My CL-s is coming up on 95k miles and i want to start getting ready to replace the timing belt, water pump, oil pump (if needed) ive worked on honda B-series motors for several years and thinking of doing the service myself. What is everyonese thought on that? I have a place to do the service on the car, all the tools and an ASE mechanic friend that would be helping me out.

Couple questions:

1. Where should i buy the new parts? online im sure is cheaper, i need part numbers to order off a site, who can help me out with that?

2. When exactly?? ive heard from anywhere b/w 90k-105k miles to replace these parts.

3. Specs? anyone have a scaned page of a helms to help me out?

4. Anything i should look out for?

Thanks to everyone that replies

 

Timing belt and water pump are done at 105k, but you can do it early. I have read that it is easy to do but it is the disassembly and reassemble that takes most of the time.

I believe there are a couple more fluid flushes that take place with these services as well. Also, since you're doing the timing belt and water pump change the belts as well, these should be $45 at the most.
