Kinda feel like I wasted my money on those but they haven't blown up yet so maybe the hassle of cutting and trimming and trying to make them fit properly was worth the $5 I saved. The last radiator hoses I bought were Dayco and they sucked as far as fitment is concerned. The heater hoses almost never go bad, but if you do replace them just get the molded ones from the dealer. Upper and lower radiator and the J hose on the water pump are the biggies.
Get a dealer gasket (stamped steel coated with rubber) or just use anaerobic sealant. One quick tip, if that kit comes with a paper water pump gasket just throw it out. Usually without that the kits are $120-$150 and the tensioner is another $90+. That's is an astounding deal on a timing kit with a new tensioner. I am actually planning on buying the Gates kit from Amazon, it's cheaper than Rockauto: (it also helps that I have some Amazon gift card / rewards points etc)Ĭomes with new tensioner, water pump, and belt marked with lines to help you line up the timing Edited Jby vladvv I was surprised when I found out the 95 is non-interference, but I know that if it breaks in the middle of a road trip I'll be paying hundreds for someone to do it, and I also know rubber parts become pretty brittle after 18 years. Timing kits can be found on ebay for under $200 for the whole works. and are both decent places to buy parts online - just remember to include any shipping costs for comparison purposes. The good news is the 95 should still be non-interferrence so if the timing belt should give up on you, it wont cause any damage internally. I am a strong believer in preventative maintenance and so the car is slowly getting caught up on all the scheduled items that I do not have a record for (including timing belt/water pump which are original) Every time I drive it I think about how great it rides considering the age of the suspension parts and such. I got the car for really cheap, but it was a little neglected in terms of maintenance other than oil changes. I don't really care about keeping everything looking OEM, just has to be functional and good quality.

That's pretty much what I wanted (I expected more since I think Miata had 9? I'm still pretty new to working on cars)Īs far as timing belt I'm looking at a gates kit with water pump, and Timken/Felpro camshaft and crank shaft seals, and I believe the oil pump o ring and gasket is included in the fel pro kit with crankshaft seal. Okay thanks guys, looks like there's 6 hoses total to worry about, so I will look at 6 hoses and replace as needed. Oops! I added car in profile and figured it would show up under my name or something, added to Signature now. (edit to add - you didnt specify what year/model you have so I used the diagrams for my 98 Forester - most others should be very similar however)
