Re: water pump and oil pump brand?
aftermarket parts really aren't bad as long as you get the quality ones, you guys know who makes most timing belts for honda? "Gates" O'reilly's carries gates so why not use it?
if you know the maker you can get it form them directly or from another source rather then paying markup just because they put it a HONDA sticker on it
19200-P72-013 / WATER PUMP (YAMADA)

Just because it is made by the same manufacturer doesn't mean it is exactly the same product.
For example, Honda uses gates belts on lots of motors but not on B-series...

They're many companies that make exact same replica parts and sell to honda dealerships for cheaper then what American Honda sells them for. Can you tell the differance between them? Looks the same, works the same, comes in a honda bag/box and part number on it. Only differance is the price that the dealership buys them for but you still pay the same retail.
Kinda f'ed up but it's all about making money

I am in no way saying an integral part from a Napa or Pep Boys is a better way to go than OEM, but get your **** straight before you start claiming a "Honda" sticker insinuates something special, to be honest with you, it doesn't.

OEM's manufacturer parts for Honda, to Honda spec
The only way you are going to get Honda spec is by buying OEM Honda.
I am not saying that OEM's don't sell the same ****, but the specs that Honda sets out for their own products vs. what's sold by the same OEM by 3rd party sellers is not guaranteed to be the same.
That's all I am saying.
Also - just because gates makes timing belts for D-series and other honda motors does not mean that they are exactly the same as B-series timing belts (that are made by a different manufacturer).
It's like saying non-honda coolant will do exactly the same job as oem honda coolant (even though honda doesn't MAKE the coolant, it's still made to Honda's specifications).
