Just a note if someone has not already mentioned. Loosen the camshaft gear bolt 1st before removing timing belt that way you don't have to block the gear, and you will not risk the camshaft rotating. Same when tighting. Looked at your video for a refresher before doing the job again. Thanks Great job.

All seals snd gaskests i would meed for this job is it necessary to change the cam shaft seal ???

Hey John i have a question on my d15b7 when i bring my Cam to TDC my crank is not lining up with the single line (next to the other 3) i can’t get both to match only either or , when i turn my crank to TDC i put my dipstick in cylinder #1 to verify piston is all the way up and it is not , I’d say it’s all the way down and I’m just trying to get motor in TDC before removing crank

I watched many d series timing belt videos including Eric the car guys before doing mine and in all of them they say the tension side of the belt should be on the exhaust manifold side, left side when looking at the cam gear dead on. You say it's the other way round. Who knows you may be right but I just thought I would mention it.

So when you spin the crank to get tdc you are also spinning the pulley above to tdc?. To take off the crank bolt with the 17 you dont have to put anything in the pulley to choke it from spinning losing from tdc ? Im just a little confused because he used a 17 to get tdc and then the same bolt that turned to get tdc was the one that came off to acces the waterpump. Please elaborate

@lifted4evr

2 жыл бұрын

Pretty sure he was able to go about it this way because he used an impact gun which broke that 17 loose and spun it back without cranking the pulley out of alignment to tdc. So if you're not using an impact gun like that you would have to use that Honda tool and a breaker bar to crank against eachother to break the 17 crank bolt loose while keeping the pulley in it's place.

Hey dude, I just got an insurance check so I’m asking advice from the Honda guys I follow and trust. I have $10k cash and I get to buy a weekend-only 2nd car and I’m surrounded by nothing but curvy mountain backroads with no traffic, even before the lockdown. It might see a drag strip or a few laps at VIR 2-3 times a year. SO, the best $3500 EG or EK sedan I can find on the East Coast and then $6500 in mods immediately (B18C/LS VTEC/B20 VTEC or maybe even an H, fresh clutch and maybe an LSD so I don’t have to pull the engine any time soon, wheels, tires, mild suspension, pads and rotors) OR a $9000 ‘13 Civic Si sedan with 100k miles and then spend $1000 on maintenance. If I go with the ‘13 then mods would be done $200-400 per month, so not super quickly. What would you do? Really appreciate your input and of course, your content! Keep up the great videos. I watch every single one.
