What else to change when changing timing belt?

Im soon about to change my timing belt, tensioner, water pump, ac belt, alternator belt, and piwer steering belt on my 00 acura integra....is there anything else that should be changed? car has about 95k miles.What else to change when changing timing belt?What do the owner's manual say? You know, that book in the glove box that answers those kinds of questions?What else to change when changing timing belt?plugs, wires, cap and rotor at that mileage.



and since you have to remove the valve cover to remove the timing cover, the valve cover gaskets. distributor o-ring gasket is a good idea. also vtec filter/gasket.What else to change when changing timing belt?That should do it. I hope you are ready to deal with the inhumanly tight crankshaft bolt. An impact wrench, rented if you have to, is definitely the way to go. My 500 ft-lb impact struggles with them.



See the sources (especially the last one) for some really good info on the subject.What else to change when changing timing belt?I'm pretty sure with that vehicle the easy way is to go through the passenger side access panel in the wheel well. And I don't believe you have to take off the valve cover.What else to change when changing timing belt?Crank and cam seals. Check the valve adjustment after that. That's about it.
