I'm looking for a timing belt tensioner, and my local auto store has on with the same part number in stock. I need to get done with my timing service and can't wait another week for the part to come in, I'm leaving town very soon and I'd like to get it done by then. The only issue is that the brand of the timing belt auto tensioner is "Dayco". I obviously know oem would be better, but do you think I could get by by using this part? Or would it be unwise?

I buy all my timing parts from RockAuto. Most of those parts are OEM suppliers. Dayco is probably one of them.

I bought a Dayco timing belt kit for my Subaru. The belt was too small, the water pump fit okay and one of the idlers was single bearing instead of two, causing the mounting bolt to bottom out. The tensioner in the kit was also okay. So, that kit was hit and miss.

I can imagine a their belts are fine but any timing parts I would be weary about
