This place is selling a full CL timing belt kit on eBay .. they say the parts are OEA (?) or OEM but I want to confirm from someone that has purchased this to do the timing belt changes that you indeed get ALL OEM parts.

Pretty good savings vs. some other sites but I don't want any shady parts...

 

Yep. That's where I bought my stuff from. Fast shipping for me. Im in PA. Bought on Friday had on Monday. I had a mechanic at the Acura dealer do it on the side for me and from what he saw, he said the parts looked good. There's only one part missing. The tensioner. The auction states there is one but theres not. Look up "acura tensioner" on ebay and you'll see the part I'm talking about. 2500 miles so far and no problems....

its the hydraulic tensioner

 

Yep that's it. For some reason the words escaped me....

how much does it cost for labor?

 

Depends. Shops around here charge 65-85 per hour. Dealer....110+ per hour. I won't tell you what I paid cause you won't believe me. Artban did the same thing. He walked into the dealer and asked one of the mechanics how much they wanted to do the install.

how many hours is it supposed to take?

 

about 5 hours .. I have a local Honda Tech doing mine for a steal. Was gonna do it with my Dad but the price is just too cheap to pass up from someone with experience!

 

Can someone kindly pass along the actual Acura OEM part number for the "missing" hydraulic tensioner por favor?
