This product is great if you only need it for the idler pulleys and tensioner. This many idlers and the tensioner for that price is a great deal. THE BELT however is a different story. it comes packed tightly in the box and crimped almost flat.This is an absolute no no. These belts with a Kevlar back bone must never be bent tighter than the smallest idler pulley on the engine, about a 2 1/2" diameter. This belt was almost folded flat. Don't risk putting it on your engine because these suby engines will bend the valves if the T-belt breaks. It's not worth trying it. Summary: idler pulleys good, belt ruined by packaging.

It has no timing marks on the belt, and it is an incredibly tight fit.

Timing belt doesn’t have timing marks. How is a belt that’s specific function is to keep the pistons and valves timed properly not have an essential component to timing? That makes the belt pretty worthless. Also has no crankshaft guard spacing tool. I’d pay more for these simple yet time saving(guard) and crucial (timing marks) things.

Its a ok value for the moneyThe belt is not marked so you'll have to do some counting and make your own line up marks, the tensioner is a little slow when its real cold outside and WILL CAUSE A KNOCKING SOUND. I ordered a "replacement that was sent in a very timely manner. "The tensioner had the same issue. However i have put 2500 miles on it without any problems the belt is solid no stretch and any new belt noise clears up after a few drives.

Garbage spend the money and go gates! Doesn’t even have timing marks, and one of the idlers was seized!

Didn’t fit my car the belt was to small and couldn’t get all the pulleys aligned. Very disciplined. I need a refund.

Very very cheap bearings used. No water pump. Don't waste your money, buy Gates if you can afford it.

The timing belt tensioner failed right out of the box which cost me time and even more money. I have purchased this before and had good luck, but I can not afford even one failed part. Will use Gates timing belt kit next time.
