make sure to get a HONDA timing belt. I was going to do mine myself, but i found a shop that will do it for 200 bucks. If it costs 200 to stay outta the cold, then so be it lol.
You could have taken the $200 you spent on paying for labor on the timing belt and bought a torpedo style heater. Used ones can be bought for like $100 that are a pretty high BTU. (I am assuming you have a cold garage like my self). I plan to get my self a 200K-300K BTU kerosene torpedo heater.

well my car is in texas with my brother. While I am over here in Kuwait, and it hardly gets cold but im not for sure because I am never in texas for a winter. Seeing that i am deployed so I have winters off for racing and most of car buying is during the winter anyway. So by the time I return the car is in better shape than it normally is.

holy crap. youd better have a big garage. we have 280k btu heaters for work, for drying paint or texture, and on low, you cant stay in the room for more than a few minutes at a time. that would be nice in a garage though, youd only need to run it for a few minutes now and then.

I have a two car garage that is not insulated. And it gets damn cold in Chicago, most of the winters its in the 20s if not colder. And im gonna get a 200K-300K cause im gonna try to get mine off a contractor, and thats what they use. I think that for my garage, 175K would prolly be good enough but i dunno if my contractor guy uses 175k. And its good to buy more BTU because you can always turn it down.
