My engine is being rebuilt right now at inline pro and I am trying to do as much preventive maintenance as possible while the engine is out. So far, majestic honda and inline have suggested I buy the following parts:

-timing belt
-balancer belt
-water pump
-all accessory belts
-cam seals

Is there anything else I should replace at the same time? I assume inline will take care of replacing all the gaskets and such. Any other advice?

 

get:

ACL bearings.
ProDrive Oil Gear.
GSR/TypeR Oil Pump

 

if your just doing maintanence stuff then this is the list i got, im about to doa tune up soon also.

Spark plugs
Radiatior cap
Radiator hose
i believe there is a gasket for the water pump.
cap and rotor.
spark plug wires.

I guess you dont need all these parts....just depends on how worn your parts are. Might as well tho right? since the engine is out.

 

oil pump, valve stem seals, all new gaskets and seals throughout. That'd take care of all of it. There is no gasket for the waterpump, just some good ole hondabond

 

I already have the prodrive gear. My oil pump only has 68k on it so I think it should be fine. I had portflow put in new valve stem seals, so I think everything is taken care of. Thanks for the help.

 

just buy the upper and lower gasket kit, T-belt and all drive belts, bearings, head studs, oil pump, clutch ( if you need replace or almost time.).....and while you;re at it...add an LSD just for the hell of it..hehehehehe

 

To add to all of the above mentioned. I plan on also buying a new timing belt tentioner pulley and spring. That thing makes me nervous as hell--if it comes loose say goodbye to the motor.
New throw-out and pilot bearings for the tranny side of things.

also those damn dowel pins..hehe

don't skimp out...do it all at one time...it's a PITA to take it apart again and redo it again...not too mention a chance you'll be taking with half *** rebuild...

 

If you need OEM parts I can hook you up.

when replacing your oil pump and water pump do yall use just oem or do yall buy from some where else?

 

oem. upgrading the oil pump gear is what's commonly done, you can also upgrade to an electric water pump if you have it like that.

 

I am going to stick with the same head studs b/c the engine has never been taken apart before and inline said they would be fine. I am getting a quaife at the same time and going from a clutchnet stage 2 to a cm stage 4.

 

Get new head studs, or have ARP make you a custom set. I had bad luck reusing old head studs.

 

stock head studs tend to "streched" after being taken out once, ARPare meant to be taken out time and time again..
