Reviews of OEM Honda timing belt

I changed the timing belt on my girlfriend's 99 accord last year for a grand total of 24 years and 110k miles. To be honest it looked really good and I wouldn't be surprised if it lasted another 15 years

233,000 mi. 2007 accord with 2.4L vtech. Sold the car to a buddy and it is still going strong.

My sister ran her Honda Odyssey 3.5 to 245k miles. Never had a belt.

I had a 2002 Honda civic at 230K and never changed the timing belt.

I paid a dealer $1400 to replace timing belt, tensioner, water pump and front main seal several years ago. Pricy, but in a HCOL metro.

I had 280k on my 01 accord when the og snapped, thought it had been swapped by previous owner as it looked to be in good shape when I did the water pump and I ate that about as fast as I stopped when it killed my engine.

Use a genuine Honda belt if you decide to replace it, a new auto parts store belt will likely fail before that old Honda belt.

I had a customer who brought in a car with seemingly “authentic Honda” parts that failed prematurely. Lo and behold it was a counterfeit timing belt kit and the belt snapped sending everything else to shit.

There is a fault with these engines! The belt starts to break up prematurely, clogging up the oil galleries inside the engine! First sign of this starting to happen is your turbo starts to get louder, then siezes. Happened mine just outside of warranty (42k miles). Luckily honda footed the bill and replaced the engine.

Who has the best deal on a genuine Honda j35 timing belt in Charlotte? Anyone know of specials?
