$1100?


I usually tell people to take their cars to Honda dealerships rather than Acura dealerships. Usually the markup is less and we can use almost all of the parts from the 6th gen SIs.

 

umm how about 65 bucks, make a day of it and dive in

 

My local Honda dealership (Curtis Ryan) is usually about 1/2 the price of the local Acura dealership (Acura of Milford). The guys at Curtis Ryan could not believe what I was paying at Acura...the only difference was Acura washed the car.

 

Just the gasket headset for my 91 is over $200 I am sure it is more for one that new.
I don't think it is that difficult to do yourself but that assumes more than a basic idea of how to change a tire. There is precision equipment involved so if you are not sure pay the money to have it done right.

 

only $60/hour?? in the land of dealership labor rates, that's really cheap...especially for acura.

 

I had no idea this was expensive what a rip.
What a torque wrench???

 

Headgasket is not easy to change, it's not something simple like changing your brakes or sparkplugs. I recommend you pay the $500 or so and get in done right. Make sure you ask if the shop will back up their work with some kind of warranty.

 

sweet jesus u guys are crazy, if u have a day to do it, pay the 58 bucks and do it yurself...as of right now im in the middle of replacing my pistons with JDM ITR, and taking the head off was the least of my concerns. sure there is alot of wires and hoses to remove to remove the head, but to save 400 bucks, id do it any day

 

$58 bucks in your dreams.

I suppose you aren't replacing your head bolts?

 

i got quoted 58 bucks for a head gasket from acura, and theres no need to replace head bolts, and according to the dealership i work at, they agree, so yea, 58 bucks
