AISIN GENUINE TKH-001 Engine Timing Belt Kit with Water Pump - Compatible with Select Acura CL, MDX, TL Honda Odyssey, Pilot

Second Aisin kit I’ve installed, only one I will use. Both kits I bought contained all authentic components. Big cost savings over buying parts from Honda, This kit has all the OEM stuff. Had a Gates kit I installed in my 08 Accord and after reading up on all the failure horror stories I removed it after 5000 miles installed this one. Second kit was installed in an 04 Pilot (pictured) Both installations went without a hitch and are fairly straightforward if you know what you are doing. If you don’t have mechanical ability do not mess with timing components. If any component of your timing system fails on the Honda 3.2/3.5 it’s time for big repairs. I also adjusted the valve clearances and installed new valve cover gaskets when changing the belt and water pump. I would not even think about installing anything else.

Perfect fit, superb Quality... I'll update after a few thousand miles

Been using Aisin products for over a decade, great quality! This was installed in an 04 Honda Odyssey and everything fit perfectly. Don't waste your time with other brands Aisin makes OEM products!

Fit as advertised

Been using Aisin products for years now with zero issues.

Factory original manufacturer at a great price. No issues. Take your time and buy the crankshaft wrench.

First of all, let me mention that this kit contains all items required to do the timing belt & water pump job on the 2003 Honda Odyssey, MINUS the collar on the adjuster pulley, which you'll have to reuse. Clean the collar well and use some moly/lithium lube between it and the bore of the adjuster arm. You'll also need medium threadlocker (blue Loctite) for the idler pulley bolt. Instructions are not included, so consult your shop manual. The installation of these parts was seamless, meaning they all fit correctly. The only installation complaint I had was the pin on the hydraulic tensioner was extremely difficult to remove - you could remove it first and use an allen key in its place. Probably you'll be able to pull it with pliers. As far as quality is concerned, it was reasonably good overall. The outside of the water pump casting was alot rougher than I'd expected, but the inside was clean as a whistle. I thought there might have been a slight bow to the housing which went away upon torquing the pump down (and no leaks so far) which I was also not expecting. There is also a sharp edge on the pump pulley, so be careful when installing the timing belt. The idler and adjuster bearings were of very high quality (Koyo), and I was pleased with them. All of the parts are made in Japan, except the timing belt which is made in Thailand... which brings me to my final point, the timing belt is NOT Mitsubishi brand as the product description says. It is made by "Mitsuboshi", but nevertheless appeared to be of very good quality, or I would not have installed it. Again, installation went well, bearings/belt were of good quality and engine operates normally after installation.

Bought two of these kits for 01 odyssey and 03 pilot its quality parts as described, don't buy cheap ones on Amazon buy this !!! Or you'll be sorry the pilot had one of the cheap Amazon ones with 50k on it and water pump was leaking and belt was cracked every where

Although a little more expensive than some kits, the Aisin ones are a exact replacement. I found no downside to them.

Excelente producto quedo a la perfección a mi odyssey 2003 v6 3.5 lts, igual al original y trae instrucciones incluidas se recomienda leerlas detenidamente

Decided to buy this kit for my 2003 honda pilot. I didn't know how good it would be. I had read the reviews, most of them were good but, one never knows. Since I have know people to put aftermarket timing belts on honda's and had major engine problems, cause they snap and ruin your engine. Unfortunately due to a tight budget, I got this kit and installed it. The kit came with water pump, timing belt, idler pulleys and tensioner. It's been a few months now and still going strong. Worked great, very pleased with the product and price. If your looking for a good timing belt kit for a honda pilot look no further this is a good one and won't break your bank.

OEM replacement for Honda 3.5. Excellent quality. Spend the little bit extra for this kit rather than the lesser gates kit.

I understand that Aisin was the OEM supplier so not surprising that this kit fit perfectly in my 03 Ody. The parts are indistinguishable from the OEM ones. Don't forget that you need to reuse the steel sleeve out of the original belt tensioner so don't lose it when you take the old one off. You will also need a few tools, including the special Honda crank pulley removal tool or some other means to get it off. I bought one but it could be borrowed or rented from a parts place. I also bought Eric The Car Guy's timing belt V-Manual for the Honda V6 engine and used it as my guide while installing this kit. It's a 90 minute .wmv file and is well worth tossing fifteen bucks to ETCG for. I would watch a step of the video, hit pause, then do the same step on my engine. If you've never done a timing belt before, having the v-manual to guide you turns an intimidating job into something more like building with lego, provided you have all the tools you need. It took me about 6-8 hours but I was being very methodical and double checking everything. A mechanic's labor cost on this job is huge, so use the savings to treat yourself to the Aisin parts if you're doing it yourself.
