id talk to an independant. i dont think any would be too offended if you
bought a pump, belt, and honda coolant, brought it to em, and told them
you "were gonna do it yourself, but changed your mind". they might bump
the labor up a bit since they wont be making any profit off the OEM
parts you bought.
