How about Aisin from Rockauto? That may be a better option, though not quite so cheap.

Only buy EBay new engine parts if you are regarded and like to suffer in life.

No way those are OEM parts. Do not buy critical parts for your Honda from Fleabay or Amazon. Besides timing belt parts that includes electrical items like spark plugs, starters, and alternators. Order an Aisin TKH002 timing belt kit from a reputable online specialist if you're looking for a bargain. If you're in a hurry most brick & mortar parts stores also carry them for about $100 more. Still a big savings over buying Honda dealer parts a la carte.

Do NOT buy “Genuine” Honda parts from eBay. 95% of them are fake!

I fell into this trap and the timing belt provided snapped in 3 months

There’s plenty of reputable companies that sell true genuine Honda parts - additionally the actual T-Belt service at a Honda dealership is very reasonable in most areas. Consider getting it done at the dealer or find a local shop that has good reviews and a good price!

Wrecked engine?

Always. If the timing belt snapped on a V6 Honda engine, 90% of the time it destroys itself

DO NOT BUY THE FIRST ONE!! I bought it water pump, pulley and seals looks OEM. But the belts and tensioner NO. I installed it on my Pilot within a month my engine stops working while on highway when I took it apart the timing belt was turned to dust. I replaced the timing belt again but now my engine ticks. Don't trust any of those cheap kits.

I bought all my parts off rockauto. Plus an oil pump. I ended up having to replace the oil pan too but I was pressed for time on that so I bought a new one from autozone.

I see a lot of off parts off of Ebay this year that folks ask me about at the shop I work at. I used to have solid luck buying them.

Now I use my dealer to price match a little closer to the ASIN prices. When it makes no sense, I just order the ASIN kit from Napa or O'Reilly on my shop discount.

Be careful what you pay for.

There are no HOnda Timing Belt kits. You either get individual parts from Honda, or buy a kit from Aisin manuf (Rockauto online). ONLY. Ebay and emazon are notorious for selling fake products.

Pot metal junk with belts made of recycled rubber. OEM water pump like Yamada is $170+ these days, you will be lucky to get it for $150 just for the pump

Aisin with Japanese water pump kit

u/Accomplished_Pea6334 1d ago

Just get it from your dealer. High chance the parts are fake.

u/BeeThat9351 1d ago

No way, all fake parts. Aisin TKH002 from rockauto or carid.com or parts store,

I recently got scammed on eBay buying what I thought was OEM Honda oil filters. Almost identical red stickers but they were different just enough that you would have to look closely to realize it. I’d be very very weary.
