how much does a timing belt usually cost to get replced at a dealer?

and im at 70,000 miles without a timing belt service and am going autocrossing this weekend. Is that bad?

 

You'll be fine.

 

thanks that makes me feel better.

 

I'd get it changed if i were you, but i wouldn't go to a dealer.

take it to a mechanic you trust, or find someone on this site that can reccomend someone in your area

 

can anyone recomend someone good in the sacramento area?

I went to the stealership last time to got quoted and they quoted me around $780 replacing timing and water pumps. That is parts + labor included.

 

Get a buddy who knows about cars, search for a how to and do it yourself. It is not really hard, it is just time consuming whne you first do it.

 

780

um can someone scan the pages from the helms manual for me i would be wiling to do it myself but don't know torque specs or anything like that

 

manual recommend 60k miles.

If you really plan to work on your car yourself, you should buy a copy of the manual, so you have it handy whenever you're working on the car. It's worth every penny. You can buy it here.

Wrong. The recommendation in the owner's manual and service manual, as shown on page 4-6 of the service manual for the 1998 Integra, is 105K miles or 7 years, whichever comes first, even in the schedule shown for severe conditions. If you want to change it sooner than that, you can, of course, but that's the recommendation in the manual.
