1994 3.0 water pump /timing belt
 

I need some info on a timing/water pump kit. I have checked all parts stores in my area and all they sell with em is a junk Duralast or similar water pump Its was highly recommended to purchase a kit with a Aisin Water pump . It seems I can only purchase this online, who is a trusted co to purchase this from. Also it seems all kits do not include a Hydraulic Tensioner or a adjuster its that true for all kits it must be purchased separately? I am NOT doing the job I will not screw around with some I know nothing about I just don't want to either order the wrong parts or junk Thanks for any advice

Everything you need cheap.
 

There is a great seller on eBay called The Parts Wizard that has all the parts in a kit for less than $100.

Is price the issue here?

I think not.

Quality. OEM quality. AISIN in particular.

So which reputable manufacturer made those parts?

There's a reason they're so cheap, and why it's not stated which brand they are.

I wouldn't buy from that guy in a million years...at any price. Not to mention the kit you provided the link to is for the wrong year. :ignore:

No need to be condescending, this is a friendly forum.

As far as the wrong year goes, yes that was a simple mistake, which I made. I'll own up to it. This is actually the link.

As for the brand of parts, they are made by DNJ Engine components, and when I put this same kit on I had and have had zero problems with it. Simply because a part isn't OE doesn't mean it's garbage.
