You run the risk of jumping timing (which may have already happened) and ruining the engine by having the valves smash into the pistons if the timing jumps or the timing belt breaks once that waterpump locks up.

The exact same thing happened to my friend Dan (his pump did not lock up though, and he did not jump timing) who was driving from FLA up to my house in the ATL area.

The waterpump bearing took a ****, left a shitload of slack in the timing belt, and leaked water out of it just as quickly as we could pour water into the radiator. Slapped a new belt, waterpump, and drivebelts along with the parts below and he drove it home with zero problems. He got very lucky. Seems as though some dumbshit who ownd it before him had the T-belt done with total disregard for the waterpump - big no no.

You should get this from the HONDA DEALER:

Timing belt
Water pump
Drive belts
Cam seal
Crank seal
Valvecover gasket
Sparkplug tube seals

All of those parts will be roughly $150-$180.00 depending on what discount you get. Employee cost is $112.00 from Honda - ask me how I know.

This is not a job for someone that has never worked on a car before. It is a very sensitive job that requires a working knowledge of cam timing and it's relation to timing marks and how the timing belt is set on the cam gar and crank gear.

At a shop you could have this job done for about $400-$500.00 depending on the shop.

My shop charges $460.00 parts and labor and the crank and cam seals are an additional $65.00 for parts and labor.

If you go and get a shitty aftermarket waterpump from Autozone and let some dubass try to fix it, I guarantee you will not only be worse off, but you might even get your engine destroyed.

I cannot tell you how many engines we see come in with horrible timing problems because people think they can just slap a timing belt on a car without paying attention to the timing marks.

My advice?

Buy all of those parts and have a professional Honda tech install them all at the same time.

The fact that your waterpump took a **** like that is alarming. It makes me wonder hat kind of shape the timing belt and the rest of the engine is in. That's why I suggest doing the belts and watermump and seals all at the same time. The timing belt drives the waterpump, so you always change them together.

Good luck.

go to the dealer and get a timing belt w/ the tensioner and a water pump then shop around for a affordable install.
