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.
I had an aftermarket timing belt break on my '91 Prelude after only 95,000 km (60,000miles). Might just have been bad luck, but OEM for me on the belt from now on.
