2005 Honda Pilot - Timing belt replacement

I say this a lot, but if you have it done at a dealership, make sure to specify that the entire timing belt kit, including the pulleys and tensioner, should be replaced. Many Honda dealerships are reluctant to do this if they don’t think there’s anything wrong with the parts.

And tell them to replace the water pump whether it’s leaking or not - again, many Honda dealerships only replace if they see a leak. Get a new estimate for how much all of this will cost, because it won’t be competitive with the locals anymore. I learned this the hard way.
