you don't want a shit water pump, with shit fitment, or even, one that won't last long

Well seals were a given, they are cheap as shit you'd be mad not to.
You're getting a bit to elitist about honda parts if you think a genuine water pump is going to be that much better than an aftermarket one for half the price.
Edit: Having said the above; I would buy a genuine one because $30 isn't much to me over the course of 100,000km, and I just like Honda parts. But claiming that an aftermarket version has shit fitment and won't last as long is ignorant madness. Too many variables.
he works at a dealer, so do i. you DO see the difference in quality in many of the parts. stuff like belts are ok but i wouldn't touch non-gen seals, and certainly not a vital component like a waterpump
cheap.
i'm not saying all aftermarket pumps are shit.Quote:

Go honda for pump and seals. The belts on the other hand are not made by Honda anyway. So if you are after a Honda-branded belt, you are just tricking yourself. :)
if its not genuine then i don't think its worth it! But it's a fairly good price. Get other quotes including one with genuine parts and see how they compare
would it be cheaper to source oem parts and give them to the mechs and just pay em for labour ???
Depends on the mechanic that's working on your car, if he knows you've got absolutely no idea wtf any part on a car is then yeah he could sneak a couple extra bucks here and there on the parts cost. Best way of knowing you ain't getting ripped is to buy yourself and get them to install it or diyQuote:

There is a DIY on cam seals in the DIY section. It's for an SOHC, but similar thing.Quote:
