In this video I'll go in detail how to perform a major service on a Honda Engine including timing belt, water pump, timing belt tensioner and balancer belt, valve cover gasket, camshaft seals, camshaft caps and more.

Quick note, putting in a separate comment for visibility: sticking the drill bit through the access port on the side of the block for the balance shaft is not optional; it's actually required. I know you did so anyway, but I wanted to explain it for anyone who might be tempted to skip this step. The balance shaft pulley on that side is driven through a gear reduction. What that means is you can have the mark on the belt-driven part lined up yet the balance shaft still need more rotations for it to line up within the engine! The drill bit in the access port allows you to probe when the balance shaft inside the engine is in the right place, as you can't tell that only by looking at the belt-driven wheels.

I love my Prelude. Thanks for teaching some mechanic out there how to do this.

It's all about the while you are in there with these flip cars. I'm doing a volvo now that needs a water pump. Of course it runs off the timing belt. So I figured change the belt, water pump, seals etc. It is to the point now where I might break even but I figured I have not done one before so it's a learning experience on how to time an engine. I want to prove to myself I can do it.

It took me a moment to remember why that balancer shaft needs to be in time. Of course, that shaft spins counterweights to smooth vibration. So the counterweights of that shaft need to be in time with the moving weights of the crankshaft, reducing net vibration.

I just want to say your "how to videos" are up at the Top of Quality. Your video on how to bypass the starter relay on a Toyota was really helpful, being that I own a Camry that wouldn't crank one morning. I have been driving it almost a year without the relay I just have a horn button mounted to start the car.

Thanks for making this video; looking forward to more Prelude content! A few years ago when I did this, the best/only resource on KZfaq for timing belt on Honda H/F engines was based on an Accord, which is of course F-series and only single cam. I really appreciate your explanation of the two different tensioners and how and when and why they work, because it can be a bit of a head-scratcher the way they're interlocked by being on the same shaft and how you can't put the timing cover back on without first undoing the tension-holding nut again.

This brings back memories. My ex had one with the 4 wheel steering. I changed the timing belt. The crank bolt was very, very tight. Cool car, but not very good gas mileage for a Honda. I was disappointed.

Looks like an expensive job changing that timing belt although you got it done pretty fast.

Whoever plans on trying to replicate this job. I’d highly suggest you loosen the cam bolts while the timing belt is still on so you don’t need to mess around with holding the cam with a drill bit or using the wrench to hold it. Secondly, I wouldn’t skip out on the balancer shaft seals as the the front one(left side) pops out sometimes.

Honda should bring back the Prelude... but have it made by BMW. And also make it a SUV. An EV SUV. Yeah, that would make sense. Wouldn't every Honda Prelude fan want that?

Did you have to support the engine when removing the motor mount?

He did not . . . My advice you should always support it. His excuse was because he was going to be up and down with the lift but that’s no bueno…. Always support the engine put the new mount and keep working but never leave it hanging by one mount. Smh

Whats the purpose of this, we cannot see everything because you are not showing everything in detail. You are not explaining in detail.. so that we can replicate this..
