Great. Corporate Honda is telling me in order to proceed with my claim I need to get a diagnosis and get an official invoice/quote from the dealer. $100+ for a diagnosis. WTF?
I'm almost better off just fixing it myself. Argh. Don't know what to do.
If you have the time to spare, I say do it yourself.
That's really hard to say. I would opt to do it all. But then again, I would get all the parts, including what's needed for the manual tensioner, and do the work myself.
The service is called for at 105k, by the way.
BTW you're wrong. on a 1998 the service was still at its old specs. the 105k didnt come about until 1999.
^^^ Send it to scgleeson@yahoo.com please. Thank you very much. I tried to find it on five different search engines and a half-hour searching this site with no luck.

So I got this all fixed at Honda and the noise went away. Sounds nice an normal now. Total damage was around $800 ... still have to see if corporate Honda will help out. I'll keep you posted.
I bought parts separate online at hondaautomotiveparts.com ... tbelt/auto tensioner/water pump/cam seals/thermostat and basically got charged $500 labor.
Just as an update, took mine in for repair Monday.
Honda replaced the auto-tensioner and the T-belt under my extended warranty w/ $50 co-pay. I also had them replace the water pump, flush and refill the P/S and Brake fluids and they also replaced the P/S belt. Total came out to $526 and change. They also sent me a $100 gift card, so I got all that work done for $425.

Not too bad.
Scott, do you still have that TSB? Can you email it to me at pgarvin76@gmail.com.
I just ordered all the parts for my timing belt job. New timing & balancer belts, water pump, autotensioner and some other little odds and ends for $250.
