The standard recommendation for Hondas is 6 years or 90,000 miles whichever
comes first. The water pump should also be replaced as well as the cam and
front crank seals. Many shops also replace the timing belt tensioner bearing.
These extra items add to the cost of replacing the timing belt, however, they
insure that this area of the motor will be good for another 6 years or 90,000
miles.
