I bought my CB a month ago and was told when I bought it that the timing belt was a little too tight. It drives and runs great, but it does sound like it is too tight. Example (not my car but mine does make the same noise):
Example of what it sounds like.
I called a few shops locally and got a quote from one saying that it would take 3 hrs at $100/hr to do the repair and another saying that I should take it to the guy who I bought it from and see if he can fix it. The guy I bought it from is a tech, but not sure if I want to take it to him because why didn't he fix it before he sold it? After reading the manual and looking at a few videos online about how to do it, I'm sure that I can do the job myself but I don't have the tools.
My question to you fine folks is this, do you think that it is worth doing it myself and purchasing the tools for the job that would cost as much as getting it done at a shop, or do you think that I should take it in and get it done? If you've done this before how difficult is it and what are your tips/tricks if you have any?
