My head gasket was blow the other day, and so now i am replaicing it. what other gaskets should be replaced while i am at it? my mechanic says that intake gasket and the valave cover gasket should be replaced. is it necessary to replace the exhaust gasket as well?
i am also conidering to change the timing belt as well, but i found out that the accord has two, which are $40 each at the dealer, but the auto parts store are selling them for $23 each. I am on a tight budget, so i was wondering what is your opinions on changing this? should i just wait and get the honda or can i get the one at the auto parts store?

 

Replace both those gaskets and use only honda parts. Your mechanic isn't bullshitting you on this one.

how many miles on your accord? timing belt/water pump should be replaced at 90K so if you replacing the timing belt mine as well replace the water pump same some money and time in the long run

 

Also the timing belt I got at the local parts store was made by Goodyear. I would surely hope that that is a name you can trust...
