If you have an acura integra it is they recommend a timing belt and water pump every 60,000miles.

I assume you have a Acura? Acura/Honda engines are interfrence type engines, so maintaining you belt is of the upmost of importance, other wise you will have a very expensive engine repair. 60,000 miles is good rule of thumb for Honda/Acura models



For the record, Honda engines are almost all interference engines, as are (mainly) those from BMW, Hyundai, Isuzu, Kia, Nissan, Porsche, Volkswagen and Volvo. Most, but certainly not all, timing-belt-equipped engines from Ford, Lexus, Mazda, Subaru, Suzuki and Toyota are non-interference engine.How many miles before changing timing belt on a car?
Every 75,000 mile you need to change the timing belt and the water pump. Don't go over this by very much, if you do, you risk it breaking and bending all the valves. Good luck!
