Gates Timing Belt Kit w/ Water Pump 1999-2005 Impreza / 1999-2005 Forester

it is very poor;y packaged so that all the metal pieces can, and will, all come out and bang around on eachother and damage the seals and plastic piece the kit comes with. they put it all in a cheap plastic tray and "seal" it with a thin plastic cling wrap type thing to attempt to hold it all in place. but since it goes through ups or fedex it gets banged and rolled and all the pieces will come loose and just be a box with loose heavy metal pices with delicate metal seals in there to get ruined. but to be fair i told customer service and they agreed to send me replacement of all the pieces that were damaged. but if i was needing the kit quickly id be waiting an extra couple weeks before i could do the timing job. id recommend if you get this either know that you will have to go an auto parts store last minute for a seal or something or will be waiting longer for replacement pieces.

Everything came with directions and this included the gaskets needed for the water pump and only a bolt for the tensioner. Very nice products. Haven't installed the belt itself yet but looked great. The only complaint I have is I'm not sure if it was UPS or subimods but the packaging that separates all the pulleys was so cheap and nothing was tightly wrapped so they all came out and some even unwrapped so there was quite a bit of damage/dings in almost every part I was sent... Nothing that I think is going to affect functionality, at least I hope not, but still disappointed in that.
