Timing quesions
I have a 99 civic dx and I'm looking to replace the timing belt. I've gotten quoted at about 450 to do this but it seems a little steep seeing the engine is a sohc so if anyone has had theirs replaced or knows how much it is let me know. Oh and I don't need the water pump replaced or anything else I just want timing belt that's it.

Get the water pump replaced also it is very easy to do while he is already in there, but a huge pain in the dick if it goes bad later on. $450 seems fair to me. SOHC or DOHC doesn't matter, they both use one belt and take the same amount of labor. Hope that helps

Agreed. Replace the water pump. You already have everything opened so a couple bolts and you have the water pump out.
The timing belt kit costs around $150. The $450 is a reasonable fee IMHO. You'll understand why once you've attempted this DIY job.
