timing belt
I am hating my car..sorry ranting....
ok so last night my car just dies.....and luckily i die in front of some backyard mechanics....the diagnose what sounds to them as a timing belt(its turning over twice as fast as it should) so today after my car has been sitting over night...i go to my local shop and they say a timing belt will be 300$....plus 100$ for towing...but as i am leaving he says you know theres a chance that it has bent a valve....DAMNIt so my question is.....what are my chances it has bent a valve..my car's got 215km....

^^^^ yeah that was my fuxored timing belt... they can go sooner - luckily for me it was later.
Does that include anythign else or is that just the timing belt and labour?
I paid under $300 for my timing belt, alt. belt, a/c belt, water pump, seals,- all OEM iridium spark plugs including the renting of the compressor. It's DIY - along with crying in the corner/cursing/nightmares with the TI Pit crew and a lot of broken/returned tools.

the resone would be the piston may have hit the valves becuse they had stopped moving

My car is at 205 000 and I just had the Acura dealer replace
Timing Belt for the second time. I also did
Water Pump
A/C belt
Power steering belt
Alternator belt
Full cooling system flush
Manual Trans change
Oil Change
Rotate tires
For $355 or so
I get mad hookups
