Just to check what part numbers below in the link below do i need to get when changing the cam and balance belts

11, 17, 23, and i would get 12 too as they can go weak.

Found this auto tensioner on Rock Auto for a fraction of the price of the ones from Honda

What do you think?

I would seriously only use a genuine tensioner. It is NOT worth the risk of it failing. But it is entirely up to you chap

IF you are going the whole hog when was the last time your water pump was changed?

Not been done in the 6 years I've had the car. Any idea on a part number and good supplier?

I put a £36 pump in my track car, still ok but only done 500 or so miles so far

Honda OEM. Pricey at over £100 but more than worth it IMO. Vanzep and I have compared the impellers of cheapo and OEM water pumps and the OEM was much nicer.
