The camshafts have holes that line up with the end caps on the timing belt side. If you put a small allen wrench through the hole on end cap and then camshaft it will line up those camshafts. Then you only need to make sure your crankshaft is lined up on it's mark which is located on the topside of crankshaft and engine block. Doing this avoids the hassle of marking the timing belt.

Wrench life 604 I know to well of the Honda crank pulleys lol 😂. Had to do it twice on my civic lol once to do the timing belt and once to do my head gasket. I broke a breaker bar during my first one. Thank god for impact guns tho. On the real those crank pulleys are one of the hardest bolts I have ever gotten off. For those who work on Honda’s especially on this level invest in a really good impact gun

Hi, thanks for the video! This is a great one! I got my mechanic to bust loose my crank pulley for me. The problem is I can’t get the engine nuts loose. I’ve soaked them in deep creep many times over days, hit them with a big big hammer, tried a bid breaker bar. Now one nut is starting to get rounded corners….. I will go to somebody in the neighborhood next.

You should put the valve cover ground strap on the nearest valve cover stud to get it grounding the engine properly. When it’s on that timing belt cover bolt hole, it’s actually isolated from the engine by the valve cover gasket, so it’s not actually grounding anything.

@devonvivarais9457 5 жыл бұрын

question for ya! first time doing a b swap into my ef hatch i got the motor in and started it , the timing belt is running off the cams , i remembered i accidentally took off the tensioner bolt but i put it right back in would that have maybe messed up the tension of the belt and causing it to run off the cams? If so should i just put it to TDC and make sure the marks line up and then put tension on the tensioner again and tighten it up? let me know thanks a lot !

@Wrenchlife604 5 жыл бұрын

Yah make shure it didnt skip a tooth. But id take off the top cover and valve cover. Verifiy the cams line up. And on the crank pulled you will see 3 sets of lines. And a odd line less than a cm away from the 3 grouping. Thats the tdc line. Make shure the tdc mark lines up to the crank pointer and the cams face up .

@Wrenchlife604 5 жыл бұрын

Easier to verrify that way. Before rippig everything apart. Make shure the cams are facing up. Becauae the tdc pointer will line up twice. One on the exhaust stroke one on the compression stroke. U want tdc on compression stroke

Great video! congrats! Please help me , previous mechanic eliminated the lower cover and it no longer exists, can I set the timing without it and avoiding to take out that hard to loosen Crankshaft bolt as I am going to be using the same time belt? I just needed to replace some rocker arms. If I place piston number one on TDC, both UP arrows are ok, isnt it on time?

@Wrenchlife604 4 жыл бұрын

Mark everything. If you dont have a lower cover you can just loosen the tensioner and slip the belts off the cam gears. Also seen people ziptie the belt to the camgear, impact off the camgear nut then remove the camshaft.

Yes. You can do it like that. Be carfull that the crank dosnt move then. The #1 piston can be at tdc. But you can still be a little off on the crank. Its hard to get the #1 piston at correct tdc but you can get it close

Unless the plastic cover is missing a few screws it shouldnt be rubbing. A too tight belt will make a whine noise. Which is kinda common. Take it back to the mechanic for a second opinion

@Wrenchlife604 5 жыл бұрын

Spray it down with wd40 or whatever spray you like in the center. And let it soak for a few hours. . Then when you try and remove it. Use the same technique i used and kinda micro shake it and pull and it should come out. Never had a honda one get stuck. Avoid using a torch because theres a seal behind there that you can wreck. But if u need to. U might need to use a small propane torch. Be safe.

Hey man, nice video. Can you explain why the painted marks on the new belt will no longer line up after spinning the engine?

Because the crank vs the cam spin at diffrent ratio. For ever 1 full spin of the crank the cam gear only turns 1/2. So the painted belt marks will be off after the engine spins over once

Where he made his paint pen Mark's on the original timing belt, when you transfer those paint Mark's to the next belt you need to count each tooth on the belt from paint mark to paint mark, this just guarantees that you will match back up and keep your timing.
