	This timing belt debate is an old one. The manufacturer's recommendation of 60k (or 80k w/some cars) is indeed conservative, but to try to go twice either of those numbers is just plain foolish, not to mention expensive. If it's a car you plan to keep, I would have the T-belt replaced at or before 100k. If it's one you plan to eventually sell, i.e., within the next year or so, I wouldn't spend the money unless the vehicle is mission-critical to your daily tasks and you simply cannot afford to replace the car right now or have it crap out on you unexpectedly. At 120k miles (or more) I would either replace the belt immediately or sell the car immediately. At 120k or greater the original T-belt is, IMO, a ticking bomb. However... Contrary to what the dealership may try to tell you, I don't believe in replacing the T-belt solely based on the age of the car. However, any major work that requires going in that deep, always replace the T-belt and any other nearby 'wear' items while you're there.

How would you feel about a '94 Accord with 48,000 miles? If not now, when? Also, if now, what about related stuff (water pump, etc.) at 48,000 miles? Any need to do that as well? I'll have the car for several more years, at least.

I'll have the car for several more years, at least. Then that should really be the deciding factor. An investment of much less than a major repair now to avoid a major repair in the future.

	accord v6 timing belt doesnt need changing,as far as a dealer here is concerned,until 168,000 kilometers.I was told this last week,I have a 2001,but I think that wouldnt make a difference. Maybe you are being extra cautious,and there is nothing wrong with that...just thought I would pass that on to you.
