new timing belt?
I just recently got a 1996 Integra GS-R a little over a month ago at 217,000kms. I was wondering when I should change the timing belt and water pump? I hear that it should be changed every 90,000miles (144,000kms) I'm now at 220,000kms so I'm not sure if I need to change or not. I read somewhere I should change it at 70,000 miles (120,000kms) if I'm driving it under heavy conditions. So should I be changing it at 288,000kms or 240,000kms? And if I do change the belt I should change the water pump as well?

alright I'm going to change it. Are there anything else I should change?
I'm on a tight on cash right now. Anyone know any places around the GTA to get it done for a decent price. How much should I expect to pay for all these. |
you will need:
coolant, waterpump, timing belt, tensioner & spring it wouldn't hurt for a new thermostat and radiator cap, but it is not neccissary. |
I'm thinking I can change the radiator cap, rotors, spark plugs, plug wires, and oil filter myself. I just want to know what parts I should tell the mechanic to change also with the timing belt while his in there. The other components that I can change myself I'll change later unless I get a good price on the labour.
Can anyone link me to a website so I can order these parts online for cheaper that ships to Canada as well. It's going to be a lot more expensive if I get these parts at the dealer isn't it? |

GET IT DONE - least get it checked. I got my timing done and they notice my belt was off by a tooth. Threw my valves into whack and gave mad hesitation.
