Just rolled over 70,000 miles - Honda Prelude Forum

TheBigB · 04-07-2002, 07:51 PM

My 96vtec just rolled over 70,000 today and i think it's time for some maintence. I was thinking i should probably change the timing belt soon. Also i'm not exactly sure what else should be done. I picked this car up at 58,000 miles and i don't know what has been done on it. So far i changed the two pulley belts.
From a search this is what i got:
-timing belt,
-balance belt,
-a/c belt,
-power steering belt,
-water pump,
-2 tensioner bearings,
-1 gasket,
-9 seals altogther

-------Should i change anything else? I heard stuff about valve adjustments? I just want to make sure everything gets done and i don't have any problems. Thanks for the help!

Mines going in for its 60k, timing belt has to be done at 60k (don't mess about with that 1), I'm having the oil changed, all the brake fluids etc. the UK Honda guys call it a level 4 service. If you want me to list exactly what they do let me know n I'll get more details!

I have a 96 VTEC as well , and It hit the 70k mark a week ago; my brother works at the local honda dealership and he helped me out last week with my 70 k service. 2 weeks ago, we replaced t-belt, Lower ball joints(honda recall), water pump, Inner/outer cv boots, cam seals, spark plugs(NGK-R), spark plug wires(MSD), Power steering belt, A/C belt, Valave adjustment, flushed radiator, replaced thermostat, and installed AEM cam gears.

IT makes a HUGE difference, it feels like new!!! you should try this!
