when to replace timing belt?
Hi. Got a 2000 Accord V6 at 105K miles, which is when the owner's manual says to replace the timing belt. Does anyone have experiences with successfully waiting longer to change it? What is realistic in terms of usable life for these belts? Thanks a lot.

i replaced water pump/timing belt, tensioner, seals, at 123,000 on my 95 accord ex. I was so worried since i wanted to do it much earlier and kept fearing a break. I never abuse the car.
Make sure to use genuine honda parts on this repair. Honda water pumps are high quality pumps

i heard from some where that the belts cant ever snap really, and are made to anti-stretch to help keep timing accurate. The only thing they can do is deteriarate?
