At least when I had my 96 Civic EX coupe, without ABS, it was a PITA to get brake parts for it. Apparently most of the 96s had ABS? And apparently the ABS-equipped models came with different parts. They always handed me brake pads and rotors that were much smaller than what was actually on the car, no matter which parts store I went to. Honda apparently also used different pads/rotors depending if you had a hatch, coupe, or sedan... and depending if it was DX, LX, EX, HX, CX... and depending if it had ABS, and automatic or manual also made a difference.  HondaLooking at Rockauto now for brake options for a 96 Civic gives these gems: CX - NON-ABS - HATCHBACK DX - NON-ABS - HATCHBACK - SEDAN EX - LX - 4-WHEEL ABS - SEDAN - w/MAN TRANS LX - NON-ABS - SEDAN; DX Model COUPE DX,HX SEDAN DX,LX w/o ABS & LX w/ABS,MAN TRANS HATCHBACK; DX Model 4 DR w/ABS & w/MAN TRANS; DX Model 2 DR - Except EX - 3 DR ABS & MAN TRANS - LX 4 DR 4 DR SEDAN LX w/ABS MAN TRANS,LX w/o ABS or DX COUPE DX,HX HATCHBACK Coupe; Sedan; Automatic trans.; Standard trans.; EX Model; LX Model (completely wrong, these differ by trans, body style, and ABS/non ABS) EX - COUPE - SEDAN LX - 4-WHEEL ABS - SEDAN - w/AUTO TRANS; DX Model w/4 Wheel Disc brakes; DX Model (when the gently caress did DX's ever come with 4 wheel disc?!) SEDAN LX w/ABS MAN TRANS,LX w/o ABS or DX COUPE DX,HX HATCHBACK; DX Model Hondas are like legos.... until it comes to the brakes. It was always a clusterfuck trying to get brake parts.

I thought it was the tensioner that let go? The tensioner is an incredibly easy fix that doesn't even require removing the valve cover; it screws into the block just behind the timing chain cover. The hardest part is removing the old one intact...
