Question What timing belt kit would you recommend???

Im thinking about doing a timing belt job soon and I would like to know what timing belt kit would you recommend?

I see kits at Purems.com and ecstuning.com with different pricing and there probably many more.

What timing belt kit would you recommend?

I went with blauparts, I thought it had the most for the money, it included extras like water pump bolts (which i needed badly, the old ones were rusted), and cam and crank seals, ive only had it for 15 thousand miles or so but it seems to be working good for now.

RingerRacing.com has a very complete kit for a good price and I like giving them business as always.

Im stuck between blauparts and ecstuning.....
They both have similar parts in their kits


While studying and going over the DIY guides for changing the timing belts, they never mention anything about changing the camshaft and crankshaft seal.

Are those necessary to change and how would I go about changing them?

blauparts +1
I ordered my kit through them. i forget exactly which one it was but it ran me around 210?? and this came with everything. The coolant. And even instructions which were easy to follow. and my car has been running great since. A little over 8,000 mi. after the job.n oh also pretty quick shipping too
