According to Gates belts, your engine is not freewheeling but interference. If belt breaks damage is extensive so if it needs changing better do it. Honda usually offers a package deal where they change the timing belt, water pump and all accessory belts.
I would change the timing belt approximately every 80,000 mi. This is a guideline only that I have used on my 1979 Honda, and it still seems to be the right mileage for changing the timing belt on newer Hondas such as yours.
Honda reccomends timing belt change at 100k. Most Honda dealers like you to change the belt at 90,000 miles (90k). some auto repair places will want to change the belt at 60k but that is not necessary (Note: if in a severe cold or hot climate like florida or canada you would change the belt before 90k or if the belt is over 7 years old.. Good luck:
All of your fan belts needs to be taken off because the timing belt is located beneath the crankshaft pulley. There is a possibility that you may need to lift the motor off its motor mounts to gain access to the timing belt. Remember, the timing belt can't be seen from the outside.
