So I've got a really easy question for the mechanics out there. How necessary is it to have that small rubber seal that goes around the timing belt cover? Mine got killed when I took the cover off, and I'm wondering if it's worth paying for, and waiting 4 days to get a new one, or if I can just go without it.

Any mechanic worth his salt will change the water pump and tensioner when swapping a cam belt.

Gary Well, I'm not a afraid to admit it, I'm no salty mechanic. My dad and I work on cars for the fun of it, and I continue to learn as a go. Considering I own a 86 CRX, a 90 CRx, a 91 Civic, and now a 94 Celica, and not one of them was running when I bought it, and now they're all running, plus have died several times, and been fixed since then, and seeing as I've probably spent less on all of them put together than you have on just your exterior mods, I think I'm doing pretty well.  Anyway, I'm not offended, if you'd like to actually tell me what your talking about, instead of throwing pithy comments, I'd appreciate it. I just replaced it, and know what everything looks like, I just hardly know names for any parts, so you're welcome to enlighten me...you just might have to use small words.
