The camshaft sprocket is p/n 4448 690 and will cost about $56 from the dealer.
(Please note: the 1995 and down 2.5L is not the same as the 1996 and up 2.5L)

you better go down there and make sure that they are telling the truth. i was down at the stealership last friday because the power steering adjustment bolt snapped on my 05 civic and they took the belt out of the backseat of my car with out telling me and tried to sell me a new one for 55$ and tried to add another 55$ to put it on with the new bolt and another $600 to order a new crankshaft position sensor and another $500 to put it on. after i found the service tech with my belt i got the h-e double hockey sticks out of there. i already had the sensor and all i needed was the bolt which was only 4$ so i ended up wasting 4$ and about 4 days of trying to fix the sensor.

so before you ended up spending money there have them show you what they are talking about. it might save you in the long run

got my truck back. Running like a champ. Two additional concerns. The coolant hose that goes behind the engine and connects to the thermostat. Looks pretty bent. Does anyone have a pick of what there's looks like?
also, the dealer used my ebrake which doesn't work right. Now it's like my rear brakes are partially engaged. Any ideal how to release them until I get it fixed?
thanks
Hutch

Sounds like the short E-brake cables that go into your rear drums and attach to the shoes are toast, and the dealer just happened to find that out. It's not hard or expensive to replace those...think I paid less than $50 for mine and spent a couple of hours replacing them and re-tensioning the cable/system. There's a good diagram/explanation in the downloadable service manual in the FAQ section of this forum.
