just asking since I have heard that thats one vital thing you should have checked on your civic. I have had some trouble locating my owners manual althought i dont remember it saying much about it. FYI its a 2001 LX coupe.
ok found the DIY on changing it on Similar threads. Still want to check it prior to 110,000 miles just to be safe.
EZ-thx in advance

Rep Power: 335 don't get a under drive crank pulley cause it will screw up your car. the gaskets is a personal choice. my dad didn't change his and he has a 95 with 220k miles on it. no leaks. so wait it recommended is water pump and timing belt

Rep Power: 811 no gaskets. they don't pull the head off or the valve cover. you need the cam and crank seals. get a stock crank pulley cause they tend to break around 60k miles. Also, this would be a good time to throw on an adjustable cam gear for later even if you don't think you'll need it. cause you'll have everything off anyway. here's my aem.
