96 Honda Accord EX Timing Belt Change
Question for all you accord owners.
I'm planning on changing my timing belt and I already bought a timing belt, balance belt and water pump. What else do I need to complete the job? Someone told me I need some seals other belts?
Anyone has a list of parts that are required for a complete job?
Greatly appreciate your input
Thanks

Suggestions but they're not exactly REQUIRED...
Tensioner pulleys? Some people automatically replace them, some inspect them carefully while it's easy to see them.
There's oil seals on the balancer shafts, I think there was a recall for some years like yours. Have a dealer check (by VIN) whether yours was done. If not, I think the parts are cheap & you're already doing all the labor to get at those seals.
Since you have to drain coolant, maybe get a new thermostat? Since you have to remove the external drive belts (alternator, etc...), maybe get new ones?

Cam, crank, and balacer seals(balancer seal retainer!). All drive belts. Water pump and fresh coolant. Valve cover gasket. 
You should not need tensioner bearings we might replace 1set in 75 belt jobs and that one is generally on a car getting its 3rd belt or making a noticable amount of noise.
