eh, my factory service manual only goes up to 75k miles on the maintenance chart and it says nothing about a timing belt. In the Chilton's manual it says 90k miles.
If it's an Acura dealer then they probably know what they're talking about if they inspected it and it looks cracked or something.

Officially should be changed at 90k. But some people do it at 60k. Reason? Because it can actually break at 60k. Not often but it can. So it's safer to do. Figure 600 bucks vs thousands of dollars for a new engine. It's sorta like changing the oil. Manual says 7500 miles but everyone does it at 3000.

I got the maintenance schedule from Acura and it say to change @ 90K miles on cars before 1996. I can't give much info about it, cause I don't know about timing belts or water pumps too much. All I know is Acura certified maintenance schedule says 90K for that stuff.
