Yeah I know it's not a Honda, but I'm hoping some of you can help. I'm replacing the timing belt on my mom's MDX to save her some labor costs, but I'm doing it with all OEM parts.

Engine is the J35A5 V6 and I just need a rundown of what I should and should not replace. I did the t-belt on my Accord, but that was just the 2 belts and 2 tensioners, along with the water pump.



So far I've got:

14400-RCA-A01 TIMING BELT (UNITTA) $43
14520-RCA-A01 TIMING BELT AUTO TENSIONER $88
14550-RCA-A01 TIMING BELT IDLER (TOYO SEIKO) $35
19200-RDM-A02 WATER PUMP (AISIN) $103
19222-RDM-A02 PUMP GASKET (AISIN) $2

Are those the only parts you needed for a J35 belt change? Anyone know where to get the parts cheaper?

 

Nobody?

 

Sorry, I've never messed with a V-6. I guess I would use the same sort of judgement as on a 4-cyl.

 

Bump for more info, I can see some of the techs are online

 

Swap the J35 for a K23turbo.

 

Be easier to trade it in for an RDX....
