my 90k serivice cost ~$370
including inspection of most parts, tire balance/rotation, changing oil/tranny fluid/shit like that, and the valve adjustment.
BTW, this was at my favorite garage that is Honda/Acura certified. No worries for me.
Dealership was asking about $20 more, plus they wanted to change an AC filter, adding $40. I was like "AC filter?" I barely even run the shit.....
and I could care less about doing the adjustment myself. Actually, I think letting people know how to do it can be a double-edge sword.
I don't know about anyone else, but the last place I need to be fuckin around in is the engine. I'll leave it to pro's

I almost wanted to do the adjustment myself. But then I got high and relized that could pose a potencial problem
at the same time, I decided against going FI, and dumped my boosted y7 idea. I'll just stick with the b16, and probably won't get it for a looooooong time.... :happysad:
i'm probably going to try doing it myself. the worst that could happen is i end up breaking my engine and have to get a new one. darn.
I'm made of meat!

I'd do a timing belt and valve adjustment job with a new water pump and all accessory belts for $370. I'd even stay sober for that price.
