Found the tensioner pulley (koyo) for $17.77 re-boxed by gates on amazon > click

Timing belt tensioner (gmb) for $25.77 re-boxed by gates on amazon > click

Balance shaft belt tensioner (gmb) for $12.54 re-boxed by gates on amazon > click

I know the koyo is oe, but can't remember if gmb is oe for the other 2 parts. Anyone have a stock engine laying around? Much cheaper than mitsubishi! I know beck-arnley does this with oe parts as well. I'm curious if their tb adjuster is a mitsu part.

I don't think GMB or Korea are OE. I think they are all Koyo. Have to check my parts later.

I just checked if I had them in stock, I don't. I wanted to take some pictures for comparison purposes.

Yeah, my bearings were NTN also. I think GMB is Korean, so maybe Hyundai parts. I just received a tensioner lever arm in a Beck Arnley box that is a Genuine Hyundai part. I will have to take a picture.

I purchased all three gmb bearings/pulleys off an eBay seller for $30 shipped. He had the whole timing kit for $45-$50 with the pulleys but I had him send me an invoice for just the bearings for $30. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Now we need to find tie rods that are repackaged, and wheel bearings.

No leads on the h tensioner. Don't know who makes it. Need to find that out first.
