At $12 it's an in-line right?

Yes, I'm interested. At 6 years the TB's reached it's best before date. Hopefully you can be kind to us on cross border shipping.

I would think about it only if it had a Gates belt. My boss buys Dayco belts at work and they are cheap garbage.

The belt from the dealer is Goodyear so that should be consider.

Agreed. The Goodyear ones I have used are fine.

I have a customer that hauls campers into Canada regularly, I may be able to convince him to carry them across the border and mail them to you once across if that is a feasible way of skirting around silly taxes and fees

I'm interested too. 91,000 and starting to plan.

I had a dream last night or should I say a nightmare of my TB breaking so I am interested as well

Ours 1s 92K and 23.5 mpg w inline 192 degree thermo. I'll be first in line if possible. Does anyone have the tools available near SC?

I'm interested. I don't need the thermostat but I need everything else. I'm in Canada.

Sitting at 91 k put me on the list

I gather this topic is regarding timing belt replacement parts. If you are planning a bulk purchase, I am also interested as I only have a few k to go.
Where is the original post?

For the other Canadian, I have a PO box in Buffalo and could collect your parts also.

No worries, my supplier is having issues with the tensioners for some reason. So, your post is helpful in pointing me to another possible place to acquire parts. I will contact them and see if they offer wholesale discounts of sorts to shops and place my price somewhere inbetween if possible

I Called the guys at idparts.com and talked to Corey. Great guy, and from my first impressions a great company to deal with. It seems it won't be worth my time fighting with poor availability through my suppliers when there is s company already offering a kit with quality parts at a great price. So I tip my hat to the guys at idparts.com and simply recommend those looking for timing belt components to them.

I see they also sell the TB cover gasket separate? Does that need to be replaced? Is it likely to break?

I also notice standard or OE on the tensioner and water pump. Are the standard ones any good.

flman · **Posted:** Mon Mar 26, 2012 11:08 am

I ordered the standard kit after a phone call, the tensioner is made in Canada by Litens, and the pump is from Europe.

flman - thanks for calling.

I was in another room when you called so you spoke to one of my colleagues. He was mistaken in that the Crown tensioner is not from Litens in Canada, but rather by Crown themselves. The bearing is from NTN, however. Please call if you'd like to speak with me (Corey) directly or if you want to swap tensioners.

That being said this tensioner design is very simple, its an eccentric circle, so I am not concerned about it failing, especially since Crown uses a brand-name bearing.

The OEM-Mopar tensioner uses a Litens tensioning assembly, though I do not know who they source their bearings from.

Sounds all good to me as long as it is not Made in China. :google:
