My garage is full with another project, so I sent my Honda to a shop for the timing belt job.

I bought the kit from a vendor on ebay - Mizuomoto.

Big mistake. After the job was done, the crank seal started leaking oil immediately,. It was not leaking with the old seals.

The shop pulled the seal and found that it had no metal reinforcement on the inside of the seal, like the original or the one they bought from the local parts store.

This is gonna cost me a lot extra to pay the shop for this cheap quality seal.

I won't make that mistake again. Hope no one on this board does either.

Mizumoto offered a 40 dollar refund.

 

that is why i advice to use Honda parts ,,specially when doing timing belt jobs ,, you pay a little extra but it needs to be done every 80-90k miles
