can any one recommend a good timing belt for my 89 crx? i definitely want a good one. thanks a lot

 

OEM

 

Stock motor...any T-Belt will do. OEM is the best.

Maybe Greddy makes one? They are really good belts but I doubt it for a D16A6.

 

so if i buy a third party timing belt, would i need a timing belt kit or just a new timing belt?

 

Just buy an OEM timing belt from honda, have it installed correctly along with the cam seal, crank seal and water pump so you don't have to worry about that area again for some 90k miles. OEM belt is all you need because Honda T-belts are awesome quality!!!

 

A third party one will do the trick. I've used them on D series and they do last 100XXXkms, roughly 60XXX miles. Now, when you are doing a t-belt. Replace all the seals on that side and the waterpump since you already have that whole thing apart. OEM is the best for D series but it all depends on how much you care about your engine. On my D series, I feel no regret using regular third party stuff.

 

OEM is $52 or something, I have no idea how much 3rd party is. Just FYI.

 

spoon t belt

 

how much would the water pump be if the timing belt is changed too?

Seems a little pricey! Also seems a bit overkill to just change your tensioner w/ your belt, I know they can go bad but it must be very rare because I have yet to see a tensioner need replacement so why blow your money???? Just go to Honda and p/u the Belt and water pump along with cam and crank seal, THATS IT no fancy package needed Just reaplce what Honda does when they do a Timing belt.

OEM parts are the best in my mind

Just go to your Local honda dealer because it ranges from dealer to dealer. We have 3 dealers around here and 3 different prices depending on which one you go to. Just go to your Honda and get the right prices
