[retprep]

Hey just reached 112k was reading up about having timing belt changed at 100k miles...Looked on Ebay and found this, does it seem worth a try for that $$?

Why do people buy parts on eBay for their cars? lol Just go straight OEM. Hondapartsnow.com or tasauto.com like the birdman above me already said.

I feel ya buddy! I've got two kids and go to school full time. A lot of people on here have a steady income and apparently a lot of free time.

I don't see anything wrong with buying parts off of ebay, as long as they are quality parts. It looks to me like the parts in that auction are the same ones you get from honda... could be wrong though.

Timing maintenance is one thing you don't want to use anything but OEM parts for.

Thank you Red.

I know times are tough but...Intakes, header(s), visors, lights and all the misc. whistles you can buy on eBay. But when it comes to seals, head gaskets, belts, alternators or any other crucial part, that's a big no no. Just save until you have enough. I bought a radiator & compressor off eBay 2 1/2 years ago locally here in SoCal. I think that's the only two things I bought that was critical. Aside from that, go OEM.

Why not buy quality parts off ebay?

Instead of getting this.

Why not get a Gates timing kit?

I just purchased that exact same Gates kit off ebay and installed it over the past weekend. There is nothing wrong with it. You don't get the seals that your original post included, but if you want to replace the seals I would agree that Honda is the way to go. Timing stuff, just get good parts and not weird no name brands.
