My mistake, given that inspect water pump is on the list, replace.
I drive other imports. Ones that begin with T. The T have their timing belts under a cover.
All manufacturers have their timing belts under some sort of a cover.... to leave them exposed would be a bad move. 35 years in the business and I can tell you for a fact that Honda isn't the only one to drive the water pump off it... Toyota, Chrysler, Subaru, Hyundai....... they're all guilty. Heck, even GM has driven a water pump off a timing chain... Quad 4, 2.2 & 2.4 Ecotec come to mind right off the bat.......
