Cambelt kit

What is a good named make for a replacement cambelt kit?

Aisin 😀

Okay thanks, can say that I've ever heard of that make before though 🤔

IMO its Gates and they are also OE fit for many brands.

Yep, Gates have a good reputation in general but the last Gates thermostat I bought was made in China and leaked like a sieve as the housing seal was too thin.

Aisin are the OEM parts, all Lexus auto transmissions are

Rockauto prices are pretty good even with shipping and VAT added.

I have this Gates belt on another car, apparently it's guaranteed for well over 100k, but the Aisin belt seems as good if not better, can't seem to find a kit for an is300 though..

The link I gave to Rockauto is for the IS300 kit.
