Over time, standard factory belts suffer thermal degradation, tooth shearing, and tensile cord elongation under engine bay heat cycling. Concurrently, the OEM water pump bearing races wear and internal seals dry out, leading to shaft wobble, coolant cavitation, and head gasket failure—a notorious mechanical vulnerability on the \u003cstrong\u003eEM2\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eES1\u003c\/strong\u003e chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis comprehensive service kit is engineered to restore timing accuracy and cooling efficiency under high-load conditions. The 104-tooth belt is manufactured from high-grade, heat-resistant EPDM compound reinforced with high-tensile aramid tensile cords to resist tooth deflection and stretching. The included mechanical tensioner features an OE-spec precision sealed bearing packed with high-temperature synthetic grease to prevent harmonic vibration. Paired with a cast-aluminum water pump featuring a balanced impeller, this kit delivers consistent coolant flow while durable fluoropolymer crank and cam seals prevent destructive oil saturation across the belt path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Timing Belt (104 Teeth)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Tensioner\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2 Seals (Camshaft \u0026amp; Crankshaft)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Water Pump\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Valve Cover Gasket\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4 Spark Plug Tube Seals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5 Grommets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x: auto; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-size: 14px; min-width: 300px;\"\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eFitment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e2001-2005 Honda Civic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e1.7L D17A \/ EM2, ES1, ES2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eStock Output\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e115-127 hp \/ 110-114 lb-ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eReplaces OEM Part #\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eN\/A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2001-2005 Honda Civic DX, LX, VP (1.7L SOHC D17A1)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2001-2005 Honda Civic EX (1.7L SOHC VTEC D17A2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2001-2005 Honda Civic HX (1.7L SOHC VTEC-E D17A6)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions \u0026amp; Fitment Warnings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes this fit the EM2\/ES1 Civic?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this is a direct fit for the 2001-2005 Honda Civic equipped with the 1.7L \u003cstrong\u003eD17A\u003c\/strong\u003e engine. \u003cstrong\u003eDoes not fit 2.0L K20A3 Civic Si (EP3) or 1.3L Hybrid (ES9) models.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIs the 1.7L Civic an interference engine?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the \u003cstrong\u003eD17A\u003c\/strong\u003e is an interference design; a snapped or skipped timing belt will result in severe valve-to-piston contact and catastrophic head damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Honda Reliability Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered to sustain the precise cam synchronization and thermal stability demanded by high-revving Honda powerplants, this kit delivers uncompromising durability for daily commuting and spirited street driving.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67545296044280,"sku":"DS-EX5MK6TVY","price":79.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/performance-water-pump-timing-belt-kit-for-honda-civic-2001-2005-1-7l-1.jpg?v=1790721124","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/products\/performance-water-pump-timing-belt-kit-for-honda-civic-2001-2005-1-7l","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
