timing belt change

To be direct with you, it makes logical sense to go ahead and get the car with your mechanic for the waterpump and timing belt change 400 to 500 range (at least for me with my mech in florida)

The most I have seen a timing belt go unchanged was 104K

Im sure that car had it done at least once withing that 170K if not something is bound to be wearing bad (most likely the waterpump)

For the amount compared to the investment, it just plain worth it to to it right away.

The thing that blows my mind is I have seen belts out of Legends with over 100K on them and they look branny new to me with no cracks for splits (sounds like a shampoo add huh)


If Honda went with the chain, we would not have to worry as much.

Belt should set you back 70 bucks new, also look on ebay for a deal. The waterpump gets worse in price! but its all included in the price. Also check on all your other belts and maybe the Pulley bearing which sometimes goes bad.
