YOURE THE BEST!!!

Nice!

Seems like nobody on KZfaq has done it. They all seem to have different methods.. which one is right?

@@sethsmith4963 as long as the balance shaft doesn't move when align all the timing marks before you remove the belts then there wont be a problem

I can't seem to be able to lock the balance shaft at the right depth. I've spun it three times and tried to get something in during the whole process, I wasn't able to find it Right now I moved it back to TDC where it was. Car was running ok, but I find it odd I can't get the set up right. Any tips?

They actually sell those. Works wonders for the Honda crank pulley bolts www.amazon.com/Lisle-77080-Harmonic-Balancer-Socket/dp/B00RGNCV1U

Came here to say this. If you don't clock it correctly the motor will be out of balance. The dot on the sprocket face should be pointing to about 5 o'clock

Whats the point of locking it if the orientation marks are lined up?

The rear balance shaft is rarely correctly timed by just lining up the timing marks. The locking bolt is needed to correctly time the shaft. The 6 x 100 mm bolt, marked 74 mm from the end, can only be FULLY inserted into the shaft once every 3 revolutions. The other 2 revolutions of the shaft, it only goes in part of the way. The timing is correctly set when the bolt can be inserted all the way up to the 74 mm mark. Just how important this precise timing then is, is another matter. During my career I have come across quite a few shafts that were not correctly timed, yet the engine run reasonably smoothly.

@@ollimakkonen6481 Yes, you need to insert the bolt through the service hole on the right side of the engine, not the left... a 100mm bolt inserted 74mm to lock the inner gear. BriansMobile1 has a great video on this engine showing that exact procedure...

Thank You!

the water pump is timing belt driven

APDTY v6 or 2.3? Because 2.3 is not.

@@andrewjimenez6884 2.3 is i just had it done water pump is driven by timing belt

We drained the coolant out of the radiator, Once the coolant level gets down low enough, it doesn't drain out.

I don't see how that is possible. Both radiator hoses connect back to the engine at a level above the water pump. Did you drain it with the engine running so the pump forced water up and out??

When he jacked up the engine with the left side raised it put the engine at at an angle to where what water was left in the engine flowed to the right, away from the water pump housing...

There is a hole drilled into the shaft behind the sprocket. You insert a screwdriver or similar tool through it to immobilize the shaft while you use a socket to loosen the sprocket bolt.

show me the timing mark on a 2000 Honda Civic

people sometimes just change the cambelt but not the balance belt at the same time and eventually the balance belt breaks and wipes out the cambelt at the same time

Nope, it does not require any. The O ring is all.

No need for sealant on rubber seals for most cases. Generally adding gasket sealant is for corners where the rubber seal can't seal very well.

HondaSolutions do u have a vid with the correct procedure, i need to do this job .

I agree, the balance belt also has to be timed from oil pump side and wasn't shown. Just had to have it today. All above will work except the oil pump positioning. First of all there is 1:3 ration between oil pump pulley and pump itself which need to be found by removing bolt on the side from behind the engine and insert 4-5 inch pin and find that one revolution out of three where pin dives in. Next, make sure the groove on a sprocket points to thin line on the pump case, it's about 5pm which is actually correctly pointed in video, but I guess by accident. Other then that I'd say all above will work ok, regardless it differs from honda SM. I'd say it even clearer then the book as it actually shown in action. But that's only my opinion...

Uhhh RTFM..... lol

@@Seavoyager45 Thank you!

Very very good video for mechanic s but for youtubers apprendices like me need to be more especifc but is your time nothing we can do.God blessyou.

This was years ago and the engine is still purring like a kitten.

Actually, he did say that the rear (rightmost) balance shat pulley is timed and the orientation is at 5 o'clock. There is a casting on the engine block against which the pulley groove is required to be timed. Where he did go wrong, was that he had the front and rear balance shafts mixed up. The 6 x 100 millimeter locking bolt needs to be marked at 74 mm and is inserted into the maintenance hole, which can be accessed by removing the 8 mm bolt and washer that normally covers it. Incidentally, the bolt can only be fully inserted once every 3 pulley rotations, even though the timing marks are properly positioned on each rotation. This is extremely well demonstrated on the WILEY Motorsports video at kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pLdzha-Dsay0fYk.html. Slightly amateurish job, from the point of view of a technician with 50 years experience, but it does cover the important points and I'm sure many people will appreciate the guidance this video provides. Proper tensioning of the various bolts is important and lack of this is the main reason why the cover bolts break loose in the plastic housing.

Olli Makkonen so the cover bolt wasnt tensioned properly at the factory? Seems to me that Honda wants to sell replacement timing belt covers.

Hi Gene Friedman, not so much at the factory, rather the previous repairers. Rarely these around 20 or so year old Hondas are still running ex factory timing belts. Thanks for your comment, enjoy the life and have a nice day.
