Question 300.00 good for a timing belt kit
Is this a good timing belt kit? for 300.00 there is one on parts geek for 200.00 but I have heard
horrible things about them.

Im not sure but all these suppliers listed in the kit seem to be Toyota suppliers

Did this kit include the main crank seal? That's the main reason I'm doing the timing belt a Toyota tech suggested it since he noticed it was leaking

No it doesnt. You will want to pick one of those up. Part # 90311-A0001
Usually only about $5 from a toyota dealer

there are many sources including several on ebay to get the Aisin TKT-030 kit down close to $200 - no seals are included
