that's not a bad price.. I had someone tell me the other day that a shop quoted them 1200 to replace a clutch on a 96 camry. It happens. lol
if you can do it yourself, I say go for it, but cam timing isn't something to fuck around with. If you're not mechanically inclined, get a friend who is and I'm sure you 2 could tackle it. Just know that it needs to be in correct time when you put the head back on. Otherwise you fuck shit up. lol
PS. To all that made SOHC comments earlier in this thread, there actually was an integra over in austrailia and I think japan got a couple models of it that was an 100 hp awd sohc integra. :thumbs up
