Really nice to be able to see the job done with the engine outside the vehicle. I've see a lot of video where they do it in the vehicle and it's hard to tell what they are doing sometimes. Mine is due for replacement and I'm trying with the idea of doing it myself. I've never done a timing belt so I'm still feeling a little unsure if I'm up for the job. Regardless, seeing it this way made some the steps a lot more clear. Thank you!
@@brianrosenlof388 It can be intimidating at first but just watch couple videos and have the right tools ,you can do it. Make sure the engine is timed before removing anything and double check your work after repairs
Very good video, don't sell yourself short! Very good explanation, documentation and hints along the way. I hope I don't have to do this, but if I do, I am prepared.
I'm assuming you are talking about cam seals? If so, pay attention as the cam might spring either back or forward. Loosen the bolt (17mm) using an impact gun if you got one if not you can lock the cams and use a ratchet or wrench to break it loose. To pull the seal out I use 2 small screws. Avoid prying with flat blades as that can cause issues and leakage after installing new seal. I hope you get the idea if not im sure someone has a video on this job.
Only use Mitsuboshi or original Honda timing belt. Any other belt will fail prematurely and ruin the engine. Happened to me with this exact Gates timing belt. Expensive rebuild of the heads because is an interference engine.

Great video
Its probably not the tensioner leaking. You should remove the oil pump housing and replace the o-ring.
Ty👍 Bless you too

I used Dayco kit ( you can get it through rockauto.com) or you can take continental brand.

Thanks for your video.
Just it doesn't easy step. Because you jumped belt installation section.
Horrible. You did not show the belt being placed and offsetting the timing marks.
No good video dont show the belt instalación
