When is the timing belt changed on Honda Accord ?

I have a Honda Accord with 114,000. I don't know when was the timing belt changed last time. What are the recommended miles for timing belt change?When is the timing belt changed on Honda Accord ?Honda recommends changing them every 105,000 mi/168,000 km or 7 years, which ever comes first.



When you change the timing belt you should change the water pump as well.When is the timing belt changed on Honda Accord ?You can check its condition by removing the valve cover and the upper timing cover. Make sure you have a new valve cover gasket set on hand.When is the timing belt changed on Honda Accord ?Depending upon the year, T-belt should be changed anywhere from 90,000 to 105,000 miles or every 5 to 7 years. If you don't know when it was done I'd change it. Honda motors are very unforgiving when the T-belt breaks. They're an interference motor which means they bend valves and cause serious engine damage when the belt breaks. If you have it done you should change the water pump, tensioner, T-belt, and cam/crank seals if they are leaking. You also may want to change your A/C,Alt.,P.S. belts as well because they have to be removed to do the job. Good luck and Hope this helps. With Honda T-belts it's have it done and pay for it now, or wait and pay ALOT later.....
