I am about to get a timing belt job done on my car, and will be using a honda belt, what is the best brand water pump and best tensioner and idler to use besides oem? Also what other things should I get replaced while that part will be open? is the oil pump seal around there? if so would it leak onto the oil pan and transmission cause I am seeing alot of oil leaking in that area.

 

This maybe be helpful even though it's a 3G thread - https://acurazine.com/forums/third-g...ics%2A-784622/

 

Personally I would use a Honda water pump as well as the tensioner etc

 

^+1. OEM is worth the cost, especially when it comes to this particular maintenance interval.

 

Agreed -

 

The "Aisin" t-belt kit has the same basic components as the OEM.
Check Rock Auto and other online sources for good prices on this complete "Aisin" kit.

 

I also made sure to replace both serpentine belts since everything was already apart. All of $20 for own belts on Amazon.
