Parts would be your preference really.. There are some vendors here that put together a kit.. I. Did this job last Friday and also included the engine mounts just to get the car feeling completely new..

 

thanks for the quick reply. how much did u spend in parts?

 

For the timing kit it should be around 300..

I spent much more because I included all engine mounts..

 

Do you have a link where i could get this kit and also if you can send me the info on the mounts i would prob do it to just to be safe.

 

No link my friend, i just sat down in http://www.acuraautomotiveparts.org, took note of all the parts I needed and sent for quote..

I didnt buy a kit, made a list a while ago and sent to my Acura parts source.. Iwill search my email and if I find it I will post it here..

Search is your best friend, if you try searching here directly in the forum and dont get results try searching in google for the topic and add acurazine at the end and usually that pops up..

 

Search amazon for the Aisin TKH-002 kit and then you will need two camshaft seals and a crankshaft seal and a serpentine belt too. This was the best kitI could find with quality parts. It is like $170.

 

Alright thanks guys

 

Here are the parts that I replaced during my 105K:

(TKH-002)
Timing Belt
Timing Belt Tensioner
Timing Belt Adjuster
Timing Belt Idler
Water Pump w/ Gasket

Spark Plugs
Drivebelt
Thermostat
Head Cover Gasket Set
Cam Seals
Crank Seal
Lower Radiator Hose
Upper Radiator Hose

I also had the brake fluid flushed, and the transmission fluid changed since the maintenance history of the car was unknown when I picked it up.

 

thanks i lot . def will be getting this parts soon.

 

When replacing the mounts do you guys prefer oem or aftermarket?

 

Am gonna buy aftermarket ones from one of the vendors here.

 

This is what i did, now mine was for a type s so some parts could vary

I had them do a whole system coolant flush, timing belt water pump the 3 major pulleys and tensioner, serpentine belt, power steering fluid flush and change out, a tranny fluid 1x3, valve adjustment, cabin filter, air filter , oil change, Spark plugs, thermostat, upper and lower radiator hoses, valve cover gaskets, crank shaft gasket, cam seal gaskets, both intake manifold gaskets and I think that is it.

Gates thermostats - 33914 170* one
Gates water pump timing belt kit - tckwp329
Spark plugs 6 - izfr6k11
3 gallons type 2 honda coolant plus 1 bottle of royal purple ice coolant additive

If you do decide to go aftermarket, keep in mind that there may be an increase in NVH.

 

thanks for the info Sbarbee54. thats what am looking to do. do you know how much you spend in parts?

 

Thanks for the info too Sbarbee54. Just what I needed to start on my maintenance as well.

You can pick a Gate's full timing belt kit with water pump for $130.99, You can spend $177.79 for AISIN kit. Which I've read they make if not all the Honda oem components, but a majority of them.

I personally have a $131.99 Gate's kit with 15k on it so far. Absolutely no issues. In fact my car seems smoother since the crank mark off of the cam mark.
