For some things buying through eBay and other sources the risk is worth reward. In the case of timing belts and kits, not at all.

My kit for PT Cruiser was $175 my cost.  Retail is $270.  But the previous kit lasted 112,000 miles.  Pretty good investment

Had to take timing belt off this Pilot to install Camshaft sensor.  Could get bolt holding sensor out. But sensor was to big to remove.  It is mounted on cover behind front camshaft pulley.

Just about all of the makes have made it rough for DIYers.

Have too remove this to get too that, and then replace parts that otherwise wouldn't need replacing.

 

BTW, that looks familiar. I think I've seen it a time or two.
