Timing Belt or Other
Getting the belt done on the 05 civic dx with 65k on it. Anything else I might expect to nee work while he has the area apart? I thought $350 OTD with Honda OEM parts was ok by a master Honda tech. When do valves need adjusting if they do? Thanks
If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Re: Timing Belt or Other
I think anymore, Hondas criteria for adjusting valves is "if they are noisy".
Loose valves get noisy.
Problem with that is, some of Hondas valves tend to get tighter instead of looser.
Tight valves burn.
You will probably be just fine to let it wait til 100k tho...
