Re: Rock Auto maintenance part closeout deals

A few years ago I purchased a Rock Auto "closeout" Gates timing belt for my Honda CRX. They sent me a Continental (made by Gates) belt that was in a Yellowed box, something that was made back in about 1993 or so. That belt, would have self-destructed my engine, it was older than the one it would have to replace. Timing belts are like rubberbands, once on a shelf for long time, they are JUNK.

Be careful what types of parts you buy from them, yes good deals, but stay away from belts and hoses cause they may be YEARS old made back in 92-97 for our SVX's
