1991 LS400 timing belt kit advise, please
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I could use your advise on which timing belt kit to purchase.
Rockauto lists the following brands/products for my car but I'm unfortunately unable to tell which brands are considered to be of OEM quality - which would be something I would prefer. My plan is to change the water pump too while we are in there.
Could you please recommend a kit for me:

Aisin TKT-030 & TKT-010 are the only ones that have all real Toyota parts, and the TKT-030 is the one I recommend.
It is the very last one in your pic!
PS - this part may be cheaper on U.S. ebay, especially after shipping is included

the difference between TKT-010 and TKT-030 is the inclusion of the factory hydraulic tensioner, a very critical part if your LS is an interference model ('95 and and newer)
but if money is tight and since you have a '91, you would be OK with the TKT-010 as well
I guess the mileage would also have an impact on which one I would choose, if you have over 300,000 km, then get the TKT-030 for sure!

I have a bad habit of changing everything related when working on a car so the tensioner will be changed as well. Car has 193 000 kilometers.
At the same time I will put in new Denso plug wire kit and plugs, OEM distributor caps and rotors and probably the temperature sensor as well.
Any idea if the crankshaft front seal would be handy to change while everything is already apart?

I feel like the blue NGK plug wire set is every bit as good as the Denso, so I would probably go with the lower cost one, or decide based on my tastes on the color! (blue vs. black)

Well, we changed the Aisin TKT-030 package, distributor caps and rotors and engine coolant temperature sensor today. I took us 12 loooong hours but we did not manage to break anything or loose any parts. None left over either.
Was so long day that we decided to change the Denso leads and plugs later but despite of that the engine is now silky smooth. Which is nice.
