Experience with "cheap" timing chain set??

Hi guys,

I am going to change the timing chain with cam phasers, VCT solenoids and cam shaft position sensors on our 2007 f-150 5.4l
Does anybody have experience with parts from CNS Engine Parts, sold on amazon???
There is quite a price differnce to other companies, specially Ford.

Any input is appreciated.

Michael.

The bad reviews aren't enough for you? Seriously spend the money on genuine parts. You don't want to do the job over.

I found some bad ones and some good ones. Don't believe so much in the online reviews.That is the reason, I asked here,because I was hoping to get some experience first hand.
Not every aftermarket product can be bad.

I bought Cloyes. I read some good reviews online, and some felt that it was OE. I didn't wind up using them, since the cam journals on the passenger side were wiped. I wound up putting in an engine.
