dont be confussed ;) just forget the crank pully as they are pretty buletproof and for gods sakes ignore the ones who say waterpump doesn't need doing as it will go on you :evil:

they do not like being messed with and they will punish you :P as Nike says "just do it"

you can get them for between £25-50 but id question there quality.

If you need any parts i have a friend that own's a company importing parts from the Yankland give me a shout :lol:

Replace the cambelt but NOT the balancer belt save some needed cash
replace the water pump
replace seals that are leaking
crank pully...look at it if its wobbling alot check the torque on the bolt if thats perfect and its still wobbling id replace it

order should be:

Cambelt
Water pump
seals

Thanks Gents.

I take the point on the pump.

Adrian thanks for Parts offer. To date the car is all Honda so will keep it that way.

Got it :D

TBH, if Honda think the crank pulley is knackered when they take it off, they'll have no problem in telling you it also needs doing :)
