I'll hit about 217 000km when i will replace my belt on my 2001 accord. it will be the first time i change it!! I"ve been lucky, but i wont push it further hehe

So far i plan on changing:

Timing belt
Balancer shaft belt
Water pump

+Coolant flush

Is there anything i'm forgetting, or that's not mentionned in my honda factory manual? Like the tensionner..? Of course only for the t-belt "job".

Of course i will be changing other things (bushings, intalling my koni's and H&R, bleeding brake fluid, ect..) but that's a whole other story!

Thanks for your help and comments

 

New thermostat? (since you're gonna flush coolant)
New valvecover gasket? (it'll be off, what if it doesn't re-seal)

Neither one is absolutely necessary, but how old are they?

 

Well my valvecover gasket is somewhat old, but i'll be replacing it. I kind of have in mind what i'll be replacing, but it's more in the "timing belt" area where i'm not sure. I've already heard about people replacing the tensionner when they do a swap, but i'm not sure if i should when i'm just replacing the t-belt kit.. Even if i'm already @ 216k km..

Of course i'll be changing the thermostat too, but thanks for reminding me hehe

 

I didn't replace the tensioner when I did the belts. But when it's out, spin it & inspect it real good. If it's got even a little wobble or anything other that real smooth operation, then replace it. Even a little problem is gonna grow within the next 90k miles.

 

alright i'll make sure i check everything out!

thanks
