Message	If you buy the "Mazda" timing belt kit for an early Miata, you only get a factory Mazda valve cover gasket set and water pump *gaskets*. The water pump itself and bearings are KHB or whatever that you can get from eBay for literally 1/3 the cost - same exact box, same exact part#, same exact casting marks on the parts, etc. You know, the parts that most people insist on only using genuine OEM parts for (that's how I stumbled upon it years ago). They do not repackage the parts though. They leave them in the generic white boxes they get them in. So if Courtesy does that, that's quite a bit different.
