New Clutch/Timing Belt

[MyCord]

I have a few questions before I purchase my parts.

Things I need to do:
- New clutch
- Timing Belt/Water Pump/Accessory belts
- Lower Tube seals

As for the clutch, I just want a stock replacement or one that is slightly heavier duty if it's not much more and won't shatter my car. I know I'll need a new t/o bearing, clutch disc and what else? Should I be getting a new pressure plate? A new flywheel? Or is resurfacing the flywheel sufficient? T.A.S has an oem clutch for $90, bearing for $50 and pressure plate for $100, all oem. Good deal?

As for the timing belt I want to do all the accessory belts and water pump as well. T.A.S has the complete oem kit for $150, this seems like a good deal. I'm not sure if I need new tensioners tho, are they re-usable?

For the lower tube seals, do most head gasket kits come with those seals or is it more common to have to buy them separate?


Thanks

Exedy makes a very good replacement clutch, I think it would run you about $200 for the disc and pressure plate.

$150 is a good deal for the timing kit if you don't know anyone at a Honda dealer like I do, I paid $130 for my OEM set with shop price a few years ago, but I bought some extra stuff I think, can't remember now.

EDIT- I would replace the tensioners if they are original, my originals gave out at 180K miles and now when I do a timing job on a Honda that I don't know the history of, I just replace them. Saves expense and pain and suffering later if they go out on you, I know from personal experience.

I would definitely replace your pressure plate while your in there.. I would never just replace the disk.
250 bucks seems steep for an oem clutch..

Thanks. It's 250 total for the t/o bearing, clutch and pressure plate, all oem.

The tensioners are damn expensive tho for such a little part. I have a history with Honda and get a 10% discount but I think T.A.S is still a better price.

id look at aftermarket like stated above for your clutch sounds like you can get a better clutch for about the same price..

yeah i know nothing about timing belts i come from a v8 world lol... but clutches im pretty good with lol

Anyone else?

u can find a clutch kit for bout 130 bucks, (exedy ) on ebay
and that includes the t/o bearing and press. plate...

as for the tbelt, i say get it and the tens. pulley from tas,
i just recetly left my balance belt off,
so u wont need that new belt, tensioner pulley ,
or the two shaft seals if u choose to leave it off... (preventitive maintinence)

i think i reply'd to another thread with a response similar to this

happy tuning

Just an FYI, the TO bearing included in the Exedy kit has the EXACT same part number as the Honda OEM TO bearing.
