Timing belt Change

[Lukezen27]

Well firstly im in brisbane so robert is a no go

I got a Y1 in my car at the moment, but i also got a Y8 (bought if of Nerv, sitting at my friends house) so i might do something with that

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

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!
