I have a 2002 Accord with 96K miles on it. I am going to change the timing belt, balance shaft belt, both adjusters, water pump, plugs, wires, cap, rotor, valve cover gaskets. What seals/gaskets need to be changed on the timing cover? And if there are things I am planning on changing that I don't need to change, let me know that too. Thanks.

The cover has a dust seal, not really a gasket...
You will want to change the balance shaft seals...they are known to pop out or fail sometimes, and cause catastrophic oil leakage behind the cover....

So is it good to change out the dust seals then or they are good to use again?
And I was going to get all honda parts, online, since most seem to say replace with Honda parts.

I am having a hard time finding the balance shaft seals on the parts diagram. I found the balance shafts, front and rear, but it doesn't show seals?

Actually, I forgot what year you were talking about...earlier ones would pop the seals, then they began putting a retainer on them to keep that from happening...you should be ok...
