I know it's a stupid newbie question, but search isn't working for me.

I remember people talking about timing belts braking on GSRs at a certain mile, but I can't remember if it is 60K or 90K.

Any help would be appreciated.

The manual says to change it at 90 but I could swear I've heard 60 come up.

 

I have heard 90k too.

 

Change it at 90k at the latest.

 

Remembering back when I still cared about my Acura dealer service schedule it was 60k for the GSR and 80k for the LS/GS/RS. I changed mine at 80k. The belt was still in great shape, not to worn or stretched. Remember to change the water pump if you do it yourself.

 

i changed mine at 104k, yes I have 110k miles on my 98!

 

90k... Dealers that say 60k are in it for the $$$$.

 

lol....I bought my 94gsr with 108.5k miles on it. The previous owner DID NOT replace the timing belt, so once I bought it. Replaced the timing belt/water asap after buying the car.

I guess the timing belt can last pass 100k depending on the way you drive.

 

Well I wish that 90K was true, my timing belt took a crap at 74K and my mechanic had been telling me to replace it ever since after 60K, so to be on the safe side and to prevent from getting stranded, I'd suggest you guys change it at 70K. I just replaced the timing belt on my Civic as well and it had 73K and the belt was in great shape, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

 

60k is right on.


the 60k prevents failure and also increases Acura brand name product reliability standings in consumer reports.. if you replace the timing belt at 60k like most acura gsr owners will do, they of course will have less failures and will look much more reliable on paper.. nice eh?
damn number crunchers!

 

belt should be changed every 60k but if u have bigger cams u should change it a bit soons cuz they put more stress on tthe belt

 

How much do the timing belts run? My motor has about 50k on it now. Also, how much does the water pump run?

 

timing belt is gonna run you around $60 and the water pump around $90. These are for the Honda OEM parts.. The non OEM is significantly cheaper. Anyone know if it's worth the extra price for the OEM?

 

the parts may be cheap, but having someone install it for you! $$$

 

Parts are cheap.....the labor installing it is what cost a **** load of $$$$$$$
