I'll look further into it man, thanx

No worries

why would you go from a Y1 to a Y8?

i just had my timing belt done!!! paid $70 for a OEM honda belt, $30 OEM rocker cover gasket n OEM $24 spark plug seals! and $100 for labour from a qualified honda mechanic!!! this is on a DOHC VTEC

When do timing chains get done?

Why indeed, nah man i might build one up that way i can keep the car on the road and i don't have to take the engine out to do it. Makes sense????

How long did it take them to do it

Yup!!

My water pump died one week after my Timing belt change :thumbdwn:

Cost the same twice to change it...

hello ozhonda ppl!
this thursday i will be changing my timing belt to a new one at K mart autos :S
ma mates told me that i shouldnt trust them installin a timing belt kit to ma car!
if so shud i buy a different timing belt for my car instead of using what K mart autos supplied to install on mine?
and also while the engine is out to change the timing belt. what else shud i get check or change?
they quoted me $182 bux for the timing belt kit and $320 for labour cause it costs 3.5 hours apparently :S! is der any place in brisbane that can do it cheaper???

sorry guys im noob at cars ay:(!
