HOW TO: DIY Timing Belt Replacement on a $1400 Acura TL V6 (Crank Bolt Struggle Nightmare!)
In this video, we DIY replace the timing belt replacement on our 2010 Acura TL AWD. This process is for the 3.7L V6 (called the J37) used in the all-wheel-drive SH models of the Acura TL from 2009-2014. It was similarly in the 2007-2013 Acura MDX, 2009-2012 Acura RL, and 2010-2013 Acura ZDX. The process is also similar in Honda vehicles such as the Honda Accord, Honda Pilot, Honda Odyssey, and others.
Highlights include:
Step 1: Remove Crank Bolt (Method 1) 0:20
Step 2: Remove Crank Bolt (Method 2) 0:42
Step 3: Rotate Engine to Top Dead Center 1:53
Step 4: Remove Tensioner and Motor Mount 2:35
Step 5: Install the tensioner 4:04
Step 6: Install the new timing belt 4:33
Step 7: Check Timing 5:01
Step 8: Fire it up! 6:42
The timing belt should be replaced every 7 years or 105,000 miles. It is also an interference engine, so if the belt snaps, the internals could be damaged.
Ours had a bad tensioner - you can hear this at 0:25 in our video.
Pro-tips:
1. Rent the 19mm removal socket from Autozone.
2. Buy heavy-duty sockets and extensions. We broke some during
removal.
3. Air and electric impacts, including an Earthquake XT, didn't work. We recommend using a massive breaker bar instead.
4. The accessory belt tensioner pulley uses a 14 mm center.
5. There are 10mm bolts holding the lower and upper timing belt covers in place.
6. You will remove the passenger side motor mount. Make sure to support the engine properly (not by the oil pan!)
7. Before removing the belt, you will re-install the crank bolt and turn the engine clockwise to get the engine into Top Dead Center. You can check for alignment using the little arrows on the crankshaft pulley and camshaft arrow on the block. If the engine isn't in alignment, rotate 180 degrees.
8. We recommend not reusing an old tensioner.
9. We didn't replace the water pump since ours looked new, but if you do replace yours, it is held in by 10mm bolts and you will need a small pry bar to get it out. Make sure to replace the o-ring.
10. During installation of the new belt, make sure the belt is tight! Some use a paint marker to show where the belt matches up to the crankshaft and camshaft pulleys.
11. Reinstall the timing belt covers before reinstalling the motor mount.

I bought a $1200 Mazda Miata donor car for our Subaru body swap. It came with an RX-8 Rotary. Oops
Переглядів 73328 днів тому
I was bet that I couldn't find a $1000 Miata donor car for our project. I found one on Facebook Marketplace that was $1200. Close enough. The catch? It had a "running" 2008 Mazda RX-8 swap already in it. The goal? Do a body swap with my 1990 Subaru Justy that I drove in high school. What could possibly go wrong? In our first episode of the series: 1️⃣ Move the Justy: After years sitting on Jaim...
