[BrandonW]

anyone ever order from here?

i was thinking about getting this:

and i'll get the cover gasket from toyota

my cps is leaking, not alot just a very small amount but i guess its time to replace it or rebuild it

Yep- I bought and installed it- pretty easy to do. Hardest part was getting the coil gaps correct afterwards, not too bad. I would suggest a toyota O-ring, though. Mine was 1/2" too big.

I bought from here as well - no problems at all.

hmm the one they sent is and even on their pic you can see it

its just like the dowel pin thats for the cam gears isn't it?

am i able to get one from toyota?

Are you sure it is plastic? Fails the magnet test? The CPS gear and pin kit is discontinued, so getting one from Toyota is no longer an option.

i contacted the site through email and this was the responce i got after telling them what it was

kbox provides roll pins in all of their kits because they compress as you tap them
into place and have a spring action that keeps them tight in the hole. Their kits
have been this way for years and it works perfectly.

oh and no i found out that it is not plastic its just small so it seemed like it was

 

[GrimJack]

Yup, the rollpin is fine, mine has been working perfectly for years now.

Is there any reason to rebuild the cps if its not leaking and you have the air gaps adjusted properly?

Depends on your comfort level. Total time in service? Other things on it can fail you know. How's the bearing? Besides, there's always the prophylactic approach. Imho the best way to do maintenance. Then again I'm biased...
