All Hondas have interference engines. The biggest difference between a Honda and a Toyota is if you break a timing belt on a Toyota, you replace the timing belt. If you break one on a Honda you replace the engine.

Check which engine and do the math.Good luck.

And Joe's right. Water pump replacement every timing belt or two is good prophelactic maintenance.How many times do I have to replace my timing belt for my car?which engine ? the intervals begin at 60,000 . Also on a civic you should check on the price of replacing the water pump . It is behind the belt and usually doesn't cost much more . If you don't do it same time and a little later goes bad , you will have to pay price for removing belt anyway , so why not save some money ?
