LD111 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I see bits and pieces on other posts but can't find exactly what I need. I had my cylinder heads rebuild at the machine shop. I need a timing kit (looks like gates is the consensus here), rings and bearings, head gaskets (I can get wholesale price on Fel-pro at Napa), and a complete engine gasket set. The machine shop is quoting $600.00 and it's mostly JDM parts. There are so many cheap sets on Ebay that I don't know where to buy. Are Cometic any good. I have read yes and no. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I am looking for stock performance with good reliability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster2 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I bought my T belt kit on ebay several years back. I have had no issues with the T belt, water pump, idlers, and seals. I have never read on this forum of anyone complaining about the quality of ebay sourced T belt kits, and I have been o this forum for years.

lstevens76 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Evergreen or mitzumo for the timing stuff. A full OEM gasket kit is available on Amazon for $230 or so. By the time you buy OEM head gaskets + a kit you'll be up around $180 anyways. ACL race bearings run around $100 for a complete set. Get the .01 oversized for better oil flow. For rings I would check OEM pricing personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccrinc Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 You don't say what engine you have, but ACL Race Bearings are pretty much unobtainium, countrywide. We've gone to King Race bearings: better quality, similar pricing. (DO NOT use the blue-boxed non-race ACL bearings!! They are outsourced to China now and are absolute garbage.) Rings: OEM is NPR.

lstevens76 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Yeah, he didn't and that is a good question since I was basing on an EJ22 or EJ25. And the EJ25 And EJ20 bearings are still available on Amazon (race) but supplies appear to be dwindling fast so King may he a better option. Supplies dwindling tends to not he a good sign no matter how good the product is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
