Default Changing timing belt, what else should I do?

I am going to replace the timing belt, drive/acc belts, and my water pump. Are there any other components I should replace while I'm in there?

Thanks

Check the engine mount while you have it off.

timing belt tensioner

Check the cam seals and front main seal on the oil pump for leaks/weeping.

Does it have a tendency to wear out?

I have yet to see one fail on a Honda, nor do want to.

It is a bearing and a wear item. Replace if it's high mileage.

I gotcha, cheap insurance. So should I do mine now @ 70k or should I wait till the next timing belt replacement @ 140k?

Change it at 70k. I really can't justify either way, but you'll have better peace of mind if you change it now, rather than later.

if you have the money get some ITR or aftermarket cams while the timing belt is off.

do the valve adjustment while you have the valve cover off.
