I wouldn't go cheap on a timing belt. One of those snaps on you and you are most likely screwed.

You should use genuine Honda MTF.

Only go OEM. Aftermarket cheapy belts have a tendancy to not fit so well. Get an oem belt...they are only like 50 bucks.

if u like your car at all, go OEM...if the belt snaps, u're gonna blow the head (under different circumstances, and with the right girl, that phrase would mean good things) you dont want that...i bought a 95 integra LS 5 speed with 135K miles on it for 2500 bucks as a project car...14 hours after i bought it, the timing belt snapped, bent 8 valves...so now the car is getting a full JDM ITR head (head, cams, valvetrain, lost motion assemblies, Skunk 2 intake manifold, ITR throttle body, AEM V2 CAI) for an LS/VTEC swap...i had planned to do that anyway, but not this soon...im at 80k on my accord, the timing belt doesn't need to be changed till 90k, but im getting it done tomorrow cuz the teg thing has me scared now

I think both Goodyear and Gates make them and they are both good. I'm not sure who makes the OEM belts for Honda but it could be one of them.
