198K is pretty damn high for an original belt. My dad used to have a 3g civic carbed with like 250k+ (the speedo cable broke) with original t-belt, clutch, water pump, you name it. You have to be piss lucky not to have bent a valve though.

Thats the cover I was talking about, I though that proctected the valves, if the belt broke. Hopefully when I replace the belt it didnt take a valve with it. If it did, then at least I have a second honda sedan, that I can take the motor out of.
