Default Timing Belt Kit

I am going to buy a timing belt kit for my '98 LS400. I've looked on eBay and other places and am curious where you buy yours and what do you include in it?

For something that critical, I stick with Lexus parts.

I'm definitely staying OEM. I'm just seeing what you include in your timing belt "kits".

I buy mine from ebay user metero1969, he sells kits that have OEM parts. They usually include TB, WP, Tensioner, Idler Pulley's, Crank & Cam Seals, Thermostat + Gasket, as well as drive belts.

iirc Aisin supplies the OEM timing belt and water pump, etc.. if you find a timing kit with Aisin parts, you should be good to go.
