Hello CL,

TIMING BELT $ 23.29
CAM SEAL $ 4.81 X 2
VALVE COVER GASKETS $ 8.74
TIMING COVER GASKETS $ 13.42,
WATER PUMP $ 111.22

Would suggest swapping tensioner while you're in there. Also, change all fluids: Coolant, ps, tranny, brake, etc.

Thanks Blanco, Will do, I'm having a mechanic do the service since im too busy to do it my self.. Anyone have an idea what should be a fair cost just for the labor?

BLKG3

I was quoted $320 for the labor. Does that sound good?

burny

do drive belt also

If that's labor for everything, that sounds like a pretty fair deal. Burny has a good point too.

320 sounds pretty good price, doing the valve cover and cam seal etc 3-4 hours to do. those take some time!

Thanks guys! Deeply appreciated.

I live in FL also. What shop are you doing this with?

If you want to cover all your bases, you could change your engine air filter & pcv valve, and your cabin air filter.

wow 320 for labor is a goood deal, you should adjust the valves too. i know the valve adjustments are a itch and a half to do and it takes forever

@LOWGS300..Motion Motorworks by Tamiami airport is the shop. I pretty much interviewed the mechanic/owner and he was very knowledgeable. I feel comfortable allowing him to do the work. plus he came recommended from several friends.

Thanks for the info Neegroy and Blanco.

Also, if it hasn't already been done, now would be a good time to clean the throttle body, and MAF sensor while he's in there.

I live near Tamiami. I'll go check out this shop once I get a chance. So $320 and what type of service will be done? Full tune up including what?
