No, no heat spikes, no white smoke, no normal indicators of HG problems. I guess I just wanted to do the leakdown test anyway since it's such a common problem. But if there are no symptoms, maybe it's a waste of time
Body is in great shape, and it's an auto. Shifts just fine (shift to 2nd is a little jerky, but based on what I've read this sounds normal). Not a great pic, but here she is:

Yeah I figured. Some mechanics kept tellling me that it should have been done at 60K so I shouldn't have to do it now, but I don't buy it. Based on what I've seen, Acura calls for a 90K timing belt, not a 60K. I'll get it done.

Good call. Since I don't have the BHG symptoms, I really want to do this quickly so I don't blow one. I bet anything that EGR is completely blocked.
