I am getting prepared to replace my timing belt and water pump and are starting to collect the parts I will need, 2003 Pilot. Advance Autoparts had a great deal, spend $100 and get a $50 off $50 or more for a future order. I decided to go ahead and buy the belt, a beck/arnley belt (best one they had) and a ASC water pump. I am on the fence as to whether I should return and go with OEM parts for these or should they be just as good. Any experiences or comments would be appreciated.
