These parts any good?

Need to replace the timing belt in my CRV soon, so naturally I have been spending a good amount of time researching parts for the job.

Found this kit on Amazon that apparently has all the parts I need for the job at an amazing price. Now the question is, will they be amazing parts?

Based on the description it seems to include all the high-quality brands like Bando belts and even some JDM parts. It just seems to good to be true, because based on my research buying all those parts individually cost a bit more than the 140-ish price tag.

Here is the link:

Amazon.com: TBK Timing Belt Kit Honda CRV 1997 to 2001: Automotive

Also here is the product description:

Hmm that's not a bad deal to get all OEM parts for a few bucks more. Gonna check the Honda eStore and see what want for all OEM parts. I still might try the Amazon one due to the fact that the seller (TBK) has a good rating, and all their other kits for Civics and such have good reviews.

That's a good deal for all Honda parts.

On a side note, I have used the $60-70 no name eBay kits tons of times and never had an issue.

Going for the Ebay OEM

After looking around a bit more, probably going for that Ebay OEM kit. It is a bit more expensive and doesn't include the accessory belts, but I would rather have a no name alternator belt break then a timing belt on a DOHC engine
