Damn, my friend took out the timing belt and the tensior belt. That shit looks almost brand new. I have the car right now at 92k 2.3. My friend took it off, and he said, shit this thing looks like it been barely used. I looked at the new belt, and the old belt. The only differences between them is that the old one's honda letters is just very slightly faded. I guess this is the reason Y they extended the belt changing time to 100k area. Bunch of mechanics probably went, damn this belt still good, lets tell honda headquarters.

I am pretty sure that it wasn't changed previously. I got the car at 67k and been doing the maintenance since. So thumbs up to Honda on this one.

 

take the belt and turn it upside down to where the teeth are facing up then bend it u will see cracks. or atleast shiny spots

 

hey, it may look new but with him.....but you dont want it to snap.....dude....buit the power steering belt doesnt matter.....if it snaps then it snaps....you'll just have a cl that has the steering like a civic dx,vx,cx....you get the point...

 

if the timing belt snaps, say bye bye to your engine, my buddy and i were driving in his civic an dhis timing belt broke on the 99 freeway and the engine just quit and stuck and wouldnt go at all

dont wait and do it, i just bought my water pump and i am collecting parts to do the timing and the 105k milage maintenence

 

I flipped it over also, no cracks, no shinny spots. My friend did a bunch before, he said it was werid. But he did say that my water pump was very worned and needed to be replaced. It ok now, I got pretty much all the stuff replaced. The Engine should be new sounding also, had my valves adjusted.

 

does anyone know what other repairs they do for the 90k service (besides timing belt, tensioner, water pump) or is there anything else people recommend to do, like just do a tune up at the same time

 

I did a valve adjustment and tune up also. Since I had that off already, I painted my valve cover black. Then since I had it off, I changed the oil, then I got thinking, since I am draining that let me change my tranny fluid.
