European manuals say 50,000Km for the valves (30,000 Miles). The Dual
pump Fluid only lasts 50,000 Km / two years.
An oil change might make that valve quiet down, but Tegger's right, it's
a 'happy valve' as long as the mechanic didn't fail tighten the locknut
:-)
Add all the extra DOTS to your owner's manual maintenance schedule, and
you'll impress the person you sell it to in ten years.
The TBelt has 6 years on it. I think it's time anyway. Personally, I
wouldn't change the water pump unless I knew the former owner was using
non-honda coolant or TAP WATER (Hondacide). The idler pulley will
probably last until the fourth or fifth TBelt, unless you're someplace
really hot.
