27,000 posts, and 90,000 miles later I think it's about time for me to change my timing belt.

What do you guys think about this kit?

Reliable, or is it better to dish it out for the Genuine Honda belt?

TOO MUCH TORQUE

for something like a timing belt...go with OEM or something well known like GATES, its not worth a belt snapping and then neding to have your head rebuilt...

Yeah for sure.

What all do you recommend changing along with it?

water pump and tensioner if it doesnt come with it.

other than those two, pretty much it.

Is this all I should change?

Timing Belt (Part No. 14400-P08-004)

Tensioner (Part No. 14510-P08-003)

Water Pump (Part No. 19200-P08-003)

Anything else?

Total comes out to $150.46 shipped from Majestic Honda.

I am going to need a new timing belt soon.

since you're in there you might aswell change cam and crank seals.

Just got my income tax refund back so I am about to order all the stuff. Haha.

Dang... How will I know if it does or not before I order? It's straight from Honda.

Also, do you recommend anything else before I order everything?

GO TO HONDA FOR TIMING PARTS... JUST MY OPINION... HONDAPARTSUNLIMITED.COM IS ONE HELL OF A WEBSITIE... DISCOUNTED HONDA PART CANT BEAT THAT

It more than likely will, if not you could go to your local auto parts store and pick one up. I can't think of any more parts you would need, if you really want to just put a new part in though, maybe a new timing belt cover.

Finally ordered all the stuff.

I know you said you already ordered your stuff but thougt I'd share this anyway.

You can get an exact OEM belt and tensioner from the supplier that actually makes them for Honda for a lot less. The Honda belt is actually a Gates (~$23 on Amazon vs. $31 Majestic Honda) and the tensioner is made by NSK (~$27 on Amazon vs. $45 at Majestic Honda). These aren't OEM-similar, they are exactly OEM, just not sold in a Honda package.
