Timing Belt Kit for '98 2.3 EX
Hi there,
I am relatively new to the forum and I need some assistance. I need to do the timing belt job on my '98 2.3L EX and I am looking for someplace that sells a kit with the belt, pulley, tensioner, etc...
Can someone point me to a reputable place where I can order it? Thanks.

A haynes/helms shop manual would give you a step by step.
It is recommended you have some mechanical background.
I will tell you honestly that it is something I have never done, and don't look forward to doing myself. I will/have pull the engine out of my car no problem, but that is something I don't want to mess with, because if you mess up the consequences arent so good.

Thanks for the advice but I am pretty mechanically inclined and have done TBelt jobs before on so this is something I can tackle. I just want to have all the resources in from of me from the pioneers that have done this before to make sure I have all the parts I need to replace while I am in there and see what nuances this job may have that others don't.

use Honda factory parts,, you don't have to do it again for at least another 90k miles
get a t-belt, balancer belt, valve cover gasket, cam seal, balancer shaft seal, bal shaft seal retainer ( yes install one ) crank seal.water pump, coolant ....as for the tensioner spin it when you have it out if it is noisy replace it ,,,,,I have done lots of t-belts and 99.9 percent i have reused the tensioner with no problem if it is noisy or you got the extra money than go ahead and replace it , alt + p/s belts.. that should be it ..

Does this write-up work pretty close for a '98?
