i have a 91 accord ex well when i bought the car at 158,000 miles that was in may of 2006. it had overheating problem when i diagnosed it myself there was no water circulation so i started with my water pump thermostat meantime i did the timing belt. now i have almost 211,000 when should i be changing my timing ? AT 218,000? because that would 60,000 miles, i realy dont wanna snap my timing belt. i do lots of freeway driving. so please if someone can tell me something helpful about this.


Johnny..

for the older honda accords, they (timing belt and wtr pump) are changed every 90,000 miles.... no need to do it sooner, unless most of your miles are city.....

welcome aboard.... :wave:

yesssssssssss!! you just made my day now i can use that money for something else maybe upgrade the wheels !! :) thanks a lot man

If you use Honda timing belt 90K.... if you use most after market 60K.

Water pumps are generally done at the same time.

The freeway or not may not make much difference on belt wear.... it's time. They can get brittle in less miles, but more time on the calendar. If there's any oil spilled or leaked on it.... ASAP is the rule of thumb. :)

Welcome & good luck!! :wave:
