Ive read good things about the Gates kit and am going to be tackling the timing belt job soon. Is the kit below the correct part for a 2003 SVT? Im finding most sites are pretty sub-par descriptions.

I would highly recommend buying factory. talk to steve. parts are about 140.00 for belt tensioner, idler, and valve cover gasket

Care to elaborate why? I too like OEM, so I'm wondering if you've heard poor things about Gates, or if you simply prefer OEM always.

Gates is pretty good quality too, Ive never had a problem with their belts.
