Ebay - 5SFE Timing Belt Kit - Thoughts??

[iinh3]

I'm considering buying this timing belt kit on Ebay.

5SFE TB Kit

Does anyone have any thoughts on the quality of these components? The seller has a perfect feedback history, so they must be doing something right.

It doesnt say the brand names so its a crap shoot.

However, go on RockAuto and you'll find all the quality parts you need at the same or cheaper price. Stick to Fel Pro, Aisin, and Goodyear/Dayco.

Thats a pretty complete kit though, all you would need in addition is some black permatex sealant.

This is for a 3SFE and not a 5SFE.

I don't know how if you should believe them cause they list 3 different brands for the belt...etc

Stay away from made in China crap. Brand names are a good option. I recommend genuine Toyota parts since timing belt replacement is labor intensive. You don't want to have to revisit the timing belt until is due for its scheduled replacment.

there are better (OEM) kits out there on ebay or Aisin timing kit on rockauto.com

I would stay away from seller mentioning always 3-4 vendors on each item and really no guarantee you get the OEM ones (only mentioned among others) while you can get some cheap shit instead.
