Airtex AWK1366 Engine Timing Belt Kit with Water Pump

Correct fit for my 2004 Honda Pilot.Belt said made in USA on it.Water pump seemed to be normal quality.The rest of the parts seemed to be of good quality.I installed them yesterday, so I won't know anything about durability for a few years.If I have the car that long.My water pump was leaking.Seemed to be OEM judging by the amount of corrosion at the mating surface to the Engine block.My odometer says 192 K miles.So OEM pump held out well if it is in fact the original.I use Walmart coolant, which makes some Honda owners shudder.I don't think I would have gotten much more value for the additional expense had I gone for the higher priced kit.Happy to save $50 or $60.Tips...I had to go to a local garage to have them free the crank bolt, as I didn't have quite enough torque on my air wrench.I was limited I think by not quite enough air pressure. Had only about 120 psi.Had him put it back easy for the drive home. Then my wrench was enough.Start by removing the lower plastics and PS pump to give you more room.Then remove engine mounts for more room.Have some 1/4 inch short sockets and assorted short extensions and U joints in 10, 12, 14 mm size.Some of the work is very tight for space.Especially the dipstick tube bolt.I had to use a flat screwdriver and hammer to free the the dipstick tube by hammering up on it from below.Corrosion at the tube / block interface.I changed the front crankshaft seal while I was at it.Why not?It came out easily by prying with a small flat screwdriver.Had to move crank position sensor out of the way first...easy.Be sure to check your work by rotating the crankshaft clockwise two turns and check your marks before you button it up.I had mine a tooth off the first go round.Easy to get it wrong, and a lot of work to back track.So be triple sure you got it on the right teeth.Took me about 10 hours over two days, but I was working in not the best shop.It was first time time with this kind of engine.I suggest you get a bag of the plastic buttons to hold the plastic cover on.It's easy to destroy them during removal, and a pain to try to use the old ones.Hope this is useful to you.Good luck!

The timing belt that came with the kit was incorrect. Unfortunately I didn't catch this until I had the engine torn apart and the old belt out.Amazon offered to have me return the kit but I needed the water-pump and the other timing components (which were correct). They ended up giving me a credit for the incorrect belt and I had to run to the local auto parts store to get the correct belt.The parts that were correct work well and I ha happy with the quality.No more leaking water pump.

Everything fit and worked great!Its a direct replacment.

Very disappointed in product. Had my mechanic replace my timing belt on my 2003 Honda Odyssey. Got to the part where he had to replace the Engine Timing Belt Tensioner and it was the wrong one. Had no choice but to use the rest of the kit and had to use the old engine timing belt tensioner.Caution make sure all the parts are the right ones for your car before having anyone work on it.

2000 Odyssey. Everything fit except the tensioner. Does not match the picture above. Mounting holes are aligned parallel to the piston, not at right angles like the picture and the original tensioner.

good
