i can only assume you are asking about abelt for a honda. if so, use Stock belt and pump. I use them on all my builds. they are great for any built or stock motor.

+1 - anything OEM honda, or something name brand. Don't get a crappy no-name one, or it could snap in 3k miles causing you to destroy a head (coming from experience)

thanks a lots guys..... yes, it's for my GSR engine.... I'll go with OEM belt + water pump. I was reading at Greddy timing belt but well I trust OEM more ..... where should I buy to get the REAL belts? Ebay has it but i am not quite sure it's real or not. here is the links

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...link:middle:us

what do i need for complete timing belt change?
>timing belt
>water pump
>valve cover gasket
>timing belt tension???
>head gasket at the same time?

Should I go with cams + cam gear at the same time to save labor cost?

that belt is ok as it is from Honda. just make sure you dont get non OE stuff.

While you're in there, do T belt, water pump, valve cover gasket, plugs, wires, valve adjustment, may want to do the 2 cam seals and the cam end plug too.
If you want cams/gears, yes do them now as labor will be none for them (unless they need springs/ret)

sure. but why pay more for a belt when most of the high HP turbo cars are running OE Honda belts? The Honda belts are great. I rev to 10k rpms and i feel safe with the stock belt.
