Timing belt kit from Amazon?
Hey guys! doing my Timing belt for the time in a couple weeks. My 98 gs4 has 173k on it with original everything(it still drives like a champ), been shopping around for the cheapest deal and came across this kit on Amazon http://goo.gl/HPIBeN . It says
OEM parts but I wanna confirm it before diving into it. Thermostat is not included so I have to purchase it separately.

SEARCH MAN yes Aisin manufactures Toyota OEM parts, so yes OEM without the mark up.

I only asked because the kit from Rock Auto has the Aisin water pump but Mitsuboshi timing belt and Koyo idler bearing and tensioner bearing. I was wondering if anyone knew that the Sewell kit was the same. BUT... I read in a review thread here that the rock auto kit works fine and a hell of a lot cheaper.

I do about 5 timing belts a year, mostly on UZ motors and a few 2j's.
The AISIN kits from Rockauto are what I use.
And yes it does include a service sticker.
Early on I questioned the Mitsubishi Tbelt and realized it is OEM.
