dont move anything when taking off or putting it back on, other then that its simple. The crank bolt is kinda hard but I did it with hand tools and the crank bolt tool from honda. Real men just use their hands, smart men use power tools lol
Rims or timing belt first?

ok called the honda dealer to get an estimate on all the parts:
Driving belt (2) = $24.95 each
Timing belt (1) = $54.95
Tensioner (1) = $121.82
Water Pump (1) = $89.95
I asked for the labor with all of that. he said it would cost $649.00
I asked a local mechanic he said $500-$600 but i'm not sure if they'd be using OEM honda parts or whatever parts they have on hand.
My best bet was my friend who can do it for $200.
Is all of the parts listed absolutely necessary? is there anything else I should definitely replace as well?
thanks

you will need a valve cover gasket and rings for the spark plug holes its best not to reuse the old one when taking the cover off
I personally would get the gates racing timing belt set right here from the CC store. 119 shipped for the belt, tensionor, and water pump.

This. Timing belts aren't necessarily hard...they're just time consuming.
I'm wondering why you're even questioning this though. I mean....really?
Look "good", or no car. Hmmmmmmmmm
still better to spend the extra cash and get OEM, there is nothing "race" about that kit

how bad would it be if I didn't replace those? would I need to eventually in the life time of the engine?

d16y8 I believe. 98 ex
it could leak, its really not a good idea to cheap out on motor stuff, its just slightly important.
Definetly do the timing belt like everyone else said . Also when you have the cover and belt off if the cam seal or crank seal are leaking it would be the best time to replace them.
see my original post... added needed parts
