Water Pump

Valve Cover Seal
Spark Plug Tube Seals/Gaskets

Power Steering Belt
PB Blaster, Liquid Wrench or some kind of penetrant

I bought a kit on Ebay from a dealer that contained most of the parts listed above, probably saved a little $$ doing so..

Hope this helps

 

wow... great info... how much did it all cost you in terms of $$ for parts & time spent under the car?

 

Hopefully cheaper than Richfield-Bloomington Honda..I think they wanted $900!

I'm guessing it cost maybe a max of $350 for parts, helms and fluids.

I had the time to do it, and another Honda if I needed something mid-project.

The tools I bought for the t-belt change can be used again and again, I didn't have a problem buying them.

All in all, a great confidence-builder for me - did it over a weekend and took the time to do it right - later in the year I was rebuilding a d-series tranny, converting to MPFI on my hatch, etc etc etc!

Go to Brooklyn Park Honda (I94 and Brooklyn BLVD) they will do it for $730(V6) and about $660 (I4). These guys are the cheapest honda dealer in the twin cities area. That includes water pump, drive belts, etc

no need to replace tensioners, or spring,

I didn't replace the sping, but the tensioners cost me &lt;$50.

Well worth replacing IMO.
