Hi,

I was informed that I am leaking motor oil from the seals by my timing belt. Since I am already going to pay for labor to replace those seals, I think I am going to replace the water pump as well. In addition, to replacing the water pump, what else should I replace? I want to go down to the dealer to pick the essential parts for this replcaement.. I know they will say I have to replace a hundred parts, but if someone can give me an idea of what are the main parts you want to focus on, that would help me out a lot. I am trying to stay OEM for these replacements (and stay away from water pump kits) since it's a vital component to my engine. My car is a Honda Accord EX 4 door V6 with 111,000 miles on it.

 

Timing belt, water pump, seals, the tensioner pulley, idler pulley, and the hydraulic tensioner.

 

PAhonda nailed it. Those are the parts I would replace if I was changing seals. Especially the hydraulic tensioner and timing belt. Also if your belt has not been changed replace it. I chose the Bando belt which is OEM for the 07

Main and cam seals. Does this motor have balance shafts? And, is there a seal associated with the oil pump?
