Hi guys, first of all, pleasure to be a new member of the forum.

I'm getting the timing belt done on my 1996 Accord LX, and I have a few questions about parts, and where to shop. I won't be doing the install myself, but I do need to buy ALL necessary parts for my mechanic.

1. When changing out the timing belt, I understand a few things get done like replacing the water pump. I heard a few other things need to be done too but I don't know the exact technical terms, I believe it's along the lines of crank shaft, or cam seals (don't know if that even makes sense). Anyway, that's my first question, what parts do I need to buy for my mechanic when performing a timing belt change?

2. Is it best to buy online? If so, what are the best online stores to buy these specific parts from?

All other advice on purchasing parts or anything would be greatly appreciated!

Respectfully,
Shane

 

T-belt, counterbalance Belt, Cam seal, Crank seal, Front counterbalance shaft seal,
Front counterbalance shaft seal RETAINER [if not already installed]
Also change whats called the 'oil pump seal'.
Water pump, one gallon of Fresh Coolant and it's a great time to put in a new T-stat because all the coolant will be out, and a new T-stat is really cheap insurance.
Here's a web address;

Don't forget the water pump (I see you mentioned but Hondadude did not.) Some people like to go ahead & replace the tensioners too. I didn't have mine done at 104k, but I will do them next time at 210k.
Genuine Honda parts for this. The site hondadude linked is the cheapest I have found on the net (but I haven't looked in a while.)

 

Huh?
Please have your eyeglasses prescription checked.

 

Woops... I did miss it. My bad

 

Thanks for the info guys.

One last question, what is the quantity (besides the obvious ones, 1 timing belt, 1 water pump) of each item? Gonna order right now.
