philgor Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 hard one to say, from other member's expereance's, b18c4 and a d16 non vtec. honda seem's to have built in a tolreance so that on vtec they are an interferance engine, and off vtec they are a not an interferance engine. don't take it as gospal though. get it done on time or mile's which ever come's first, and get a good cambelt kit as well. honda say that the water pump's don't need changing, that's up to you though..as for kit's go for one of the following,genuine hondablue point (good quaility kit's for far east and jap car's)gate's power grip, (never had an issue...)as water pump's go, honda say's that the water pump's don't need changing....but it's personal choice (after seeing what can happen when valve's hit piston's....)genuine honda, (do i need do say anything else)blue point (as above)gate's power grip (as above) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We still have customers who have there MB6 serviced with us, one recently for a 144,000 mile service! Our customer has owned it from new and serviced here allways we have done 2 cambelts on this one and not a waterpump (cambelt every 60k) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelufc20 Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 d series is non interfereance engine. timing belt replacement is a simple straight forward job and with a water pump and tensioner should expect to pay about £230-to 50 anymore then your being ripped off.

philgor Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 look'd on autodata, it does state that the d-series engine is interferance, but that's got to be on vtec due to the increased valve lift when on vtec....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
