Best/Correct timing belt kit from Amazon?

[WallyWest]

I see a TON of options, not sure which one is the best.

Maybe this one? But I don't need the accessory belts, they were just replaced.

Or perhaps this one and buy the T-stat separately?

My 4Runner is a 2002 sport edition SR5. 160k miles. The water pump isn't leaking, and the belt still looks ok, but I've got a nice squeal I think is the tensioner pulley on startup, been getting worse. The belt and everything connected have never been changed.

I'd like to buy from Amazon because I have a $50 gift card to use. But if I can save nearly that much with a better kit from the ebay sellers people talk about that's fine too.

Thx.

I'd go with the cheaper of the two since you don't need the other belts. It looks like they're both Aisin and Mitsiboshi parts, which is the important part.

What he said.

I think the only other things missing are cam and crank seals, which I ONLY replace if they are leaking. I'm sure I'll hear how thats wrong, skimping, etc. etc. But in 17 years of wrenching for a living, and doing ALOT of Tbelt jobs on ALOT of different kinds of vehicles, I've rarely seen them leak. I've never seen a time estimate in Mitchell or Alldata that made changing cam or crank seals worth it unless necessary. Of course that is different than obsessing over your own pride and joy, and doing the job in your spare time in your garage or driveway.

On the other hand, I always prefer to have the parts on hand in case I need them if time is important. I would probably verify my semi-local Toyota dealership had the seals in stock in case I needed them. Otherwise I'd order them return them if not needed.
