90,000 major maintenance
I'm coming up to 90,000 miles soon and I'm going to order the parts I need.
What items should I get OEM, and what can I safely go with an aftermarket brand?
Here's the list:
1) Timing Belt *
2) Water Pump
3) Timing Belt Tensioner
4) Timing Belt Tensioner Spring *
5) Distributor Cap
6) Distributor Rotor
7) Valve Cover Gasket
8) Valve Cover Washer Seals
9) Spark Splug Seals
10) PCV Valve
11) Fuel Filter *
12) Spark Plugs *
The * Items I'm thinking of going OEM and the rest aftermarket to save money.
What do you think?
I'm kind of torn with the water pump. The price difference between OEM and aftermarket (NPW http://img.eautopartscatalog.c...W.JPG , or ATS brand http://img.eautopartscatalog.c...S.JPG ) is $60.

Nope.. The tensioner spring connects to the tensioner. If you look at the picture, the bolt goes through the middle of the tensioner and the spring connections to the eyelet. I know on my civic, theres only one eyelet. I have to check the helms to see why this one shows two eyelets.
The spring is only a few bucks, so I might as well replace that too while I'm at it.
So I guess so far the consensus is, I should skimp on the water pump eh?
Any of you running a non-OEM water pump?

All OEM honda & Acura parts.
About 25% cheaper then your local Honda or Acura dealer parts dept. If I were you, I would order the parts from the site. Shipping is really reasonable too.

One eyelet fits over a pivot pin. The other one is for the tensioner spring.
