Timing Chain KIt
Timing Chain KIt
So I am getting ready to finish my rebuild and was wondering if anyone has used this timing chain kit
http://mizumoauto.com/product/view/id/562
It looks like an ebay type kit and I wanted to know if something like this would be reliable. I am going for reliable and am willing to spend the extra $$$ if the OEM or another brand kit is reliable. The reason I am replacing the timing chain and gears is because the DE I bought was blown and I found out that it was due to the exhaust cam snapping just behind the timing gear (after taking it apart).
I bought a set of stock cams from someone and they came with the gears attached and was wondering if I could reuse these or I should buy the entire kit.
Thanks for the help.

Awesome, thanks for the response. Would there be any reason that my idler sporcket couldn't be reused since the exhaust cam was broken?

Dude... u just said "ebay kit" and "reliable" in the same sentence...
I hate to sound like a smart-ass, but come-on man?
save up and get the oem... the guides are really the most important things to get imo.
unless of course u had a major failure with a sprocket or something...

i can't say anything about the quality of the aftermarket chain kits. but if it's anything like aftermarket thermostat's, distributor rotors, caps, plug wires, and throw out bearings, you're better off just getting the oem parts. and if the idler sprocket gave you a problem, to me that would be a blazing red flag. "um, maybe i shouldn't be using this." lol

i think you mean the tensioners. the upper guides are obsolete.Just_Wanna_Drive wrote: the guides are really the most important things to get imo.

Sry, I was talking about the lower guides... The updated design OEM ones are a **** ton more beefy than the cheap ones I looked at b4 I bought the OEM ones... I had 145k miles on my oem chains and it had no signs of wear on them, so I reused them...fos240 wrote:i think you mean the tensioners. the upper guides are obsolete.Just_Wanna_Drive wrote: the guides are really the most important things to get imo.

I bought oem guides and tensioners and called it a day...
do what u want, and good luck with the cheap stuff if u go that route... I know for me, I've put way too much time, $$, and effort in gambling on chineez crap for the internals of my motor...

2 stupid question....
1. what is so bad about the ebay or autozone timing kits? what specificaly is bad about them?
2. when i buy my new timing chain, do the sprockets and tentioner have to be replaced? what would be bad about reusing the stock sprockets and tentioner and just getting a new chain? because my cusin just bought a new chain and said he disassembled and cleaned the tentioners and reused the sprockets. and he has over 20,000 miles at 12 psi with that setup but its only beed 3 months(he drives all over the U.S. for work. we went from AZ to KY to IL and back to FL in just 5 weeks recently)

i made decent power on an ebay kit no problems at all. car made 412hp on it. some of you people talk alot of shi-t on ebay stuff but i guarantee none of you used it. there should be a rule on here, dont talk **** on parts unless you have first hand experience of it breaking on you. just like ebay turbos, if your not looking to make serious power and a decent dd the fuc-k ebay ftw. a cx-racing turbo has outlasted a 16g that was freshly rebuilt on my friends talon. so unless you use the stuff, dont talk about it.
