Icon5 Things to replace when replacing Water Pump and Timing Belt

I'm going to replace my water pump and timing belt soon but I'd like to know everything else I should replace as well for preventive maintenance!

Any kind of suggestions would be greatly appreciated

I have a 1995 Acura Integra LS

Damn, really??
I bought a Gates Timing Belt Water Pump kit:
GATES 90-95 Acura Integra 1.8L L4 Timing Belt Water Pump Kit TCKWP OE Engine vb | eBay

Is it bad that I got that one? I heard Gates was reliable and I saw the price cut so I bought it

buy GENUINE HONDA parts. You can find them much cheaper online.

Also get.......
-- oil pump seal
-- timing belt tensioner
-- AC belt
-- PS belt
-- cam sprocket seals
-- cam seal (in front of the distributor)

Cam seal is the only thing I would recommend to go aftermarket on or actually I believe it is called a cam plug though

agreed. The stock ones do suck because it's just like a plastic center cap that doesn't really seal well, even new. The original one that came with the car was so much better. The newer models were redesigned but not as effective IMO.

Ok I have gathered up the parts you guys recommended to me in my cart on eBay/Amazon. I want to make sure they are good, would greatly appreciate further input! Here they are:

Oil Pump Seal- 91212-PR3-003 ALL 90-01 INTEGRA ALL B-SERIES OEM HONDA OIL PUMP SEAL | eBay

AC Belt- https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000C2UK0Q/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

Power Steering Belt- https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GDA56YG/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

Cam Seal- https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00728H48Y/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=AFCK09M9VCUCF&psc=1


Also, I have no idea what cam sprocket seals are. Couldn't find them so I left them out for now.

+1 on going for genuine Honda parts. Especially for such a critical area. I've seen a third party water pump bearing fail and it threw the belt and the engine made expensive noises and died.

If its not from an online Honda/Acura dealer its probably not oem. I've seen fake oem toyota parts floating around and there is also a thread about it on most toyota forums. Be warned.

I looked for OEM parts on the Acura dealership website and https://www.acurapartswarehouse.com..nothing came up. I'll just have to buy what I have gathered up.

DO NOT BUY car parts from Amazon. Most of the items are OEM equivalent, which isn't Genuine Honda.

If I can't find the parts on the Acura websites, where am I supposed to find them? The Power Steering Belt is listed as "Genuine Acura..." while the AC Belt is Gates. I don't see the problem.

Maintenance parts such as belts and seals are readily available on those sites. Some of the sellers on Amazon do sell Genuine Honda parts, most do not. If you look around, factory timing belts are about the same price as Gates or Goodyear.


This is where I usually get my Honda parts from....

All parts are not discontinued, you probably need to carefully search the parts diagram for what you need.
