Thinking about doing the timing belt on my car. It's nearly due after 4 years / 81k, might as well tackle it while it's still parked. It's rated for 90k.
Was thinking about a
TBK kit so as to get the Aisin water pump, but I'm not sure if NPW makes ok water pumps? I found a similar kit that seems ok on
eBay; while I'm tempted to go with the TBK as that is what I used last time, if NPW is good enough... then I could save a few bucks. It's $190 vs $125 or so. [The really cheap kits are under $50!]
For the record it's for a 5S-FE which is *not* an interference engine. Both kits use a Mitsuboshi belt. Only looking to get a few more years out of this car, had half a mind to trade out of this car *before* doing this job again, but the used car market is nuts right now.
