anyone have any experience with them? i am in the process of swapping the motor form my 92 wagon into my 90 sedan and while i have the motor out i plan on replacing the timing belt, tensioner pulley, idler pulleys, oil pump, water pump, crank seal, rear main, reseal the valve covers and reseal the oil pan. i have had a couple people suggest using a kevlar t-belt instead of the oem belt and would like oppinions.

If you have a 2.2l engine ask for the California Spec. T-belt from a Subaru Parts Counter as it is Kevlar reinforced and will change your T-belt change interval from 60,ooo miles to 105,000 miles.

If you do that make sure you do the water pump at the same time.
