There is no way he got OEM parts for that price, unless he is getting them at dealer cost. A lot of people buy the Aisin kit and call it "OEM" if they buy a part that is manufactured by the same supplier as OEM. This is what most people are installing, only the bolts are truly OEM Honda branded, but the Aisin kit uses parts that the OEM uses.

$164.00 - Aisin TKH002 from Rock Auto
$ 22.00 - Bando 6PK2135 Belt from Amazon (B000CMCNJC)
$ 8.42 - Bolt Timing Belt Adjuster (4513-RCA-A01) OEM
$ 6.50 - Bolt Timing Belt Idler (14551-RCA-A01) OEM
$ 2.70 - QTY (2) Bolt Flange (6X30) for tensioner (95801-06030-07) OEM

$205 plus shipping, and applicable taxes.

I know I'm replying to a post from over a year ago, but I'm wondering where you found OEM parts for such a low price. I just looked up all the parts and they're $450, and that's checking with multiple online parts retailers.

Rockauto.com has good prices and quality parts.

Rock Auto doesn't sell Genuine Honda Parts.

Genuine Honda parts aren't necessarily made by Honda themselves, they are manufactured by outside vendors. If you're in the market for timing belt kits along with the water pump seals etc. look into Aisin, Gates, Mitsuboshi etc. These parts won't be Honda branded.

This could be a great supplement for any first time DYI timing belt people. I love Eric the Car Guy videos so I am a bit biased. Also, this is J series V6 is in an Accord, but for all intents and purposes he motors are basically the same (especially in how the actual timing belt gets removed/installed). The splash guards, the motor mount, maybe the PS pump are different, but once those are out of the way, it should be near identical.

For another resource, I am a huge fan of South Main Auto... this is a great video I used for guidance when doing my timing belt.

HI everyone- I need an opinion, I have 2005 with 120K, I replaced the timing belt in 2012 based on the recommended 7 years even though it was way below the 105K limit back then, now its 8 years later, do you think I should replace the timimg belt again? I put on less than 5K a year (just drive to the commuter rail into the city) even less now with the pandemic. if the belt breaks while the engine is running does it ruin the engine? hoping I can hold onto it for another 10 years, it looks almost brand new, and I have put in two radiators so far. thanks and happy holidays!

So "yes" and "yes" and see the replies in your other similar post, and happy holidays to you, too.

But, according to the other post he's only putting on less than 3K miles per year.

It's the age that gets you, too.

Me personally, since I DIY, I'd go in to replace the timing belt and timing belt tensioner. Inspect everything else.

Replace belt and tensioner and inspect things. Who knows, you might find the timing off by one tooth (current Acura TL job).

Bank 1

Should run better when I'm done.

off by one tooth

Also caused by cavitation?

Yes, I wasn't responsible for this cavitation.

This is why you want to line up timing marks and never rely just on counting the teeth on the belt. Never assume the last job was done correctly.
Sometimes the came can spring forward throwing it off.

Just checking in to say what a huge help this old (though incredibly useful!) thread has been. I used it the first time I changed my timing belt years ago, and referred to it again when it came time to change the timing belt on my 2005 Pilot for the third time at 335K miles.

When I changed it previously, my timing marks did not move at all when I removed the hydraulic tensioner. This time however, the rear cam "jumped" and the timing mark moved clockwise about 7-8 teeth. After an initial period of freaking out, I went back and referred to this thread ... where I see that this is a very common occurrence due to the valve spring pressure causing a valve to shut and roll the cam forward off its lobe. I just rotated it back (counterclockwise) carefully, installed the new timing belt, double and triple checked my timing marks and all was well.

Must have just gotten lucky the first time

Third time at 355K? My service manual says to replace it a second time at 168K. I thought that was too soon after replacing it at 105,000. When did you replace it a second time?

I replaced it about 175k and then 275k I believe. I threw my paperwork away already haha

I've been old school on this, doing them at 90k then 180k. When it comes to a 3rd it's just a toss up because something will likely be needed before 90-105k paases. My 3rd came early at 251k due to oil pump and pan leaks I could no longer ignore. At this point I'm just buying time, getting as many miles out of it as possible.

I’ve been doing it roughly every 100K or so. I did the second one at about 225K. I’ll probably do it next when she hits 450K (she’s at around 388K now).

Fingers crossed.

Possible but do not bother taking your vehicle to the dentist because insurance doesn't cover it.
