My timing belt went on my honda oddsey(2002) the repair shop it was towed to said that I would need a new engine(used from junkyard), which would be about 3500 to 3700 all together. Does that seem correct. The guys seem honest I just ant to make sure that I am not being taken advantage of. They said when the timing belt went it killed the engine

Hi John,

If your engine is a 3.0 liter engine, it is an interference engine and the belt giving way would damage the engine, usually the valves would get bent.

Sorry I am not able to provide an extimate of the used engine and you could shop around and get a second opinion on the price.
