for 5th gen cars it is 90K for the first one and if you had your belt changed recently the placement is good for 105K (according to Brooklyn Honda in the twin cities MN)

For the newer cars I believe that it is 105K for the 4cyl and 120K for V6 models

if that belt snaps you are gonna spend some serious cash to either replace or repair the engine. 98K should be ok on that car if you are an average driver and do not abuse it.... otherwise replace it. I believe that the belt is good for 105K for that year....

Changed mine @ 110 a little late but no biggie.
It's not too hard to do just make sure you have all the tools nad make sure you change all the parts necessary along with it and not just the timing belt

For the 6 you'll wawnt to do the tensioner, other drive belts, replace your coolant and I believe it's the cam gear seal. Once you have the water pump off you'll see why, everything is right there and might as well. I've heard stories of tensioner failure that prompted me to change mine when i was doing the Tbelt replacement. Also a good time if you want to change out your crank pulley and install cams.

thanks for the reply

the accord is a 98, so i might as well and replace all those parts you mentioned. I wont do the cams though i'll let those be as is. You guys have a place where you can buy all these parts cheap?
