I have heard very little bad and lots of good about them, I am going to be buying the whole kit and some more in the next week or so for my truck

good product, and i think ted's a great guy when it comes to service.

i haven't had a single problem with the timing guides myself -- just make sure to request the set with the steel driver's side rail instead of the "normal" plastic one -- much more trouble-free, and won't break and let your chain eat a hole in the timing cover.

Have you checked out www.22re.com

Me and my buddys have built probably 10 motor with this kit with no prob. I got mine shipped to my door for 325...Everything in the kit is toyota stuff except the pistons

I've got that in my truck, plastic guilds even.  No problems using his stuff.  Good customer service.  Cheapest I could find at the time.

yea but thier cams are really mild,   like the enginebldr rv4  is like a lc stage 1/2

EBC stuff is top quality w/o the price. Done 5 motors with thier stuff.

So good in fact we use it in the race motors. Sure, you can spend lots more, but most of the time you are paying for a name. We run the 22r's at 5k all day and beat the snot out of them. At last tear down (overheated due to a radiator failure) the bearings / rings / t-chain /cam looked & measured like new.

As for the guide spend afew more $ and get the steel guide from them as well. Only thing I get from LC is the adjsutable gear, the rest is from EBC

   you use enginblders cam ??

i've found that these engines like a mild cam better than some of the radical stuff, being that they take a while to really wind up.  i love the 268C grind that's in mine, compliments everything nicely on my engine and really rips.
