97 accord se timing belt question
I am about to replace my timing belt on my 97 V4 Accord SE.
What should I replace other than the timing belt and the water pump??
I found these on ebay, will this kit be suitable? It's $144 + shipping, good deal?
Should I order and replace the TIMING BELT AND BALANCE BELT TENSIONERS as well?
PART LIST
14400-PT0-004 TIMING BELT
13405-PT0-004 BALANCE BELT
91233-PT0-003 BAL SHAFT SEAL
06923-P0A-306 BALANCE SHAFT SEAL RETAINER
15114-PT0-003 OIL DRIVE GEAR SEAL
91212-P0A-004 FRONT MAIN (CRANK) SEAL
91213-PT0-003 CAM SEAL
12341-PT0-000 VALVE COVER GASKET
12342-PT0-000 X4 SPARK PLUG TUBE SEALS
19200-P0A-003 WATER PUMP

Re: 97 accord se timing belt question (intezn)
the tensioners are recommended.
I wouldn't buy that kit unless it's all OEM Honda. For this job, use OEM parts. You don't want something to fail and messup the motor or have to go through the entire process again because something failed.

I just did my timing belt and I changed out the tensioners, spring, seals and the water pump. Why leave any reason to break open the front end again. Once is painful enough.

Not the front end, the left side of the engine.
Anyhoo, I'd make sure you replaced all the seals you could. They can be a P.I.T.A. but they are notorious for leaking and busting out causing a huuuuuge headache not to mention a nice mess.
