’ve done fine so far, logged over 100K on them first and then so,d the car. it’s still going strong. the second is going strong in my current car.
I still prefer the Aisin water pumps over the new current Yamada made water pumps. Better fit and finish, fewer leaks/defects (lot of the Yamada pumps are bowed right out of the box), and Aisin breaks the edges whereas the Yamadas are almost cut your hands up levels of sharp
Replaced with an Aisin and no complaints
I got this kit and it’s working good, all that matters is the water pump is aisin
Mine does that after replacing all timing components with Aisin kit (replaced it myself). And it’s a known thing that Aisin water pumps make “warbling” sound. I’m assuming that’s what you’re hearing
Replaced with Asin, failed in 7k miles. The propeller disintegrated on the second one.
I have Gates start leaking within 10k of installation.
I also had the Gates pump leak within 6 months. The input shaft seal was leaking. Gates used to be a great brand but these pumps are garbage.
I’ve gone through about 3 water pumps all within 10-30k kilometres and each time it’s something leaking other than the gaskets. Either the freeze plug starts to leak or the actual water pump does. Luckily i bought it through napa and they’ve been giving me new ones under warranty but the job takes about 4 hours and each time i have to buy new coolant which is starting to get expensive. The cheapest OEM pump i’ve found from mopar was 1000cad which in itself is crazy because the napa/gates are about $170
