Timing Belts

[BerettaMato]

I was looking at MonsterParts and they have belts for $79 ExactFit, not sure if they are kevlar. Are these any good or am I better off with $120 OEM? I cant find the OEM any cheaper. Any ideas?

Thank You

ExactFit belts are very good belts.

The exact fit belts will do you well. They are as good or better than the OEM ones, so fear not!

i have an EMS kit from 10 years back.  you can buy individual ones from a dealer.  if you have the measuring tools and a micrometer you just measure and can order the ones you need.  keep the old ones after measuring them.

I found it very helpful to purchase the closer measurement tool from Mike at EMS and then order my shims from him.

Thanks guys I think I will just order the measuring tools and order the ones I need for now.  "keep the old ones after measuring them" Can I use them later?

generally, they don't get pounded out so yes, you can reuse them.  sometimes you'll need to clean them up with brillo.

Thanks good to know.

What other special tools will I need for the job. I did order a torque wrench and have two full sets of craftsman metric sockets and wrenches of course.
