Now I want to store the booster properly, what would...

    Gen 3, which timing belt kit and immediate maintainance

    Ok received my Aisin kit and Gates timing belt with pulleys. Aisin has a Mitsuboshi made in Thailand belt, Japan Koyo pulleys and obviously a Aisin water pump, not sure where this is made though. The gates belt is made in the U.S. with Japan Koyo pulleys.

    Gen 3, which timing belt kit and immediate maintainance

    Mitsuboshi is reputable, it's strange I saw the Mitsuboshi belt online and it said made in Singapore.. So they might have factories in other countries or outsourcing. I also saw the contitech kit and the belt is made in Germany. I'm not sure why Aisin doesn't include the tensioner on the regular...

    Gen 3, which timing belt kit and immediate maintainance

    While I kind of agree on this, the car is 17 years old the mileage is low but time is a factor. We already had 3 alternators go on the XLS for cam seal leak.

    Gen 3, which timing belt kit and immediate maintainance

    thanks everyone for the reply. So far: 1. Gates belt. 2. OEM tensioner. 3. Koyo Pulleys. 4. OEM seals. 5. Aisin pump. Anyone have an issue trying to get access to the crank seal? Does the gear slide out by hand or need to fit a gear puller in there?

    Hi Guys, I found my dad another gen 3. He currently has a 2001 XLS with maybe 150k on it, it's starting to need some work. The "new" Montero is a 2002 Limited with 80K that looks to be not religiously maintained but drives excellent and got it at a great price. I noticed if the car sat...
