Hopefully good quality, Denso gear is usually decent. Unfortunately the Chinese are buying old names and making cheap junk to go in the box, I got caught with a Crossland filter.

surely.
I also end up buying low-quality products without checking.
Manufacturers with IR on their HP are generally fine.

I replaced the serpentine belt because I smelled rubber from the engine compartment.
The belt had many cracks.
It was a different part number than the service manual.
For the 2003 model, the service manual lists only one belt option.
Maybe someone replaced it?
I don't know the correct length, but the belt is 2225mm, and the tensioner is working and working properly at the moment.

When I replaced the serpentine belt, I noticed some play in the water pump, so I replaced it without ignoring it.
I was unsure about the belt length, so I drew a line at the belt tensioner's limit position (24mm before the stopper).
In the end, the belt was too long, so I replaced it with a 2200mm one.

The plastic valve cover arrived.
The gasket is soft rubber.
The lip of the gasket that touches the head is flat.
The bolts reached the specified torque after the sleeve touched the head.
For now I've just replaced the left side that was leaking.
Completely fixed.
It's strange that they didn't use this structure from the beginning, as it clearly makes sense.

When I was replacing the right valve cover, the breather hose fell apart, so I rebuilt it as needed.
Starting from the engine side, I attached a 90° radiator hose, oil separator, oil-resistant hose, PA66 elbow joint, and oil-resistant hose, in that order.
All hoses have an inner diameter of 15mm.
14mm seemed fine.
I also did the left side, and the materials cost was about $20.
