does anyone know if the Contitech timing belt is any good or is it crap?

Ive been using the Gates belt that Partsdinosaur.com offers on my last 2 DSMs and they truely are legit without the big pricetag just because it's a ''namebrand''
If i had money i would have shelled out the extra for oem but screw it, it's already on.
Looks strong, let's see how it does.
I thought all timing belts were Kevlar. Hrm.
How long do they warrant these for, do you know?
Am I the only one in this post who knows about kevlar timing belts?
Super Strong Timing Belt
Lasts up to 4 times longer than stock-like timing belts, much stronger, less expansion/stretch.
But the thing about Kevlar timing belts is that they say if you get any oil on them you should replace it asap ..... So if your dipstick just happens to pop out spraying oil everywhere boom there just went your $250+ t belt
When I first did my T-belt I made the mistake of buying a belt at Checker. 4k miles later the belt slipped and bent vavles on me. Initialy I thought that I screwed up the tension but later I found out that the belt itself stretched! After only 4 thousand miles! But I didnt learn. I went to NAPA and bought an entire T-belt kit for my car. After 2k miles the tensioner pulley locked up and bent valves again!
Since then I will never buy anything but OEM parts. That was enough proof for me.
Not sure if they still make them, and they are high. But Ive had awesome service out og my Greddy timing belt.
