i need to do mine soon. i was so itchy to try to do it myself. i want to change the water pump and the timing belt myself but i'm way to inexperience to do it. i will leave it to acura. probably at 205k i will attempt to do it. around that time i should have my ASE certification

your going to need at least:
timing belt
timing belt tensioner
timing belt tensioner pulley
timing belt idler
water pump
camshaft seals
crankshaft seal
including the gaskets for the above.
i say do the other ones above besides the timing belt and water pump because they are already in the area and everything is apart so they mines well replace the other components above.
i'm giving my TL to my local acura dealer and letting them change the parts. it should be anywhere in the $1000 or $1300 mark area. but hey, i'm getting a loaner while its being worked on.

check it out yourself. just go to the site and click year 1999 and click camshaft something. and you will see the diagram and the seals are labeled #16 but they have it not listed below and no price for it either.

if i do take it to an independant shop wouldn't i have to buy the parts myself? i mean seriously, i know 2 shops around my area that specialize in hondas/toyotas.

go talk with the service MANAGER at the private shop and ask if they will install your parts from acura, or at least provide the parts for the same price you can get them-
shops get even more discount than whats available to regular customers
so they can make a buck on the deal
When the shop provides the parts- they also warranty that part as part of the deal. for making a few dollars they assume liabilty of labor if part fails
Tell the shop about deals on here for parts and see if they can get better deal at local dealer
Cam seals not usually needed on the timing belt service
Valve adjustment is needed- do it

I know a few guys that work at the dealership, so they're giving me a few discounts.

criticizing my religion? i mean why am i failing? because i believe in a god or Christianity and putting my faith into him protecting me from harm in danger. something you probably would say is a joke?
grow up seriously, my comment should not of been a religion one but its something i depend on in all my situations in life

hes not criticizing your religion, hes criticizing you for your stupidity in believing you do not need to change your timing belt.

No its not stupid. If you would of looked at all my previous posts in this thread. I said I'm struggling financially and relying on faith in god to hold my timing belt
I know its logical to get the belt fixed, duh? If I had jobs like you and had money like you I would get it fixed. I'm not like you and besides I shouldn't had said anything about religion because honestly a person with faith in god will always get criticized.
A man can't rely on faith to hold the old belt over till money kicks in? Wow talk about life...

ck the azine Meets section for your town, find another ziner who works on cars at home and can help you do the job for the cost of parts and lunch
Faith is good to have and live by, and rubber obeys laws of physics..stupid Newton~
