Are you sure about that 90K limit?

That's what the dealer told him. I don't know if he still has the
manual, but I can ask.

And for what's it's worth, your thoughts are the same as what I've
tried to say a few times in this thread - why wait?

df&folder=brochure The Gates manual says 105,000 miles.I noticed
after posting this, the kit also comes with a water pump.
Thatanswers a dispute of a couple of earlier posters about it.



I strongly advise against using aftermarket timing belts or water pumps on
any Honda or Toyota. Neither has the durability of genuine OEM.

But then if all you're expecting is to get another 40-50K or so before you
get rid of the car, go ahead and use aftermarket. Let the new owner deal
with any early failures.
