According to my Chilton's covering 1984-1995 Civics, Yes. I think we're having a miscommunication. At the top, I meant I object to anyone's claim that it's flat-out wrong for Honda to put a guideline of 90k/6 years for the 91 Civic (and other Civic years near it that also specify 90k/6 years). Of interest though is that there is a footnote next to the timing belt interval spec for the 1992-1995 Civics, whereas there is not for the 1988-1991 Civics. The footnote states: "This service is recommended only." > post 96 is the extended > interval. People can google or look at their owner's manual. I realize the interval is higher for certain newer Hondas. We're splitting hairs. Somewhat related is that the recommended interval tends to be different in Canada, most likely because of the more severe weather. As you know... I don't want to try to twist the original poster's arm. (Like that can be done on Usenet.) I mean, he knows the risk he's taking at this point. That's what is important. He may very well roll the dice and win. |
