Has anyone used this timing belt kit from Amazon?

It looks very complete. AISIN water pump - great OEM

Bando belts - good belts?

GMB idler bearings - Good, bad?

.

 

i spent about that much doing mine. i got my parts from napa and they were koyo bearings, toyota tensioner, and a gates belt. not sure about the water pump.
never heard of bando, perhaps someone else will chime in.

 

Iirc bando is the oem belt manufacturer.

 

Potomac,

If you are shooting for 400,000 miles, I'd use this one instead.

Some folks on T4R, who have used this kit, have said that the seller sends a Koyo idler bearing, which is small than the OEM, which is made by NSK. But they said that after calling, they got the NSK for their install. You may want to email or call them prior to purchase.

Bando, excellent belts. GMB, I know someone who had a waterpump made by them go south after 10,000 miles. Otherwise, I have heard they are a good product producing company. Mitsiboshi is the OEM belt maker BTW.

Post some pics if this is a DIY project. Good luck.

 

I just bought the ebay one and put it on. Seems ok. Doesn't come with radiator hoses though and I thought I saw a kit that did. I bought it becase a different thread said it was the one to get.

 

I just installed that ebay kit on my 96 and i thought it was a great deal. Cheaper then i could have bought the parts from toyota and i get employee pricing and tax exemption when i buy parts from them. This replaces everything on the front of the motor and id recommend it to anyone.
