Timing Belt and engine work on Civic

[BlkCD5]

shouldn't be more that $500 at the most. They sell whole kits on ebay that come with most seals around the timing belt/water pump area too. Its good insurance. You could have a second hand mechanic do it for you, but imo i wouldn't trust them unless they're pretty damn experienced with those jobs. If you don't know, Honda engines are non-interference, meaning you're :idb: if the belt breaks.

interference or non-interference?? i thought interference meant valves and pistons could hit each other if belt snapped and non inter meant something else entirely
