what?!!! thats way up there... i had my timing belt done for $400 labor. wasnt done by a honda shop, but it was done by a Honda speacialist. they also did my clutch replacement.
I was told by Honda that its gonna cost me just over $400 to replace my timing belt. I don't I am gonna see what it costs to have waterpump added into that.
just to let you know, my timing belt went while i was driving....i called the honda dealership here and they had quoted me $2000.
Another quick question, can you do a pressure test when there is no timnig belt on the car??
Chances are if it went while you were driving you probably busted more than your timing belt, namely in the head.
Also, I pretty much doubt that you can do a compression test with the belt broken because the valves have no way of opening/closing. Someone correct me if i'm wrong.
You would need to disassemble your engine to get to your timing belt... save that for the specialist. You can get your belt and pump changed in a day if you drop the car off early enough and cost around $650.
I just got my prelude and there is a huge oil leak from the from of the engine, the timing belt is about to snap, the balance belt is missing. I got an estimate to fix all of that plus adjusting the valves, strap down the exhaust (its falling off), and replace the water pump and coolant. They would also replace the entire timing belt assembly. Is $1100 a good estimate.

You mean the side of the engine? Is your head gasket leaking? For $1100 that wouldn't be too bad. Sucks that just the gasket itself is cheap but your mostly paying for the labour
^yeah man, are you just in need of a T-belt and the rest of that stuff, or is there something wrong with your car too?
Hey all, I have always wnated to know.....What is a balance shaft? What is the belt for? And the most confusing part is, I've heard people say, "I deleted my balance shaft", What does it do, and why is it there if you can take it out? Are there any consequences?
I got quoted around $800 for just the timing belt and water pump at my local honda dealership. I called a local reputable import shop and got quoted around $500 for timing belt, water pump, h22 auto to manual tensioner conversion, valve cover gasket, coolant oil change, and all seals that need to be replaced. Try to find a local reputable import shop in your area to save money.
If you're thinking of trying this the thing to look for first is a Helm manual. That will explain the whole job with pictures included. Also the torque figures you'll need putting it back together.
If you do a search on this site you will find many discussions of getting the pulley bolt out of the end of the crank. You need a holding tool for the pulley and the bolt is torqued to 181 ft lbs and can be very difficult to get out. Can't do this job without removing it.
Also, to the person who mentioned breaking the belt while driving. It is definitely possible to bend valves when a belt breaks at low speed. Personal experience. #4 exhaust and #1 intakes. And you can do a leak down test with the belt broken. Thats how you identify bent valves.
Yup. Had just done my timing and balancer belts, ALL front seals, tensioner, water pump...and one of my tensioner bolts sheared off, getting caught up in the timing belt and shredded it. Was doing about 80 on I-10 running about 4k RPM. Bent half the valves in the motor. Not a good day....1.6K to fix. Just bad luck.
If the car isn't starting...double check your settings on the cam and crank to ensure everyting is lined up? Friend always had me rotate the engine by hand to ensure that no metal bangs together after putting everything back.
Okay so I just got my job done. Replaced the head new timing belt and water pump valve lash the whole nine yards it's in time I check that over and over, car won't start it sounds like the fuel pump is not starting?
