Whoever was bashing on the timing belt dont know what their talking about,the one I got from Rock auto is manufactured from the same material the OEM is made from and actually feels more durable and robust. Point is for the price, quickness and customer service you get from them their hard to beat.
Just curious how do you judge parts on quality but just touch and feel? I don't understand how a timing belt feels more durable and robust. Also how did you qualify the oil pump as being great?

Because the price was right and the build quality is top notch on the oil pump.Thats how. I've been an aircraft mechanic for a long time and working on cars for even longer. I can tell crap from quality...maybe not as scientific as some methods, but touch, feel and a little experience go a long way.

I have seen problems with Rock Auto head gaskets and oil pumps on mitus. Contech timing belts are a problem for our cars also. Have yet to ever see one make it 60k before failure. Cant say on Rock Auto belts though.

If I am wokring on a CX Civic it probaly is worth the risk but not for our evo. Factory, gates and felpro at our shop.
