Timing belt Gates or OEM Honda
Who has the best deal on a genuine Honda j35 timing belt in Charlotte? Anyone know of specials?
Gates are reckoned to be the best.
Inside of the engine was super clean Gates racing belt, I figure the extra couple bucks is worth it.
Thanks for all of the replies everybody big help love the community I was able to source the parts I needed today timing belt,water pump, tensioner, and pink antifreeze there was green in my car so I flushed it out before I started to do the timing job, which btw took me 7 hours mannnn I’ve never done one of these before and looking at the DIY and YouTube helped a lot but it’s all done and can make it to work tomorrow. If I was off would have started this tomorrow morning I had no choice but to start today at 2:30. Took her for a drive sound was gone car feels great. Again thank you all!
I replaced mine at 80k when it was 8 years old and the belt still looked perfect.
Get a Gates belt. They are the best and timing belt is no place to cheap out.
Gates is the only aftermarket brand I'd trust; certainly don't go store-brand (autozone, etc).
Got the Gates belt installed, but I haven't been able to run the car long enough to know if the noise is fixed. I did notice when transferring the timing belts from the Conti belt to the Gates belt that the Conti belt is a fraction of a mm thicker.
I’m looking at you all you cheap fucking Honda timing belts. Gates/oem or go fuck your mother.
I had that one but it never quieted down and I ended up switching to a normal belt.
