Hi folks. Time to change my 95 Accord EX timing belt. When I had my teg's timing belt changed before, the tensioner was also changed. However, I could not find a "tensioner" for my Accord when I searched online. Instead, I see an "adjuster" (#10/17 in the first image below). Is this pretty much the same thing? Do I really need this changed also?




Here's my checklist of parts to change:

• Timing Belt
• Water Pump
• Thermostat
• Cam Seal(s)
• Oil Pump Seal
• Tensioner/Adjuster

 

Yes, 10 & 17 are the tensioner/idler pulleys. Whether you really need to repace them is up to you. Some people don't unless they feel some roughness in their bearings.

 

i agree with jim unless they feel rough when turning leave them alone also why not replace the crank and balance shaft seal

 

yes, i was just looking at the parts catalog and i will change the crank and balance shaft seals also. thanks, guys...it's good to know i could always rely on this forum for good info
