2000si I did not sound like I was fussing because I wasn't I was just wanting to know.

 

Sorry I did not mean to sound like I was fussing.

 

So how many miles before you are supposed to replace the belt? On a 96 Civic, not a Ford.

 

i would recommend at least every 80k. you can go a lot longer, but its not worth the risk. and if you ever have one with over 30-40k off for anything else, just replace it.

 

For 98 civic's honda suggest you do it at the 100k tune up.

 

It really comes down to how you drive and what you have done to the engine. I agree with Sacicons, every 80k is a good number to go with. I personally have 75K on my civic and changed out the belt at 60k. Being turbocharged, I do not plan on taking a chance on a $20 part and risk spending several hundred when it breaks.

 

Sorry I meant 100 000 km

 

wow. where do you get them for $20? mine was like 105 shipped on ebay, but that was with a new water pump too. but when i bought one for my b16, it was like $60. and yeah, 100k km is about 62k mi. so lets say 60-80k. ive seen em go 150k+, but i dont want to risk my motor to save a few bucks.

 

Sorry, I was off a bit. Autozone $27.99 plus tax, "For my 99"

$21.99 for the 96 Civic.

 

oh yeah, you have a single cam huh. i dont know why i was thinking it was dohc. but yeah the sohc ones are hella cheap.
