to be honest, in my experience, honda parts work best....

aftermarket parts don't peform as well, and i have owned hondas for a long time.... :yes:

IMHO, you are better off getting genuine honda parts moreso than anything else, for longevity and longterm reliability... :)

what is a good site with honda oem timing belt kits and water pumps?

the kit i have up top says it's an oem kit but the brand is not honda?

ok i have googled it over and over and have not found a honda oem timing belt kit except on ebay but i am not trusting them on a thing that important.

Just use OEM parts...don't give yourself a headache thinking about when the belt is going to break to save a few bucks.

I'm getting ready to replace my timing belt as well and my dad works with the parts i need. Him and my grandfather both said that Gates is the product to get because Gates makes hondas OEM belts. So that covers the timing belt. Hope it helped.
