as far as I remember most Honda oem belts are gates.
I used the Gates blue Kevlar belt on my F22, had no issues with it for tue 55k it was on.

Before you just throw parts back in it, be sure to inspect your pistons, guides, and valve seating area for damage. But yes, gates timing belts are decent.
