Mine was 450 with all OEM parts, ordered by the shop doing the work. I wish I lived in FL just so I could take my car to this guy.

Yeah, I'm definitely going to do some research...

Thanks for the tips, so you all feel comfortable getting the work done at local well reputable shops? Instead of Honda

For a V6 (like yours) - it'll run $750-850 using OEM parts with labor.

If you had a 4 Cyl. OEM parts, it would be like $450-500

If you use aftermarket quality parts (which you can) $650 would be reasonably priced. Most likely at an independent shop, specialized in Imports.

V6 is not as easy as a 4 cyl. - that's for sure.

If you have a mechanic friend I would pay him to do it, watch him do the job so next time you can do it yourself.

run to the till 110k miles, save up some money, then get the belt done. just take it to a local shop and have them do it for about 400.

Mine snapped at 89k.. bent all my valves, marred the pistons, warped the heads. You guys have some balls running past 100k.
