    Yeah I’m not saying the was bad at all. There are some manufacturers making decent after market stuff, there is just a reason they cost less. Ie. Asin who makes a lot of oe water pumps make one for the dealer and one for out in the world of autozone, napas etc. the dealer one has to meet the manufacturer engineers specs and the Napa one doesn’t. Thus the cost difference. That’s all. Glad you have had zero issues.

    Well I know some of the parts in the kit I bought were Aisin and koyo, the belts had Toyota marked.

    I guess worse case scenario I have to do the job over again, but now I have the tools needed atleast.
