Timing Belt Kits on amazon & ebay, are they any good?
Hi there,

I've made a few post on here and you guys have a lot of good quality information, so I'm seeking some advice on my timing belt. I have been putting off replacing my timing belt and I've seen a few kits on Amazon and ebay with everything needed to replace the timing belt, pullleys and belts. I was wondering if anyone has purchased either of these kits and if they are of good quality. I'm at 167k miles and I purchased my T4R at 122k and as far as I know the last time the timing belt was replaced was at 90k. I copied the links of the two kits below so if any input is available it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Got the kit as well. Did you guys install the new crank seals? Mine also came with cam seals and I have been wondering if I should replace them if they're not leaking

I got the one from amazon for about $300...everything was there and fit just fine, although not all the parts were factory. I thought it said all parts were direct factory replacements but the water was definitely not toyota (or aisin), the belt tensioner was a toyota piece though. Don't think the idler pulleys were either...

The kit didn't come with one but the FSM recommends replacing the crank bolt. I picked one up from dealer for ~$10.
