Is this legit?
Hey guys I came across this company on eBay and I was wondering if you think its worth it to buy their Timing Belt Kit?

Do u think its durable enough?

Personally, I would not trust it. If that failed - there goes the motor. Contact RussellM - he has a Timing Belt Kit with all OE parts.

Timing belt is probably the last thing you want to be cheap with. If you have to ask, don't get it.

I agree. I've had terrible experiences with Ebay parts... and Im a big time Ebayer. I make sure if I buy a part for my car tho that it's nothing discount cheap. Timing belt is nothing to mess with.

I would just get an oe belt and tensioner. Those pulleys IMO are more trouble then they are worth. Especially the eccentric one.If that loosens up and moves there goes all the tension on the belt. (speaking from experience)

Do Not go cheap on a timing belt, going cheap now can haunt you later on. I have seen guys penny pinch every part they can. Then when there car fails they wonder why, just get an OEM and be worry free.
