What brand is the OEM timing belt on a B16A2? I have two options, the Goodyear is roughly $20 less than the other, so of course wouldn't mind going with the less expensive of the two. Do you think buying the Goodyear belt would be OK?

Timing Belt
A5000-64254
In Stock Japan $59.62 55.96

Timing Belt
A5000-64254
In Stock Goodyear $59.62 $35.10

 

The last time I checked, the OEM belt is cheaper online than the aftermarket belts are local.

 

Yeah, I found these prices on http://www.overnightautoparts.com. $35 for a timing belt seems reasonable. Thoughts on a Goodyear brand belt? Or should I go with the "Japan" brand for $56?

 

I bought a timing belt for a '99 Civic SI from Hparts.com for $41.56. {OEM}

 

The Goodyear brand would be ok to use. As for quality and performance an Oem belt would be the better choice and worth an extra $20 after all it was designed for your ride.

 

just buy an oem belt to have some peace of mind
