  • Well the description says it all. We have this Honda Civic 1.7 that got towed in with a "crank no start." It was an easy mystery to solve though...

I just bought a jdm engine for $550, a gasket kit for about $100, and a timing belt/water pump kit for $70. After all said and done, I had a running car for around $1300. Still have it 4 years/80k miles later!

    Takes me back a few years ago. They pack everything in such a tight space. Glad to see you didn’t have the antilock brake D block behind the washer fill. My 2002 with 238k miles had something get into the main pulley, tore the time cover to pieces and gasket slipped the timing belt off. Bent 4 valves, and I was reliving my adventure of doing that very job watching your video. Of course I’m old school so no fancy gadgets just the standard knowledge of sounds and mechanical sense. Great videos!

    Great diagnostics. That Civic is definitely an interference engine. Looks like those pistons kissed the valves for sure. A lot of the Civics, Accords, Preludes are interference engines. Its a bad day when a Honda timing belt breaks. Best option for your customer is a different completely rebuilt head $240-$300 , $250 head gasket set with bolts, belt, tensioner, water pump etc. Thats if he can salvaged the pistons, in some cases you can unless they have a hole. But he has to do it his self DIY. My daughter just did a head gasket on this same engine 1.7L the video will be out soon. Great work South Main you handle your content like a real boss, God Bless.

      hxtr timing chains also stretch and skip teeth. Most people think timing chains are the be all end all, they aren’t. They are better than Belts but with newer cars they have sides and guides. It’s not like the old 350 motors with a chain and gears only. Still have some of the same belt problems.

  • @Zib187

    The coffee cup on top of the engine at the beginning of the video reminded me of how my mom's uncle used to set the timing on older cars. With the motor running he'd put his cup of Joe on top of the motor then turn the distributor until the ripples in the coffee were gone.

    Excellent vid, shows why you should follow the manufacturer's scheduled service intervals (not the dealers). With proper maintenance that's easily a 225-300k mile cars. I assumed Honda 4 cylinders were all chain driven, I was wrong. I would have had you fix it, still cheaper than a replacement at that time and you would have done the job right.

Was doubling clutching as I was downshifting from 4th to second and just as I was coming out of the curve hit the redline and that was all she wrote. Had my dad help me tow her back home and before the night was over, I had a new belt on her and was ready for some more fun with the Hondo. Love that car, great on gas and because she was a rust bucket I could park her anywhere and not worry about door dings.

The damage to the engine was minor despite me being on the gas at the time (had it floored going about 70 on the highway, trying to get around a truck). In my case, it was a pulley that broke. My dad and I did the job, and it went surprisingly well. Kicked up and ran for a while. The bottom end of the motor went about 20,000 miles later due to oil pressure issues that developed with that motor. Sold it for a grand and got the Taurus a few months later.

    Arrr shucks. Would have been EPIC to see another multi part video series on doing the head on a Honda engine. The RAV4 and EJ253 vids were epic.
    If it was a manual transmission it might have been worth getting an engine from a scrap yard, but chances are the transmission doesn't have much life left in it at 165k and probably not a whole load of maintenance. I prefer Toyota's. But my sister has whats sold in the US as a Honda fit. Its literally had nothing go wrong with it in 9 years/70,000 miles besides some judder in the CVT that a fluid change fixed. Its a strange engine, 1.4 petrol, SOHC and its chain driven. Its actually as efficient as a diesel if you drive it properly. Gotta love Asian vehicles.

    Thank you very much for taking your precious time to show us how a broken timing belt looks like. A lot of us doesnt know how some of the problems look like and believe our mechanics. This can prevent a lot of "ripoffs".

    Honda recommends 90,000 for a timing belt change, which is when my neighbor had his done at the dealer, but they screwed up the job and didn't even use a Honda timing belt, the tensioner spring had come off and was wedged between the crank pulley and the crank sensor, thank goodness the engine wasn't damaged, I replaced everything with genuine Honda parts and it ran great, they used a dayco belt that wasn't even the right width.

    I had a 2003 with the 2.4 4 cylinder. That engine was interference fit and at about 240,000km she let go and bent the no.2 intake valve. No head or piston damage so a whack of new parts and off she goes !
    Regardless of OEM recommendations I've always been confident of belts and chains until about 200,000km ( 120,00 miles ? )
    IMO at 200 ( 120 ) change it just do it regardless of what the book says.

    Appreciate this video acquired a 02 civic ex that some one did a head gasket job on my buddy and I are trying to hook everything else back up Ive managed to get power going and thanks to your video found the crank sensor plug. Verified that timing belt is good but motor cranks but no spark seems to have power going to the coils but not a one of them has spark. Any thoughts? Checked for an easier means of contact in your video description but comment it is! Thanks in advanced and thanks for your time.

    I had a timing belt fail on my Porsche 944S and it bent most of the valves. The repair was very costly, but worth it for a nice vintage sports car. I hope the owner lets you repair it. I look forward to that video (series!). Thanks for the video!

    • @Jacksonkellyfreak
      @Jacksonkellyfreak 8 років тому

      +Joris Goedbloed Anything from VAG is gonna hit the valves. Water is wet, the sky is blue, VW/Audi/Porsche have interference engines. It sucks too because the chain driven engines like to eat those guide rails. Once that happens it's a ticking time bomb.

    • @louisjansen3520
      @louisjansen3520 8 років тому

      +Jacksonkellyfreak You are right, interference engine, but the Honda was said to be the same and the result of the timing belt breakage was much the same as well. Only difference, my car was worth the effort and money repairing it.

      Dude go buy a lottery ticket because the VR is most certainly interference. I'm not saying it can't miss the valves, maybe you had them in a position that they were just slightly open, but that is a very rare case. But I can tell you ALL VR6 engines are interference.

    You can get by with irregular oil changes on a cam in-block motors OHV, and belt driven OHC. Chain driven OHC not so much. Yes you have to change a belt (before it breaks!), buts it cheaper long term, even with diligent oil changes than replacing chains and adjusters IMO, more likely to stay on the road and quieter.

    I changed my original timing belt on my 2002 Honda civic at 110,000 miles in the year 2016... And don't ever cheap out on the timing belt. I once did a Chev Aveo with a cheap no name timing belt. It lasted about 30,000 miles before it broke and half the valves smashed into the pistons.

But how am I gonna check things after I try things unless I turn it over to see if it starts. So kudos that was nice and made me feel better about feeling stupid as dumb as that is to say haha
