    I've seen quite a price spread on the timing belt kits. This includes
    belt, tensioner, idlers. The range is from $123 to $400+.

    Anyone familiar with ContiTech? They are the low end. Yes, I know
    Gates or Dayco is better, but this is a kid on a tight budget and the
    car probably won't last more than a year anyway so I'm thinking cheap
    may be OK.

    It is going in a 15 year old car on the second engine already. The
    kid's budget is so tight, his grandfather is probably going to give
    the kit to him for his birthday.

    Anyone familiar with ContiTech?    They are the low end.  Yes, I know
    ContiTech = Continential AG, the German tire/rubber/belt company.

    I would have no hesitation putting one of their belts on my car.

    Thanks for the confirmation. Conti Tech it will be. The car is a '95
    Probe with Mazda engine. Now he can get out and look for a real job
    to pay for it all.
