Great video. I have the same 2014 Accord V6 with 83k. The dealer told me it was time for a timing belt based on years(7yr). Have you seen many timing belts break based on 7-10 years? I live in the Northeast NY area so not sure if the weather plays a big role. I was hoping to wait until 100K miles. Also, how many hours are this job timing belt, water pump, and tensioner? The dealer wants $1900 including parts, which seems a bit high. Any advice is appreciated, Thanks.
That seems a bit high. We recommend t-belts based on the same schedule though. 7 years or 100k-ish, which ever comes first. I haven't seen any J series belts break but I have seen teeth shear off. Don't remember the mileage on those but they were pretty old. I'd say you're probably ok but plan on doing it within the next 15k. This particular car was one of the easier J series timing belts I have done, takes me a few hours but I also have a lot of experience and can knock these out fast. I don't know our exact pricing but I think our shop charges $1200-ish for this job parts and labor.
Negative on the crank seal, we just do it since we're there as preventative maintenance and that passenger side mount does not really support much weight so I remove it without a jack under the oil pan. If it seems like it's sagging excessively though, it wouldn't hurt to put a jack under there to support things until you remove it.
What tool setting did you use to take off the 10mm bolts on the upper timing covers? I am having hard time doing that. Maybe because I haven't taken off the engine foot mount section?
As seen here a dealership will run 1500 to 2000 bucks in 2024. The job will be guaranteed to be done right. Independent shops you'll save a few hundred, just conduct due diligence they are reputable
I only touch them if they're leaking or if I have to disturb the cam shaft (remove the cams), otherwise, I leave them alone, in my experience, J series cam seals almost never leak, even very old and high mileage ones.
Looks like your removing tensioner pulley, tensioner etc. from underneath the car while it’s in the air. How did you support the engine after you removed the motor mount?
Love doing these jobs, as long as there's no surprises, it's always quick and easy.
I saw 35k miles on the car, why did you changed to timing belt so soon? just curious ..Great Video!!
That was a lot of work... even with the right tools. HONDA messed up putting a timing belt instead of a timing chain on the v6. Thanks for the video
Glad it helped.

@@SkillCollectors Thank you!! that is helpful
A couple of questions: Do you have to change the crank seal, is there a jack under the engine before removing the motor mount?
Negative on the crank seal, we just do it since we're there as preventative maintenance and that passenger side mount does not really support much weight so I remove it without a jack under the oil pan. If it seems like it's sagging excessively though, it wouldn't hurt to put a jack under there to support things until you remove it.

Excellent skilled tasks. I wish I am younger again to try doing that jobs for my 2014 Accord V6.
Only 76653 miles so far.
This was perfect for what I gotta do for my car!
Glad it was helpful
Does the car need to be in drive or neutral to turn the crank bolt to tdc?
If it's a manual, it has to be in neutral, otherwise, just leaving it in Park is fine.
Thanks for the clarification!
That crank bolt is a son of a biscuit without air tools.
Love the music, love the videos 🔥
Thanks 🙏
It looks like it went smoothly! Great work!
Thanks dude, no hiccups thankfully 🙏
Assume you meant water pump not oil pump
How much would this service typically cost?

Love this video, will you be doing a valve cover gasket job on this vehicle?
Not this car specifically but if I get one scheduled for me, I'll be sure to film it.
Does the engine need support after you take the engine mount off?
No, it only drops about an inch or less in most cases.
did you have to do crank relearn procedure?
In my experience, after a timing belt job, I've never had to do that. Usually that's done after replacing the sensor.
Que marca es ese rachet
How many miles have to replace timing belt on that car ?
Usually around 100k.
Great video.
Do you need to replace the cam shaft seals?
I only touch them if they're leaking or if I have to disturb the cam shaft (remove the cams), otherwise, I leave them alone, in my experience, J series cam seals almost never leak, even very old and high mileage ones.
Looks like your removing tensioner pulley, tensioner etc. from underneath the car while it’s in the air. How did you support the engine after you removed the motor mount?
Put a floor jack under the oil pan
There's 2 other motor mounts still supporting it, so just removing that one doesn't allow the engine to move much.
