Default timing belt for a b18b

I was wondering what a good timing belt would be for a 1995 LS b18b engine. I was thinking of going with one from Honda, but are there any others out there that are good?? or should i just stay oem?

IMO, stay with OEM... it's a mission-critical part, after all.

I agree completely. Any important parts like this that are not simple tune up parts, ALWAYS go with the OEM part. Just my .02.

I recently got the whole kit (belt, water pump, tensioner, spring, alt belt, power steering belt, a/c belt and a set of spark plugs) for about $247 shipped to my house. All OEM. Install was about $288 labor.

that's the kind of response people don't need


if your timing belt or water pump fail... you basically have a guarantee of rebuildig your top end ..if not changing a few others in the bottom.

IMO if you dont trust ebay for something like an intake... why would you ever trust them with 2 of the most important pieces in the engine
