What seals to replace when doing timing belt change?
I am a out to do a timing belt change on my 94 Accord with 189k miles. I want my car to last for a long time. I know I should change the:
-Cam Seal
-Crank Seal
-Balancer Seal
What other seals should be replaced when doing timing belt? I had to search hard to find that I should replace the balancer seal as well. The dealerships dont even change that when they do a timing belt change, but I want to take enough precaution to maintain that I do not have a oil leak and pre-maturely kill my engine.
Are there any other seals to change while I am in there doing the timing belt?
So far, I am doing:
1) Timing Belt
2) Balancer Timing belt
3) Water Pump
4) front Cam Seal
5) front Crank shaft seal
6) balancer seal
7) A/C accessory belt
8) Power Steering accessory belt
9) Timing Belt Adjuster (Tensioner)
10) Balancer Belt Adjuster (Tensioner)
11) Timing Belt Adjuster Spring
12) Balancer Belt Adjuster Spring
13) Valve cover gasket kit
Am I missing anything? I want to make my purchase from Majestic Honda ASAP, but I want confirmation before I do.

-Crank Seal

"front main seal" should be your crank seal.
I would also do rear main, [crank] seal, in fact I would do any seal you can access.94

What about that oil pump o-ring? Whats the deal with that?
I want to order my parts now, but I am waiting to hear a final consensus on the oil pump o-ring. I have 3 seals:
-Crank
-Cam
-Balancer
Anyone have anything to say about this oil pump seal?

Anytime a seal or O ring can be replaced do so, if what the seal or O ring is sealing has been taken apart absolutely replace it.94

Re: What seals to replace when doing timing belt change?
I know that, but I have never done a timing belt job before. I have never been so deep into my engine before. I have searched on here in the archives but I have only seen one person mention changing the oil pump seal. I do not even know where it is or if I will be in the area to change it. I am asking because i do not have in dept hands on knowledge of the inside of my engine. I am purchasing parts online, so I want to buy the parts before I actually pull apart my engine.
Should I purchase a oil pump o-ring?

if you miss a seal when your ordering your stuff its not a big deal. just buy it locally at a parts house or stealership. it might be a few bucks more expensive, but more than likely you'll still be able to get it. btw that sounds about like everything you'll need. its been a while since Ive done an accord, but I believe the oil pump oring your talking about is on the back side of the pump which you wont be pulling off. if its not leaking i would leave it alone. if your gonna pull the pump i would replace it as well with that many miles on it.
