To 1a auto, I noticed that in this video when the engine was timed , the technician turned the engine clock wise. Now I know hondas turn counter clockwise, my Honda Civic does. Does it matter? Does this work fine?

You are told in the Timing Belt kit that you must turn crank counterclockwise to properly take up the slack. Going clockwise and improper belt tension will result in a violent correction of the tensioner and or spring and or belt. You just have to snug up the 19mm so that you can turn the engine without loosening the bolt. Make sure you get 2 10mm wrenches on the Alternator wire connector or you will snap the bolt and you'll be buying a new one like me. Yes you have to remove the valve cover to remove the top timing belt cover. That's the easiest part of the job! It took me almost 8 hours to complete. I used an Impact for the tougher bolts and nuts. No problem getting my crank off. I had 150 psi on a 1/2" NapaPro impact driver. There was antisieze on the bolt so this was not the first Timing Belt on my 02 civic. Working without a hoist of course. I removed the upper PowerSteering Bracket as well. Don't forget there are 5 14mm bolts on that big bracket.

If you are going to do this job, make sure to turn the engine over COUNTER clockwise. And it’s probably a good idea to disconnect negative battery cable so you don’t short anything out when removing alternator (be sure to have your factory radio code).

The reason he turned the engine clockwise has to do with the way the bolt is threaded into the crankshaft. If he tried to turn the engine in the opposite direction (CCW) the bolt would start to come out and not rotate the crankshaft.
I like that you guys used all common hand tools to do the job because not everyone has power and air tools. I always get nervous doing this kind of work because its easy to get lost in the reassembly of everything. But with this video it helps alot. Thanks!

Hi 1A, your videos have helped us on numerous occasions, so THANKS! In no way are we trying to discredit this video, because it is right on the money, with the exception that this engine rotates counter clockwise, so when rotating it to make sure the timing and belt tension is correct, you have to turn it counter clockwise , not clockwise..

I'm 69 yo and now I know to pay someone the greenbacks instead of making a big mistake myself.
This engine rotates counter clockwise, you didn't tension the belt. You put the most amount of slack possible on it. You will be lucky if it doesn't skip enough teeth to destroy every valve! Other than that its a very informational video for people looking to brush up.
Great video. A couple things I ran into, 1) Better to leave timing belt tensioner spring off until belt is on, then hook up spring. Otherwise I couldn't get belt on. 2) While torn down it's very simple to change crank shaft seal. Almost put mine back together, but was concerned about a bit of oil that was at bottom of timing belt cover, then realized likely that seal. When crankshaft pulley off and timing belt off, just slide the lower timing belt gear off the crank, slide off the giant washer with slots in it, and pry out old seal with screw driver without scratching sides. May also want to consider camshaft seal while apart. Just need camshaft locked before taking off top timing belt pulley.
Just completed this job and the video was super helpful. I'm amazed by some of the shots they were able to get with so little room to work during some of the steps. I highly recommend this video as a reference.

Thank you for the detailed video. This video helped me replace my wife's 2005 Civic LX timing belt and water pump. Additionally, I replaced the crankshaft seal, which was leaking. I do not recall the video mentioning the valve cover gasket. It must be replaced unless you want an oil leak from the valve cover.
The best tutorial video I've seen in a long time. I just picked up a 2001 project civic, only for the purpose of teaching myself the ins and outs of motors. It only needs a head gasket but I'll do the timing belt and water pump while I'm at it. Thanks again! I'm about to start the search for a head gasket change video.

Awesome Video!!! Successfully replaced belt, tension pulley and water pump. Thought my water pump was the issue, but ended up being the spring on the tension pulley failed. Lucky the timing belt didn't skip a beat before I got to it. Also had to replace the lower cam cover as it was fractured. Very weird.Really appreciated the part about the 19mm cam pulley bolt. What a b___h!! Used a cheater bar and really reefed on it and it finally broke free. Don't know if I would have gone all-out on it if it hadn't been for the video. Wish I had smaller, skinnier fingers when working on these Honda engines.Thanks Again. Saved me several hundred dollars.

Note that this car has an aftermarket air intake. The stock intake is right up against the back of the valve cover. You can get the valve cover off without taking the air filter box off but it's just kind of tough. Taking the air filter box off makes it quite a bit easier. Apart from that, great video.

Great guide I just finished. Not too bad of a job for my first time(:

I watched this just for fun, but do not rotate your engine the WRONG way when you get the T-Belt back on, to verify the timing, it is called "the wrong way" both as a reason and a description. Other than that, everything else covered was very well done indeed. Replace everything under the T-Belt cover as a rule.
If you’re having trouble with putting on the timing belt, try this tip screw on the tensioner but not all the way give it 4 to 5 turns make sure it’s loose do not hook the spring until you install the belt. It makes it a lot easier to install the timing belt , once it is in and the timing is correct you can tighten up the tensioner connect the spring and pull the pin. 16:58

(fingers) and then after two turns of crankshaft (this so that it does the four times) if the marks are well in the camshaft. Is there where I tighten the tensioner screw and remove the grenade lock?

When you install the tensioner is there a certain place that is should sit or do just put it where ever in lands

I'd like to see a close shot of the pulley on the crank before the bolt is installed. When I put my pulley back on it appeared to not slide fully onto the crank and that concerned me. In other words, the end of the crank was not flush with the pulley. If that is normal, great. I have nothing to worry about except that I'd like to see the key be a little longer.

The engine should be turned counterclockwise when checking timing belt installation. A new 5mm longer bolt is needed for the tensioner. During production in 2002 the tensioner was redesigned and the newer tensioner is 5mm thicker.

Doing this this weekend. Have you ever done this before you did it to this car? How do you know how to torgue the crank shaft or whatever to 148 lbs torgue? I'm close to 150 so almost my entire weight tighten it one good time?
my 2004 civic has no hex on crank pulley for me to use special tool? ever here of that on an 04 ex coupe, 1.7 vortec?
Small tip: This car has an aftermarket intake. The original one is a plastic square air bot held in by 3, 10 mm screws, and once it comes off (it needs to come off to give space) make sure to cover up that throttle nicely.
Thank you for the video, much appreciated. Is this the same procedure for the 1.6 please? Im going to attempt the job for the first time. Is there anything els I need to be mindful of? I did see in another video to keep the engine mount bracket bolts in order aswell as draining the cooling system with engine running and heaters on full is this procedure needed? An answere to my last couple of questions before starting would be greatly appreciated. 😊
What do you do if your timing marks are not lined up? And are you supposed to hear your cylinders releasing pressure?
My boy came to me with this same problem. After getting over the shock of the water pump being part of the timming assembly, not where is should be, i watched your video and we decided that we could do this. With following this video step by step we were able to get the job done. We had to replace the lower timming cover, which we finally found on Partsgeek.com, the only place that had them, we had this vehicle back on the road in two days [1 day waiting for the part}. Thanks for a great video, we may not have been able to do it with out you!
This is a great video. Thanks for doing it. Im going to do this tomorrow. In the video you say to torque the crankshaft pulley nut to 141 ft. lbs. the chiltons manual i have says 181 ft. lbs. What did everyone use that did this? 141 or 181? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

+pganewman Thanks for checking us out! For this particular model it was set to 141 however this may change depending on the individual vehicle. These videos are guidelines and if the manual states something different, it's always best to go with what the manual says. 1AAuto.com
