So I'm due for my timing belt and was told to get the ecs kit, has anyone else gone with this kit? Is it worth getting? Also the ultimate kit that they offer seems to be thorough, but I know i need to change the crank&cam seals as well as the bolt, which isn't included in the kit, but isn't a big deal because i work at an autoparts store. Is there anything else i would need that the ecs ulitmate kit doesnt have besides what i mentioned? Thanks to anyone in advance for any advice. I'm trying to have it done by this weekend

 

Get the kit from FCPGroton.com - quality stuff that a lot of us use. You need a cam lock bar for changing those seals. There is a seal puller tool available. Get a crank locking pin, can bar, and seal puller on eBay and get the timing kit from FCP and you're not only in business, you're also under the price of ECS's kit.

 

Thanks Im gonna see if I can get that today, I'm glad its better quality, that was one of my concerns.

 

ECS is quality, no worries there, it's just priced a lot higher.

 

This is good to know. Didnt know ebay sold the tools. I refrained from buying things from ECS. Even their LED bulbs, which I resorted to buying it from ebay.

 

Word. i ordered my entire kit from FCPGroton. awesome stuff. i also bought all the necessary tools from them as well to save time.. look into the the cam chain tensioner seals and half moons while youre in there. probably the biggest bang for your buck when it comes to maintenance. It was for me anyway.

on a side note, consider the special tool for removing the fan clutch. its expensive, but i didnt have it, and i dont have a compressor for any of my air tools so i had to do it cave-man style. and it sucked.

 

I'll have to get all the special tools but I was able to order most of the stuff from work, all high quality and its gonna run me like 150. thanks for the info though, i was just gonna do it without the special tools
