anyone have an idea on what it would cost to do each of the following:

1. Timebelt replacement

2. Valve Adjustment

3. Regular tune-up

Thanks.

 

wish I could tell you but I'd suggest to call around for quotes

 

Timing belt they usually charge about $300-400 for timing belt and water pump. For a valve adjustment, I think the going rate is around $60-80, they should do it as part of your timing belt change though since they have the Valve cover off already. And the tune-up (dist cap/rotor and plugs) is easy enough that you should just do it yourself and spend the $30 on parts, otherwise a garage may charge over $100.

 

I paid a buddy to do a timing belt, water pump, valve adjustment, clutch, and flywheel install, and he additionally changed the oil, and tranny fluid. $250 labor for all of it.

Post 420 :-P

 

costed me about $600 to get all of that done, it will cost you more if you go to the acura dealer.

 

is it necessary to replace the waterpump?

 

Valve adjustment at the dealership costs about $100-130.
Timing belt, water pump about $400-500
These prices reflect labor as well

 

i would never do a timing belt with out doing the water pump ( under normal conditons) might as well do them both while you are doing it. it will save you headaches later down the road

 

you have to take off the timing belt and covers to replace water pump, that's why might as well do it at the same time, it's worthi it, just in case it fails if you didn't replace it...that's a big no no,
one question tho, how can you tell the dealer or the shop did the valve adjustment? i am sure they'll probably try to scam you for the money...unless there's a good way to tell...

 

if the valves were loud before they should be relatively quiet. First option would be to take it to a trusted mechanic that you personally know. Second option get the helms book and learn it yourself...

option 2 will save alot of money in your wallet down the road minus the cost of the valvecover gasket and spark plug grommets and hondabond

 

mine was about ~600 for all parts n labor [dist cap & rotor, ign wires, spark plugs, valve cover gasket, timing belt, water pump, cam seals, and fuel filter]. i did it all when i replaced my clutch. total labor+parts=1100

 

my integ is due for these exact parts O well better its a honda and not a BMW cuz that **** would be double the cost

 

i can do it for you if your local .. pm me for a price if you live in so cal ...

 

You should try to find someone knowledgable in your area, a car friend or something, that can work with you so you know how to do it in the future. If you can do a timing belt and not **** it up, you can do alot of stuff

 

im in socal and i need someone to do my timing belt

I think I paid around $450-500 for the water pump "package" and they did the valve adjustment for free.

Stripped Honda, I noticed the pony in your sig. right on! for hondas and mustangs!

thanks she is my baby ... i am one of the few that have love for the new and the old ...

 

i got a valve adjustment for about 50 and the timing belt problem was fixed for about 90

 

who said anything about autozone? its all Honda parts, u just have to know the right people, but regardless, the parts are still cheap as ****...

 

i was quoted $250 for the complete timing belt package at a friends cousin shop.

all oem parts. new belt, cam seals, valve cover gasket and waterpump, etc.

pretty good deal. i think imma go to him.

independant honda/acura in GG quoted me 530 with valve adjustment.

independant honda/acura in LB quoted me 400 with valve adjustment.

 

funny how places i nver go to give me a higher quote. i guess when they see your car, they like, he must have money. even though my ride aint a beamer.
