Gates has always made great belts and when I saw that they had a complete kit to redo the timing belt, water pump and related components on my 3.5 Honda, it looked like a good deal. My issue now that I've examined the parts is that the hydraulic tensioner is Made in China and the water pump likely is too (no COO). Are they long haul reliable or not? Judging from the online reviews, I concluded I'd be better off staying away. While Gates offers a good guarantee, it does not cover the high labor cost to access the parts once installed. My mechanic agrees with my call and said he uses only OEM parts on this job. Bought Aisen brand to replace the pump and tensioner and just chalked it up to experience, figuring it's better to be safe than sorry. It was a tough decision all the same because Gates is a good US company. Read full review

Exact fit for all parts in the kit. Pulleys are same brand as what Honda installed when car was built. Hydraulic tensioner and water pump with gasket are included in the kit. Belt is premium grade. Just bolt on & go!! Very important to verify the application before ordering, then you will be ok.

I have changed out 4 timing belts on the Honda accord v-6 in the past year. Have used this Gates kit each time and have had no problems. Would highly recommend using a kit instead of changing out one piece at a time due to the amount of labor involved. Everything is included to complete the task except the knowledge and tools that will be required. I would also recommend that you change out the serpentine belt at the same time and you will be ready to roll for another hundred thousand! Steve VA
