I watched this video on Apr 1, 2011 . I did a Timing belt replacement today :) .. Thanks Eric
@SingleCamFTW No worries, I'm just happy to help. Thanks for the update and the great comment.
EricTheCarGuy has taught me everything i need to know about hondas. learned how to fix my own for 10 years now. Keep grindin cause this helps anytime i have a question all i have to do is watch your videos.
loving it dude, i wanna have a joint with you, i know u partake, dont lie! kEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
😂
@JTheGuitarPlayer I did line up the crank but just didn't highlight it in the video. I wasn't worried about scratching the oil pan it's aluminum. NEVER put anything on the dipstick 'o' ring, they are hard enough to get out as it is. Thanks for the comment.
@xtreamdreams Without looking at the marks for myself it's impossible to say, check the marks and make sure it's lined up it's really the only way to be sure. Once you have everything set where you think it needs to go and you set tension try rotating the engine over by hand to turn it 2 revolutions to check the alignment of the marks again.
@drsushimon Personally I think they are quite easy compared to some, in fact I can have one done in a little over an hour in the car, perhaps faster if I'm in the right mood. It is a matter of perception I suppose. Thanks for the comment.
@380gb I agree, it seems that the VO is well received however so perhaps a mix of both in future videos. Thanks for your comment.
@vipermech Seriously the gun was turned down and my compressor isn't all that. It does provide a measure of consistency though. Thanks for the comment.
@alphared11 Lots of people have liked that, I may be using it more in the future as a result. Thanks for the comment.
@Warkhan I keep experimenting at making my videos better and judging by the likes on your comment you might be onto something. Thanks for the comment.
@akosik4lbu THAT is my mission in life. Thanks very much for your comment.
@ProjectCarTV You can never argue with success as there is more than one way to get to grandmas house. Thanks for the comment.
@axenz1 That is the method outlined in the Honda service manual, the addition of using the hand is my contribution. Thanks for your comment.
THANK YOU!!!! It was really hard to find a video that gives such good instructions. no one ever shows of how they actually put the timing belt on and tension it.... They just tell u how to do it, you are the only one...
@jpmc271 Experience helps here too as I'm sure that torque wrench or not you won't repeat the same mistake again. BTW I've used air tools for years doing this job without incident, it's all about practice I suppose. Thanks for the comment.
@alfonso2501 Yes it was a salvage engine and not rebuilt so doing the tbelt and water pump was easier to do now than later. Thanks for the comment.
@drotimes4 It's way easier to be honest. On that particular day I wasn't feeling that well but I wanted to make the videos while I had the opportunity anyway. Thanks for the comment and the input.
@sophocha It shouldn't effect the timing if the belt stays on and yes it is the same for a DOHC. Thanks for the comment.
@EricTheCarGuy I FEEL EXACLY THE SAME WAY !!! i hear the other mechanic swearing as im always ready and hoping for a new challenge , the day goes so fast its unbelivable i like to come early and leave late and i dont even notice it. Now mondays are good days because a new week begin and the Snap-On truck is coming to give it a good start :D i've never been more happier with my life and im glad you know how i feel. Once again thank you so much
@writerofwriters69 Excellent point, looking back I wish I had done a 2 camera on this one but to be honest I wasn't into being a mechanic that day let alone making videos, I just wanted to make the best of it though as I had a lot of people asking about this video. Thanks for the comment.
@EricTheCarGuy Good video. I just did the same thing the other day on a friends car. The difference was that his belt snapped which required new valves. By the time the math was done for shop time - it was easier for him to just chance it buying another head from a scrapyard. We actually found a low mileage side swiped car with green coolant and no signs of overheat. I'm a big fan of keeping head with block unless both are machined true but - he needed transporation. So far it's all good.
@hondaslave I think I mentioned spinning it all the way round and rechecking the marks but if not nice catch. Thanks for the comment.
@adidas6804 Perfectly normal, the reason for it is that the cam has different loading forces on it based on the position of the cam itself because the valve springs tend to push it in the opposite direction depending on the cam position.
@murphythegolfer You didn't mention the type of car but if you follow the service manual recommendations you can't go wrong. There really is no such thing as a 'differential flush' you just change the fluid there and to be honest if you change the fluids regularly flushing really isn't necessary. Thanks for the comment.
@dandim23 Don't I know it, at the moment I'm just flat wore out. Thing is if I walk away it piles up and it gets more and more difficult to catch up. Thanks for the comment and for your understanding.
@jboydmv90 Second person to bring that up, quite simply because in all of these that I've done I've only seen maybe one go bad. This job was as budget as you could get so you save money where you can. Thanks for the comment.
shouldn't the crankshaft be rotated counter clockwise?
@RatanakTevy The white mark off by itself is TDC, the 3 marks you mention represent 16º BTDC and 2º before and 2º after, the center mark is the 16º. You should not have to reset ignition timing however after doing the job, in fact it should go back to spec 16º BTDC after you do the belt job.
@markkjay Yes you need to support the engine and remove the mount to install the timing belt on both this and the F series. I did a video on the F series timing belt, it's a fastener by fastener account of the procedure, it's available on the 'FixIt' page of my website, there is a link in the description.
@EricWaterTruck You do this enough and it gets easier, don't be intimidated just focus on one thing and a time and before you know it your done.
@poopalone I honestly don't remember. My opinion on your swap is that if you want a fast car start with a fast car and make it faster, don't make a slow car fast because by the time your done you would have spent a lot more in the process. If you love the car however then have fun.
@bojo101 Glad you liked it, thanks for the comment.
@qaz3000 That is the comment of the day if I ever saw one. I remember when I got my first job as a mechanic and how good it was to finally earn a paycheck for something I loved doing, it almost felt like stealing as I would have done the work for free. Thanks for the comment and good luck.
@zeppelin264 I did tighten the bolt after setting the tension through the access hole in the timing cover and yes once you lock it down it's in that spot for good.
@mirc225 Sorry to hear about that but it sounds like you got it worked out, thanks for the comment.
@TheIVAN6683 Your very welcome, thanks for the comment.
Thanks for the video, Eric. This gives me an appreciation for why a timing belt job costs so much at the dealer.
@Specialized1993 I'm glad the info helped, thanks for the comment.
@Migplease Not true, the bolt spins in the normal direction so don't turn it clockwise to loosen it. The tool is available on Amazon for a very reasonable price BTW and I strongly recommend you use it.
Hey Eric, i just wanted to let you know how much i appreciate this video and the engine removal on the civic, i recently blew a connecting rod in my 98 EX and used the video as a guide more or less to do the engine removal. I am mechnically savvy but never removed an engine, so i gave it a shot, it is currently out of the car and things went SMOOTH, so i appreciate the time you took to do this!
@Gruxxan Yep, behind the glovebox. Thanks for the comment.
@hobieslug45 I've done it a couple of times, thanks for your comment and for your suggestion, it's a good one.
@kennethwdc Actually I think a better solution is to get into a shop with proper lighting and a nicely painted floor to help bounce the light. Oh, and a lift too. :) Thanks for your input.
@EricTheCarGuy Have you ever seen some of the stuff Bisi Ezerioha has done with sohc Honda engines? He's gone to Grandmas house, picked up your Aunt, dropped off the dry cleaning, drove Gramps to shuffleboard, and came back with a 500hp non turbo 1320 screamer. He's done things for sohc Honda that nobody ever thought could be done.
BisiMoto - GOOD STUFF.
@benny5825 The ones that turn the front wheels. If you turn left and hear the noise it's usually the right axle and the opposite is true for the other side.
@spelunkerd That's exactly what I meant. The spring is only there to hold the belt initially, once you tighten the tensioner it's fixed for the life of the belt really.
I love to see the evolution of his channel!!
Congratulations Eric!
@ratko89 Sorry to hear that but the truth is that I've actually shot a couple of Civic timing belt videos that are a lot more in depth but as with my other full length videos that are over an hour long I will be selling that one, I made this one to appease those that just wanted a free timing belt video. I do however appreciate the comment though. Damned if you do and damned if you don't I suppose.
Eric! ECTG=Eric the Car God (not Guy). Obviously you don't know me but after watching several of your videos you seem more like a friend to me. You do a great job on your videos. Excellent camera work, lighting, diction and excellent explanations. You're a pro and it shows. Thank you. With the help of you videos I just successfully completed a timing belt and water pump change in my '93 Del Sol. Wish I could buy you a beer or a coffee. Keep up the good work!--Phil
@adidas6804 I have in the full length versions of the videos that I have for sale on my website. I haven't had time to edit the Civic video yet but when I do it does have the procedure on it.
@214jdizzle 488 characters is not enough for that sorry but other than what you see in the video it's really a matter of getting the accessory belts off and dealing with the space constraints which really aren't that bad. I hope to do a more detailed video at some point in the future though.
Your videos are very helpful. I always look through your video library first before I ask anyone or before I look anywhere else. Thanks for all the help!
@dasache It certainly makes it easier to get it in time when you install the new belt if it's in time to start with.
@Cloud2fou5 Your belt tension may be too tight or something may not be aligned correctly, I recommend you go back and check your work.
Hello Eric , just wanted to do a little feedback on all that you've done for me i've gone a long way from the broken boy trying to fix his clunker, for several years i hearned repair skill fixing everyone's car with Haynes repiar manual and of course internet knoledge which ETCG is a must! Im now a professional automotive technician working in a nice garage and earning good money All this whitout going to technical school i now have a nice car also and an apartment with a garage Thanks to you
@junior775 Glad to help, thanks for the comment.
@EricTheCarGuy You said not to turn it clockwise but between 1:09 and 1:26 when you were trying to line up the timing marks you were turning it clockwise. Should I follow what you did or should I turn the other way? By the way, this tutorial is by far the most detailed one I've ever seen. Thanks, Eric!
@Michiganborn1969 Normally I recommend installing the lower cover with the crank pulley installed so that you can see the mark before installing the belt on the cam to prevent that very thing. It's also not a bad idea to give the engine 2 turns to see if the marks line up before you button it back up too.
@mirc225 I can do it in about an hour on the car. I don't recommend replacing the cam sensor as they don't normally go bad. I really can't say how much torque but having the crank removal tool is your best bet.
@DOHCGsr That totally sucks, I wish I had one to give you, perhaps some day I'll be able to give one away in a contest, that would be cool.
@MrDaverouse Sounds like you don't have the belt tension right, you might try re-tensioning the belt just to be on the safe side.
@fastjdm Replace the water pump, CHECK the tensioner by spinning it and listening for noise, I don't suspect your going to find any so I would not buy it unless you need it.
Outside the car is preatty easy to do! Thanks for the video!!!
hey man your videos are awesome! but the only thing was the darkness, you should get some softlights for filmings. wont bug your eyes out, but give the picture a well lit, clear picture
Yes... I was trying to see how much tension was on that back side of the belt when he tapped on it, but it's too dark and I can't really see it. Just got my car all back together and it sounds like im hearing the timing belt whining from being too tight.. 😢
@Hondatech26 I did do a video on how to do a valve adjustment on a different car but the principal is exactly the same don't fret because that is in part 2.
@adidas6804 I have but it's been a while, it's actually much more cost effective to replace an engine than it is to rebuild it in my experience.
@murphythegolfer It sounds like a mixture problem so I don't think the tune up will help but it can't hurt. Perhaps check the fuel pressure during the time it's acting up as you may have a fuel pressure regulator problem. Probably not a bad idea to check for vacuum leaks either just in case.
@Zubirrex Yea, move the cam with a wrench to meet the belt rather than trying to move the belt to go onto the cam sprocket, at least that's what I do. Good luck.
@hondaslave I've done these for years the way I show in this video without incident, my methods are based off of the manuals procedure and some things I've picked up along the way. I'm sure if you do it the way I show in this video you will be fine.
@Drkvampire2001 I'm very happy to hear the video helped you do that job, it's always great to hear when my work actually helps people, thank you.
@TheIVAN6683 Salvage yard or dealer are the first things that come to mind. You might want to check some online sources as well.
@choidj Noted, thanks for the comment.
@MrDookie2011 Some days are harder than others. Thanks for the comment.
@offroadingmachine007 The best thing to do is check the service manual but you may be able to find some pics of how that is suppose to line up on the internet somewhere. To be honest I don't know for sure myself. Good luck.
@benny5825 I would check the axles as they are the most common cause of that noise in my experience.
@MrDookie2011 Yea that's pretty much it, just line the marks up before you remove the head and the belt, remove the head and after replacement line the marks up again and you should be good.
@MileyCyrus192 I might disagree on that one because the dipstick is held in by the lower cover on this model, I find that removing it makes life a lot easier. I think you misunderstood my comment, with the engine out of any car there is tons of room compared to in the car.
@jesselyons2002 Indeed it does. Thanks for the comment.
@poopalone I got it off of an old wiring harness, can't remember what the connector went to though I've had that tool for a while in fact it looks exactly like the one that Honda has.
I just re-adjusted my tensioner on my 92 honda civic and they car is doing well. Thanks for the video. Thumbs up.
@zbenes6741 This engine rotates counterclockwise so you don't want to turn it clockwise. In short you want to avoid turning an engine in the opposite direction of it's rotation.
@jun19020987 It shouldn't unless you move the cam or crank as you suggest, it's not a big deal if they do get a little out of time however as you can move them back into position before you install the belt.
@tinydx95t2 Thanks for the great comment, it's nice when people are on the same page, thanks.
@Gruxxan I would also be looking at the resistor first.
@bhstone1 In all the years I've been doing this I might have seen one bad tensioner, Toyota's on the other hand are a different story. Keep in mind this job is done on a minimal budget.
dude he looks soo baked
more than baked he's deep fried
Thats why he works for himself!
@Bushougoma It actually helps locate the pump on the engine, good question.
@jun19020987 I normally break the bolt loose before I even take the belt off, this will ensure that you stay in time when you remove the sprocket.
@Michiganborn1969 You shouldn't need to worry about it for another 100K so 182K I suppose or in 7 years whichever comes first.
@jasmenter Not rebuilt, what we call a Krylon rebuild would be more appropriate. I don't think the paint is special other than it will stick on for about a year and flake off. I wasn't really happy with this engine for the price.
Eric, I just thought id let you no that your the best! lol...u make the videos, edit them, put them up,and respond to everyones comments fast! its gotta be getting harder with every passing day, due to more people finding out about you, and putting up more videos....r u sure ur not superman?
Nice to see it happen out of the car, you always do a great job with your vids
@spelunkerd I actually did a video on valve adjustments on an Accord (that will also apply to a Civic) but I believe in the next video I run through these.
@offroadingmachine007 I'm surprised by that, you might see if you can find a forum on your particular vehicle as they often have that information somewhere posted on the forum.
@adidas6804 I can't go back and reshoot the video sorry but you want it to be fairly tight.
@groutaone Thank you for that! I really enjoy your videos as well when I get the time to watch them, these days I'm so busy keeping up with comments I barely have time to watch anything anymore.
Also, arent you turning it the wrong way when you are setting it to TDC? Imean I know you are gonna change the belt anyway, but isnt it good practice to go counter clockwise?
You said, "Once you do that (when you rotate the crankshaft counterclockwise and hold the cam gear tight with your other hand), nail down that 14".
I guess what you mean by that statement, is that there is a 14 mm bolt that goes through the lower cover plate that holds tension somehow on the tensioner. Right?
I always thought the tensioner was spring loaded, so it could flex a little if the belt stretched over time....
