Default Bad Blauparts

I've now had problems with both of the Blauparts timing belt kits I've installed. Both of the timing belt tensioner pulleys have gone bad. The sheave wheels end up sliding back and forth on their bearings. I'm lucky I haven't lost a motor! In the future I going to suck it up and order the parts from the Dealer. I can't afford to be re-doing these. I'd rather just get the oem parts.

Default good blauparts

I just wanted to clarify. I'm not trying to badmouth Blauparts. I've been very happy with a lot of their products. I've installed over a dozen of their bearings, and they are all still working flawlessly. The same with their control arms and valve cover gasket kits. But, I don't know if I'd buy their timing belt kits again.
