Good After Market Timing components

I am looking to change timing belt on 99 XLS.

I know that Mitshuboshi is one of the the OEM Belt, which I can have it a lot less than the dealer price. What other brand belts quite trustworthy?

However, is there any recommended brand for timing components? What do you think of GMB? Toyota Dealer parts for idlers are $62, & $70 .

I am doing the 1st change after passing 150K miles. Nothing I see or hear says anything wrong. However, I intend to keep it for aleast another 8 yrs.

Web sites like Toyota of Dallas sell discount Toyota OEM parts.

http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...?siteid=214074

Or try www.rockauto.com for a selection of name brand parts.

Bando also made Toyota OEM belts.

Suggest searching the Camry forum site, the Avalon V6 is also used in the Camry with V6 option, the Camry sections get a lot more attention. There have been past posts on part brand selection.

You can get a Gates kit #TCK257 that includes a new timing belt, tensioner roller and idler for $86 from RockAuto. It's listed under timing belt component kit for your car.
