Well the description says it all. We have this Honda Civic 1.7 that got towed in with a "crank no start." It was an easy mystery to solve though...

I bought a 04 civic ex with 130k with broken timing belt for $500. The body and interior was immaculate!! I just bought a jdm engine for $550, a gasket kit for about $100, and a timing belt/water pump kit for $70. After all said and done, I had a running car for around $1300. Still have it 4 years/80k miles later!

hxtr timing chains also stretch and skip teeth. Most people think timing chains are the be all end all, they aren’t. They are better than Belts but with newer cars they have sides and guides. It’s not like the old 350 motors with a chain and gears only. Still have some of the same belt problems.

@oldskoolfunk71 8 жыл бұрын

Great diagnostics. That Civic is definitely an interference engine. Looks like those pistons kissed the valves for sure. A lot of the Civics, Accords, Preludes are interference engines. Its a bad day when a Honda timing belt breaks. Best option for your customer is a different completely rebuilt head $240-$300 , $250 head gasket set with bolts, belt, tensioner, water pump etc. Thats if he can salvaged the pistons, in some cases you can unless they have a hole. But he has to do it his self DIY. My daughter just did a head gasket on this same engine 1.7L the video will be out soon. Great work South Main you handle your content like a real boss, God Bless.

Was doubling clutching as I was downshifting from 4th to second and just as I was coming out of the curve hit the redline and that was all she wrote. Had my dad help me tow her back home and before the night was over, I had a new belt on her and was ready for some more fun with the Hondo. Love that car, great on gas and because she was a rust bucket I could park her anywhere and not worry about door dings.

Yeah. I had that happen on a 2004 Aveo LS at about 120K. The damage to the engine was minor despite me being on the gas at the time (had it floored going about 70 on the highway, trying to get around a truck). In my case, it was a pulley that broke. My dad and I did the job, and it went surprisingly well. Kicked up and ran for a while. The bottom end of the motor went about 20,000 miles later due to oil pressure issues that developed with that motor. Sold it for a grand and got the Taurus a few months later.

Arrr shucks. Would have been EPIC to see another multi part video series on doing the head on a Honda engine. The RAV4 and EJ253 vids were epic. If it was a manual transmission it might have been worth getting an engine from a scrap yard, but chances are the transmission doesn't have much life left in it at 165k and probably not a whole load of maintenance. I prefer Toyota's. But my sister has whats sold in the US as a Honda fit. Its literally had nothing go wrong with it in 9 years/70,000 miles besides some judder in the CVT that a fluid change fixed. Its a strange engine, 1.4 petrol, SOHC and its chain driven. Its actually as efficient as a diesel if you drive it properly. Gotta love Asian vehicles.

Eric whats your opinion on removing the plastic engine covers for good. I feel they contain the heat and cause part failures . ie .... coils.

We had an x5 come in from the dealer one day with this condition. It was out of gas and the gas gauge was off a little. You could tell as soon as you started cranking it.

+tomswonderfulworld The only ones I've pulled off had the belt teeth sheered off by the crank gear, fortunately for the owners they all just needed a belt to get back on the road.

Have you ever seen a situation like this damage the piston rods or do the valves/piston crown take the hit?

Can you do a video of a 2012 honda civic lx 1.8 liter where the crank position sensor is located thanks Reyes

By the way, random questions for you Eric. For starters, wouldn't it not matter if they kept cranking it given once the belt breaks the valves freeze wherever they were at? And secondly, do you bother to torque spark plugs or do you just thread them "tight"? The latter is a question I've seen debate on but I don't think anyone wrenching for a living would bother with it. Thanks again for the great videos, I'm learning a bunch from ya :)

You can get by with irregular oil changes on a cam in-block motors OHV, and belt driven OHC. Chain driven OHC not so much. Yes you have to change a belt (before it breaks!), buts it cheaper long term, even with diligent oil changes than replacing chains and adjusters IMO, more likely to stay on the road and quieter.
