One problem with mitsu is a lot of what they do is either proprietary (2.6 fuel injectors, for one) or very hush hush if it's not (like still not being 100% sure if the oem 2.6 water pump is raisin or gmb). It makes it very difficult to find oem parts without the dealer.

I can't find out much as to where dnj gets their parts from, but it looks like they strive for the lowest cost over anything else. I used them for complete engine gasket kit. Can't beat $50 for everything. Most of it is paper, rubber, or cork aka tough to mess up. The stuff that can go wrong such as head gasket and rear main seal I got from felpro as they actually make and research their own products. So I agree, don't use dnj for timing kits.

Just recently did my sisters elantra timing belt. Many on the board insisted on dealer only. Did some research and found out gmb bearings and gates belts are oem. Rock auto for 100. Too bad its not as easy with mitsu parts to find the oem and buy on rock auto.
