Re: Timing belt changed or not ??

I think the change point is 90K for that year. Honda calcuates that 99% of the belts will last that long. After that the percentates start going down. So at 115K, the belts on more then 80% of the cars will still be strong and look new. and it starts going downhill rapidly after that. So looking at the belt is not a good indicator. Look for lube records on the door to see if you can tell where he had his service work done. I know that it is a hard deciscion, but if you can't find any records, the cost of not doing it and having a belt break is not worth it on Hondas. A broken belt means a head job to fix bent valves.
