Well, if you're planning on doing the radiator hoses then you might as well do the thermostat and radiator fan switch as well. They are right there by the upper.

The a/c belt and alternator belt are one-in-the-same.

Add spark plug tube seals.

Controls vapors in the gas tank and fuel system. It's under the rear of the car on the driver's side.

Just out of habit i would check your power steering fluid and brake fluid. Never hurts to check. and i think sparkplug seals normally come with a valve cover set...lol or atleast mine did. Good luck to you!

It's a bit late for this, but, from the FAQs...

Maintenance schedules: Link


As DJ4Jesus77 mentioned, flush the power steering and brakes. Especially since it's never been done.

Fuel filter, PCV valve.

A cabin air filter wouldn't hurt, but that's not important to your engine. Mine was filled to the brim with corn, dust, pollen, and practically everything else. I'm willing to bet it had never been replaced in the duration of the car's life.

I hear that too. it is one set, you put them on at the same time...

Check this one out.. Oil pan gasket Just check it, i doubt its leaking, BUT if you are going all out its cheap
<$15 for my engine

Nope. See bkhondaparts.com. The spark plug tube seals and valve cover gasket are two different part #s, just like the older Hondas.

Lotta stuff being added that I would let be, e.g. the oil pump, PS fluid, the oil pan gasket (unless leaking), the radiator fan switch, and the fuel filter (unless it fails the test in the manual). The fuel filter is in the back of the car and not something that goes hand-in-hand with the other engine work insofar as labor is concerned.

A single belt is used to drive both the a/c compressor and the alternator. They should not be listed as two separate belts, but I suppose the OP has not looked at the drawings or engine yet.

eek! Sorry for spreading misinformation. I was under the impression that it was always a set. I guess its just hand in hand > your going to replace your Valve cover gasket, your also replacing the sparkie gaskets

Everyone, I sorry.
