Go OEM? 2 different prices?
I am wondering mostly on the Timing belt, should I go OEM? Parts stores around here are a little more expensive than Honda, or are the same.
I am doing a timing belt job on my 1999 Civic ex. I looked on HondaAutmotiveParts.com and their prices are as followes(this is the list price, not the price you pay, the price u pay is cheaper, the peice you pay will be in "()"'s ):
Timing Belt: $33.33 (28.13)
Tensioner: $47.83(35.87)
Spring: $4.03(3.02)
Water Pump: $80.35 (60.26)
Frank Anconna Honda here has the prices as listed:
Timing Belt: $45.00
Tensioner: $60.08
Spring: (included with tensioner)
Water Pump: $84.37

If ya use off the shelf parts on your 90k mile service, thats askin for trouble. Who says these fit perfect and your engine wont make noise?
For that little extra, on these parts it is SO worth it to go OEM. Specially as the aftermarket spring may not have the same spring rate, or something may vibrate cause its weight isnt the same.
Plus those Honda prices are pretty good.

does the tensioner and spring need to be replaced? Yeah the prices are good, especially at hondaautomotiveparts.com. Im doin this soon, my car is right below 105K which is the reccomended mileage to change it.
