Us motor works is pleased to announce our new line of timing kits with water pumps including all the parts needed to do the job right! OEM's recommend that timing belts should be replaced every 60,000 to 100,000 miles, they also recommend that all the components of the timing system should all be replaced at once. Replacing all the timing belt system components at the same time assures the entire system will operate and perform correctly and to the OEM specifications. The us motor works timing kit with water pump package allows you to replace all the components designed to work and fit together to the optimum conditions. The kits include new water pump (including gasket(s) and all accessories needed), timing belt(s), tensioner(s), idler(s), and hydraulic tensioner (when applicable).

One of the hardest, most frustrating, ultimately fulfilling pieces of physical work I've ever done, and this kit will help you
I don't exactly love MYSELF for deciding to replace the timing..area...of my Odyssey by myself, as it took me the better part of three and a half days (came home from work, started in on van, came to bed around 4am, got up at 7, lather rinse repeat), but to be fair to myself, I'd never done one before, I was using two guides that had different vehicles and different suggestions, and both of them @#$%#& cheated in their videos by loosening the crankshaft pulley bolt before filming, or else they edited out the eight hours and three ratchets they broke. The key here is patience and having the proper tools (if you're changing this stuff out on a Honda, there is a hex tool you have to use when breaking free the crank bolt. Unless you have a 1K foot-pound impact wrench, you will spend the longest time on a single fastener since the first time you tried to undo your girlfriends's bra, and she let you paw around for twenty minutes looking like an idiot before telling you it was a front-clasp. Once you have her bra...um, I mean you've got the crank pulley bolt off and you've pulled the harmonic balancer (having set the thing at TDC before all this, or else doing that NOW), everything is pretty straightforward...oh hell, it is frustrating the first time. Check all three shafts for TDC anytime you so much as touch one. They all (crank, and both camshafts) really MUST stay at TDC during this entire repair. The kit had everything listed, everything went on as expected, I eventually got it all back together, and it's now got a couple thousand miles on it with not a bit of a problem. By the way, if you are going to break this far into the front of your engine, DO go ahead and replace everything replaceable in there. Don't say "well, its just the tensioner that's bad, so I'll just replace that". Spend the extra bucks, swap out the pulleys, the belt, and the water pump. Clean the ones you removed and save them. You now have spares. Anyway, kit works, once you know what you are doing and you have appropriate tools and safety equipment (if you don't have ramps and/or jack stands with a jack to spare, just don't start this), it's not as long a job as it took me this first time, and you will save at least $700 bucks over letting a shop do it. Just do your homework first, remember that everything -- EVERYthing-- stays at top dead center for the entire repair, be methodical, make sure the new timing belt is tight across the top (across the camshafts) and snugged up everywhere else, and no leftover pieces when you're done. Congrats -- you've just done a repair that very, very few home mechanics can do correctly. (IMPORTANT: if you needed to do this repair because your timing belt DID break, check to see if your vehicle is one of the (many) vehicles that has an "interference" engine. If so, I hate to tell you this, but it's very likely that the broken belt also caused extensive valve, piston, rod, or seal damage and you should probably, at bare minimum, have a very gifted mechanic check your cylinder pressures before embarking on this quest. Lots of work to do, only to find that your engine was destroyed before you even started. This is the second engine my van's had. The first one, the van's belt didn't even break. Just skipped two teeth. Two, out of like a thousand. Car stalled. I restarted it and blew out half my cylinders and bent nearly every exhaust valve or pushrod. No rebuild there -- $4500 for a new engine. No clue it had broken, the engine just stalled. When I restarted it, in two seconds I'd done the damage. Lesson? Either pay to have someone put one of these here kits in every 75K miles or so (and have your timing belt's wear checked every 10K miles) or put it in yourself. But don't neglect the timing belt. This kit is complete, affordable, and may save your car's life.

This is an advanced DIY job.
Just finished installing this kit on a ‘06 ridgeline. Great price. Quality is good. Not quite OEM, but decent. Longevity is yet to be determined. If you’re changing a belt on a 3.5 beware of the cam on your left if you’re looking at the belt end of the engine. It will want to spin on you 90° turn with just the slightest movement.
