Default QUESTION ABOUT TIMING BELT???

HELP DONT KNOW ANY THING ABOUT THIS!!

I WANTED TO KNOW IF THERE WAS A DIFFERENCE IN TIMING BELTS? I'VE HEARD OF A CONTI TECH TIMING BELT ARE THEY ANY GOOD? IF SO I CAN GET ONE WITH THE TIMING BELT, BALANCE SHAFT BELT, T BELT TENSIONER AND BALANCE SHAFT BELT TENSIONER FOR $160.00.

WOULD IT BE A GOOD IDEA TO CHANGE ALL OF THIS AT THE SAME TIME ALONG WITH THE TIMING BELT? AND WOULD THERE BE ANY THING ELSE IT'LL BE GOOD TO CHANGE AT THAT TIME?

THANK YOU

I was unaware that they have chain set-ups for the H22 or H23 blocks.

Stick with Honda OEM belts; they're meant to last. I've tried other belts in the past and they've failed much earlier than the OEM's did.

OEM Honda for important stuff like timing belts and tensioners (from personal experience)

i second doing the water pump when you change the belts. Also a good time to change crank seal, balance shaft seal, and cam seals.

How about Gates? I recently had to redo mine and the dealer was out of stock. I bought a Gates a few months ago. No problems so far.

Gates is a very good brand name for belts

Probably not much worse than Honda, if any.
