pearlm30 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I just replaced the timing belt, water pump and idlers using the kit I got on eBay. I have heard the Mitsuboshi belt lasts 90,000 miles? Anyone know for sure? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davebugs Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I only installed them on non-interference engines. They do look good though. And supposed to be OEM - but I'd never take that risk. I know of atleast a few that went 100k. Don't know of any that failed - but I sold all of those cars. Some folks called me after 100k wanting me to do the next timing belt change.

cal_look_zero Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I SWEAR by Mitsuboshi. I had a derp moment on my Montero Sport (See; junk the car if you snap a T belt) and went about 22k miles past the interval. Damn belt still looked new with almost no cracking and was pliable as could be. Needless to say I stuck another one in. I would say it's a 90-100k mile belt, easy.

ShawnW Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Side by side, I have found nothing that matches the dealer belt like the Mitsuboshi. It even feels the same during installation-some feel tougher or less pliable but this feels the same there too. I see no reason to not trust it and use them all the time.

Caboobaroo Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Thats all we use at the shop I work for. I have seen them go to the 105k miles timing belt mileage just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
