[fastcelica20]

has anyone here has ever done timing belt, adjust their own valves, and install their own head gasket? im asking cause im doing it but im not great under the hood. the shop quoted me over 500 on this and im thinking WOW. the thing i need to know most is adjusting the valves and the timing belt. thanks yall

i paid over $500 to have my timingbelt done, it should be around there for most shops, some a bit cheaper, some a bit more

and changing headgasket alone would cost anywhere between $800 to $2k!!! yes, one shop actually quoted me $2,000 usd and the $800 was more than a quick estimate, but it should be closer to $1,000, i live in a big metro area, but if you live in smaller towns/cities, it should be cheaper
