Default What happens when I don't replace my belts?

My integra has 134,125 miles and I haven't replaced the belts. What will happen? How do I make my motor run like new?
What do I replace? I have a b18b.

It depends on what belt. The timing belt is by far the most important. Yours has almost certainly been changed at least once. If it breaks it causes quite a bit of damage. As far as the other belts go, visually inspect them for cracks, dryness, or other wear. If the belt looks bad then replace. You won't make your motor run like new but it is one of those piece of mind things if you are driving somewhere and your altenator belt breaks.

I'd replace the timing belt for sure if it hasn't been replaced since you have over 90k miles. You don't want it to snap and destroy your valvetrain.
