Once I am done with the Accord, I will order another kit for the Odyssey. It is too darned hot to work on the cars this summer with the unbearable humidity. I had ordered some new tools to get this kit installed but I will wait probably until the fall to do that. I was also surprised that the same kit will fit the Honda Odyssey as well. If I can get another 100K out of this kit on my Accord, I would be very happy. I will take the AC Delco over the Aisin any day as AC Delco parts are usually made in the US. Upon further checking, I found that the water pump is identical to the AC Delco unit. However, it seems good quality aluminum casting and the pulley is polished metal rather than the dull metal color from the picture. I was a little surprise that the water pump is not Aisin like some others had stated.

I was a bit concerned that the timing belt is very thin but checking the old belt, it looks the same. The belt is Gates brand but also made in Japan. I was not surprised that it came with the Aisin tensioner and the Koyo idler and the tensioner pulleys. Amazon delivered it in 4 days and it arrived in excellent condition. I ordered this kit as it is shown as a fit for my Honda Accord V6. This eliminates the need for extensive calculations and a simplified approach to belt selection can be used.
