    what seals/gaskets to replace when doing timing belt and water pump?

    this weekend im hoping that ambers car is going to get its water pump leak taken care of, and since we are down there, it makes sense to do the timing belt as well...

    what extra seals or things will i need to buy, and is there anything else we should look into other than the pulley tensioner?

    thanks for your advices.

    make sure you dont need a front main seal or cam seal. If you did you would see alot of oil running down the side of the head and block in the timing cover, possibly getting all over the belt and stuff. Other than that, i cant think of anything, but it would be good to get a honda water pump, i wasted an aftermarket one in less than 30k miles...

    shit i wish i had searched earlier and got all the info about NOT getting an aftermarket pump. the one i DO have has a lifetime warrenty, but i am sure i dont wanna keep switching them...

    pretty sure cam seals are still good, but i will triple check.

    thanks man
