That's a valid point, more so if it's a DIY fit, however if a garage job then you would expect them to use current stock not ebay specials! I would personally opt for a known brand from a reputable supplier and not perhaps cheap kits from an unknown source for that very reason.

As for the FIAT 5 pot I do believe that is an engine out from underneath to gain access to a belt change due to the lack of room up top to carry out the job. Probably why they are cheap to buy nowadays.
