I was on the highway when my timing belt let go, I managed to get to the shoulder and I have towed the car to a place I can work on it.

I am looking at this kit.

My question is has anyone used evergreen parts ?
since a honda water pump alone costs more then this entire kit I have to wonder.
I really really do not what to have to do this twice so that is why everything is getting replaced not just the belt.
if anyone has had any experience with evergreen parts I would appreciate your assessment.
if anyone can suggest a different kit or part manufacturers you have had good luck with again I would appreciate the input.
thank you.

 

I always suggest rockauto.com, and Gates belt.

 

Gates > Honda?

I always use majestic honda for stuff like this (my local stealership Rapes me for at least %40 of what I can get on majestic)

 

as far as I know, honda = Gates, when it comes to belts

 

Meh, it varies year by year. And model. And build location.
Gates is decent enough,though Id feel better with a Honda belt myself.

 

I would go with a Gates kit over the one selected. When I did a Gates kit for my 98 Civic it came with a Koyo tensioner which is a OEM supplier and very good quality.

 

x2 definetly. that amazon kit is way to cheap I wouldnt trust it at all. water pump alone should cost more then that kit. I try to go oem everything, gates is a great brand as well definetly dont buy that amazon junk, sometimes you get what you pay for, dont risk your motor those parts have to be terrible

 

i've got 40k hard-driven miles on an evergreen engine rebuild kit from Amazon. just for reference.
