Honda: Timing Belts life?

I once squeezed 95k out of the belt on a 1994 Accord LX. I was not
beaten severely about the head by the service department afterward.

What do you care? You can't believe anyone here anyway. Pick a number,
grab your BALLS, and go with it.

Or don't you have any balls?

The belts all come from the same vendors - Honda didn't make your belt.
They usually don't show any wear. You can't judge their remaining life
expectancy by inspection (unless there is damage).

Honda says change it on the '95 at 90,000. To not do so is not a measure of
balls, its a measure of stupidity. I changed the one on the '96 Odyssey
(same engine) at 91,000 and it was OK. I let it go to 110,000 on the old VW
Rabbit and it snapped literally on the way to the dealer to trade it in.

That's a good idea as you're probably already driving on borrowed time. The
recommended interval is 6 years or 90K miles.

Don't forget to replace all of the front engine seals as well. It's good
insurance to make sure that your new belt will make it another 90K miles (oil on
the timing belt will soften the rubber and shorten its service life).
