well the gsr is about to hit 90k miles and the timing belt is way over due.
i found a kit with a belt made by Goodyear/Bando and a water pump made by GMB/NPW for 95 bucks....can some one give me there 2 cents on these products? thanks.

 

ah and i almost forgot the tensioner bearing is made by Koyo/GMB

 

Hmm, maybe I should check mine.... Im at 78k right now......hahahahahaha

Goodyear is a good name though. They make the belts for our Fire Engines

 

i have been extreamly lucky so far with how many miles are on my car. i dont want to push my luck.....still spot less under the hood and i havnt had to clean it. dont want to have every thing go at once on me

 

105k is factory spec for a changeout. That is to be on the safe side too, my bro went to 115k with his and it still looked good when he had it replaced.

 

90k is the factory recommended interval.

Mine was pulled at 119k and had a rip halfway through the belt. Another 1/4" and it would have been history. Do NOT procrastinate.

 

Those are reputable brands, but I'm more of a fan of OEM when it comes to that stuff.

 

90K is the service interval for a timing belt and water pump, not 115k. Don't go cheap on a belt, go OEM...nothing fits like OEM, and they are only around 50 bucks or so. I got a timing belt kit from www.prostreetonline.com with a water pump and tensioner.

 

I would get OEM right from the dealer. If it aint in a Honda bag, I wouldnt use it in terms of timing belt/water pump. Thats just me.

 

For what year? I have a 99, and at 75k I went to the dealer with a list of things to get done. Timing belt, water pump, belts etc. The service mgr. brought me into his little shack there at the front of the dealer and showed the interval of 105k. So that is how I cam up w/that number. I assume the serv. mgr. knew what he was talking about, otherwise he shouldn't be a serv. mgr.
