I know that there is not much more work involved since they are already removing alot of the components they need to do the job.

Thanks for the any help.
lets see, when I did my timing belt change:

Parts: 150 bucks
Water pump
timing belt
balance belt
head gasket seal
spark plug seals.
a bunch of other stuff too,

Labor to install these parts: 150.00 ( local mechanic )
Any mechanic can do a valve adjustment. doesnt necessarily have to be done by a honda dealer.

I see the dealer is trying to :boink: you


definitely shop around.
