Default Time to replace the timing belt

I now have 90,000 miles on my 02 civic coupe lx and I am going to replace the timing belt myself. I know I need to replace the tensioner, cam and crank seals, valve cover gaskets, all accessory belts and water pump but is there anything else that should be purchased as well? Also is there a DIY tutoral available to assist?

TIA

Jay

Just keep in mind that the tensioner is not your traditional Honda. It's an eccentric type tensioner. Be careful when removing the tensioner bolt, they sometimes pull the threads out of the block.
