James Matteu Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 wat do you think about a timing belt kit from autozone? i have low budget thats why pls reply asap You have too much riding on a timing belt, no use in going cheap, buy OEM. Find some other way to save money, unless you plan on changing it and then selling it right away, even though that is a pretty cold thing to do to someone else.

Kastigir Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 OEM or nothing. The old adage, "You get what you pay for.", applies in this instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kastigir Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Timing belt change is at 90k intervals, so you're due. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeryon Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 what he said ^^ with just about any honda, if you do not know and couldn't get the info from the previous owner of when the TB was last replaced just replace it anyway. this way you know it won't snap on you when your on the highway and bend all your valves.

jcfbaby Posted February 27, 2008 Author Share Posted February 27, 2008 alright then so im thinking of just replacing the timing belt it self im going to get the OEM honda one as you guys insisted, but what do you think about the water pump and the others?

91Civic3DrHb Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 ...what do you think about the water pump and the others? From everything I've read, you should replace the water pump when you replace the timing belt, because you have to remove the timing belt to replace the water pump (if it goes bad). And, the water pump isn't too expensive, so it makes sense to just change it when you change the timing belt. That's what I'm going to do when I change my timing belt soon.

Xeryon Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 since the WP is under the timing belt you usually do that as well, same thing for the tensioner pulley and bolt. the WP is relatively cheap. the other belts are your preference, they are also pretty cheap and since you have to take them all off it is usually a good bet to do them too.

EGx94 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I replaced my drive belts too when i did my 94ex. They were still okay but they were cheap anyway and it made me happier. I also had a lot of time when i did my timing belt so I removed my valve cover, spray painted it red and adjusted my valve clearances after I installed the timing belt (easier to turn engine without the drive belts). Took me two days though and a few bottles of coronas. Also I suggest checking your engine mounts too. Good luck on your install and have FUN!

honda for me Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 It actually doesn't matter what timing belt you use as long as it fits and suits your engine. But if I were to ask, purchase a timing belt on Honda Civic parts that'll cost you less. Just a suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
