i just wanted to kno around..how many miles should i do it!! previous owner did not tell me when he changed it the first time, i currently have 110k right now!!
its a 97accord lx!!

 

like every 80,000 ..

 

do you have an owner's manual?

 

nah, don't have an owner's manual

 

The Severe schedule for my 96 Accord is 60K and normal is 90K.

 

Same for my 95. 90K is when it's supposed to be done. I actually did my first right about 96K and then again here recently at around 186K or so.

If you've got 110K and you don't know or if there is no records, I would go ahead and have it done. It's not cheap but it will potentially save your engine.

 

At least have it inspected. At 110K there will be a difference between the condition of an original belt and one that was done around 20-30k ago.

 

i have a 97 accord ex. the manual says 105k so i would suggest do it now. if you are doing your timing belt you might as well do the water pump as well because it is right there... if you dont have like 600 bucks to do both at least have a mechanic or check it yourself to see if its getting brittle...

 

I had mine done recently with my 96 Accord and it was 600 dollars. Not a bad deal, they changed the balance, timing, radiator flush, water pump, and adjusted my vavles. Also my Accord was under an Emissions recall I post earlier and got that done. Good deal

The guy I bought my Accord said he had the TB done a few years ago. When I bought the car it has 60K miles, 2 years ago, so I figured now it has 96K, I would get it done, cause I didnt know how long a few years ago was...I figured it was cheaper than if it broke. When I got the parts back, the old timing belt didnt look too good.

 

Had my 95 Accord done at 95k. Don't wait too long, a messed up timing belt will damage your engine. Got mine done for $450 by a Honda/Acura non-dealer repair shop in Round Rock, TX.
