question about timing blet

[jimjonez]

ok so i bought a 1990 accord last november. it came with 93k on it, and over the last year i put an additional 12k on it.

i'm over-due on a timing belt replacement.

i just came up on $1500 and was thinking about just getting a new engine or should i just pay someone the $600 to replace my timing belt?

how can i get in touch with guys from this forum who are located relativley close to me who are willing to do this job for me and i'll give'em a few bucks

oh and my location is Reading, PA

I have gone 50k over.

i wouldn't pay $100 labor to get it replaced. it's an easy job. do it yourself. even a moron could replace it with a little guidance and a day off.

if people keep paying this ripoff artists $600 to replace shit, they'll keep charging $600. shit is getting ridiculous. $150 alignments, $300 exhaust jobs, fuck.

I second that. I'm in need of a timing belt replacement myself, and a second pair of hands always comes in handy. No pun intended. The job goes easier, and conversation and company can make a tedious job a lot more fun.

Use the private message (PM) or go to the regional sections

You cant post there yet, but you can still contact people using the private message feature.

If i were u, I'd do the change myself man. 3 hours tops.

Good luck!

go to a local auto zone or go on line and order a book called haynes the one for a 1990-1993 acord . it will tell u every thing u need to know and it has pics of step by step. the book is like 16 bucks but it will save a forchun. trust me.

amazon.com should have it.
