Best Timing belt for Honda Civic
I'm running one in my mildly modified 93 civic and it's fine. No leaks or noises.
I had a 2002 Honda civic at 230K and never changed the timing belt.
Thats a gates replacement,done at the required distance.,100k
Use a genuine Honda belt if you decide to replace it, a new auto parts store belt will likely fail before that old Honda belt.
That's a gates timing belt which is a high quality aftermarket belt. It is not OEM and has been replaced. It looks like it was replaced at around 100k miles which is spot on.
You could use a Gates timing belt, they're great quality.
I paid a dealer $1400 to replace timing belt, tensioner, water pump and front main seal several years ago. Pricy, but in a HCOL metro.
Turns out I did not tighten the bolts enough on the intake cam gear. A couple came very loose or out. Tore up the timing belt, the cam gear and valve cover.
There is a fault with these engines! The belt starts to break up prematurely, clogging up the oil galleries inside the engine! First sign of this starting to happen is your turbo starts to get louder, then siezes. Happened mine just outside of warranty (42k miles). Luckily honda footed the bill and replaced the engine.
