Daewoo Leganza replacing head?

[JT353]

So I've been searching for a while and have been unable to find an answer to my questions. I have a 1999 Daewoo Leganza Sx from which the timing belt broke. I have ordered a new head but need some help on some other parts. I went to my dealer and for the parts timing belt water pump pulleys and gasket set the total would of been over a $1000 dollars. So I had a couple of questions I found the parts on ebay but they are not OEM. I was wondering if this matters that much or if I should try to order them through an Isuzu dealer using OEM Rodeo parts (X22SE).

Here are the links for the parts on ebay.

Also does anyone know if the Leganza Head Bolts are TTY?

Thanks for the help!

I guess these parts are as good as any aftermarket parts. Both Isuzu and Daewoo are simply using same Opel GM motor... This particular Isuzu was sold in Europe as Opel Frontera, so parts between the two are interchangeable.
Headbolts are torque-to-yield style.

[I didn't check the gasket kit]

I know the Lanos is and "think" the Leganza head bolts are TTY (torque to yield) "stretch/one time only bolts".
But can't verify this.
Hopefully a Laganza knowledgeable forum member provide this 411 ?

P.S. Welcome JT353 !

So I did a little bit more research to get that stuff from a Isuzu dealer would be around 600 dollars. Still too much I found a place where I can get a GATES timing belt for 30 bucks, Then I figured I could swap it out with the ebay kit. I'm still not sure about the head gasket kit, I think I could do that and then buy the OEM head bolts form the dealer. What do you guys think? Has anyone used the aftermarket parts or both so that I can get an idea about the quality of OEM vs. aftermarket?

Thanks for the replys!

I dont know about the kit for a leganza, but I recently purchased a complete timing belt kit for my sister's 97 civic through ebay as well. Everything fit perfectly, and when I asked my mechanic (the one who installed it) about it he told me that it was ok...OEM might be better quality in the long run, but not enough to justify the ridiculous price you are getting charged by your dealer.

Also, the link you provided in your first post shows that the seller has 100% positive with 10535 feedback. Thats as good as you will get in ebay.


Just something to consider.

Well I talked to my mechanic he seemed to think it was ok, so i went ahead and ordered everything, the parts look fine we shall see i guess. Thanks for the help.
