Q about timing belt change parts list and how often should i flush my tranny?
does anyone know of any good timing belt kits for 97 accord ex
where could i find cheap quality parts?
what else would i have to buy besides these parts for a timing belt repair
timing belt
T-belt tensioner
Balance Shaft Belts
Water Pumps
Power Steering Belt optional
Air Conditioning Compressor Belt optional
Valve Cover Gaskets
oil pump O-ring
cam seal
crank shaft seal
balancer shaft seal
balancer shaft seal RETAINER
T-belt tensioner
are these good sites to buy from
http://www.prostreetonline.com...t+Kit
http://www.manhonda.com/ap/ind...id=34
http://replacement.autopartswa...=true
what is the difference in pricing? is the most expensive part better?
should i try to get honda oem parts or does it matter?
how often should i flush my transmission? i recently got a CEL code and have to have it flushed. i'm guessing every 60k.

If you are taking it to a shop, they can get the parts cheaper than you can. So I doubt you would save any money buying the parts yourself.
PS: If you bring it to a Honda dealer they can probably wait until they take it all apart, then see what parts they need. Another shop can hardly do it that way because they don't have the parts in stock. But it will probably cost more at the dealer, so it's really a tuff choice.

yea, but the shops deal w/ aftermarket parts to keep their profit margins up while keeping the rates somewhat lower than dealer...
I bought Honda OEM parts from an online/ebay honda dealer on the west coast & have it delivered on the east coast... (prices were somewhat cheaper than dealers of NJ...)
from my list o parts, the only aftermarkets i woulda purchase were a felpro valve cover gasket set, ngk plugs, aftermarket drive belts (ps/ac/alt) but stuck to OEM when concerned w/ very important parts of the timing belt.
as seen on here: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1507250
I was going to take it to my independent shop, but they're soo booked... & wife needed the car , i ended up going to honda dealer instead. if you read my thread

the last part is the same as the 1st... or do u mean balance shaft tensioner?
to add to your parts list:
plugs, if they haveta remove them during the job; they reinstall them w/out any additional fee, just like the drive belts.
prestone 5 year/100ooomile coolant... the yellow stuff. (who's still using green?)
oil/filter...optional since u can diy after they have done changing those oil seals...
-----------------------------------
as far as the CEL code: what was the actual code #? I didn't know it would light up to remind u to flush the auto transmission fluid...
did u goto autozone for a free obd II scan?
here's the list of codes:

to add:
i usually drain/refill the auto trans fluid every other oil change or 2x a year... since the filter can't be reached like other cars... it's only like ~3 quarts every time you do it.
some on the board likes to use honda-specific only... others, like me, use regular mercon-dexron w/ no adverse effects
