Part number water pump, timing belt?

I don't think you need any further confirmation, but that's the belt number I installed in my '96 in March of this year, and all is very well. I didn't do the water pump with only 47k mi on the car.
If you haven't read the NSX Timing Belt/Water Pump DIY on NSX prime, do so. It was a great supplement to the manual. While not necessary, for us anal engineer types marking the pulleys and the old & new belts in step 27 of the DIY gave an extra level of assurance that the belt was 100% timed correctly.
A simple item I would add to the DIY: remove the oil filter before removing the oil cooler. It allows more room for the crank pulley wrench tool.
Let me know if you also find that the absolute worse bolt to remove & reinstall is the lower left bolt of the upper rear timing cover. There's been some curious descriptions in this forum on how individuals have attacked that bolt.

Thanks Frank for the heads up, I'm not going to be the one that will be working on my car. I am having a certified private reputable mechanic do it. I am doing my own research to give the mechanic more information about it though. I will ask him about that bolt in the end and let him know about the oil filter being in the way. I wish I could do this myself but I dont have the tools or 100% trust on myself in doing so. I am still getting the water pump replaced to be assured. Thank you for your help. :smile:
I also have receive some parts for the T-Belt replacement and will be having it done this month. I receive the new water pump and I've read somewhere that you have to modify the T-Belt cover for the weep hole that is coming from the new water pump. It would be great if there are pictures of the modification.
