Are all timing belts created equal?
Alright so its time to replace the timing belt on my 95 dx. Ive called around to advance/oreillys, etc. and have been quoted $35 for one. The question is should i go for the honda one instead of whatever brand the $35 dollar one is?

timing belts are MUCH more than a belt. Say u go for the 35$ belt, and it snaps......if u have a SOHC youre going to have to pay around 900 bucks for a head rebuild. Im getting my belt next week......FROM HONDA..........change it now with a honda belt and u dont have to worry about it for another 60-70K.........id feel uneasy with the other crappo ones. Whats another 30 bucks? GO WITH HONDA.

My old neighbor used to work at the dealership as a mechanic. When time came to change mine on my Accord he told me to go to Pep Boys and buy the belt there because it was the same belt just missing the painted "Honda" on it. No problems since. Just my 2 cents.
