It groups every essential component you’d normally replace during a timing service into a single package, reducing the risk of premature failure from mixed-age parts. The set is manufactured to match original equipment fitment and includes the water pump to avoid redundancy and labor duplication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich vehicles and engine types does this kit fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis A-Premium kit fits a broad range of Honda and Acura models with SOHC V6 engines from 2003 through 2018. It covers Accord, Accord Crosstour, Odyssey, Pilot, Ridgeline, Crosstour, and several Acura models including MDX, RDX, RL, TL, TSX, and ZDX where the 3.0–3.7L SOHC engines are specified.
