Help on buying kit for Civic 01 timing belt change
Hello,
I am new in this forum and am looking to a little bit of help towards what parts to buy for a belt change.
I am total noob when it comes to cars unfortunately...
I was looking at several kits since my honda dealership charges outrageous amounts for the parts and so does my previous mechanic - he even stated if i got parts cheaper he was gonna mark up the parts anyway and charge his normal parts prices.
Anyhow, I was looking into buying a kit.
My Civic is a 2001 Honda Civic Auto transmission EX
It has 135k miles.
I have read that you should go with Gates brand and Mitsubishi belts since they are Honda's suppliers?
Apart from Water pump as well what should be included in the kit?
Should I also change the crankshaft seals and accessory belts?
I have found this kit, not sure if good:
01 05 Honda Civic 1 7L Mitsuboshi Timing Belt Aisin Water Pump Valve Cover D17A1 | eBay
Any input would be greatly appreciated!
thank you
