2. Cranking direction is "into the firewall" ??

So yup, as the helpful picture shows.

I don't have any experiences with buying that item. But many Piloteers have had bad experiences with cheap parts, and have regretted buying them off ebay. Many of our older members will tell people to only purchase Honda parts from Honda suppliers. There are many Honda dealers online, such as Bernardi, hondapartsnow, hondapartsonline. Or you can go to a Honda dealer local to you. Many have been "burned" by putting cheap parts in their vehicles and had them fail within a few weeks or months.

A good middle ground between eBaymazon and expensive OEM parts, especially for non-electronic parts, can be Rockauto, if you try to avoid their completely cheapest or recently dubious brands like Moog or Dorman.

For your part, I'd go with Dayco or Continental, for instance. In fact, that's just what I did a couple of months ago, namely a Continental kit.
