if the old belt is still intact and not jumped time you can create your own timing marks with a marker or something on the timing gears and corresponding marks on the old belt. once it's off count the teeth between the marks and transfer the marks to new belt. so easy and quick, and you really can't mess up the timing.
i always spin the motor over with a ratchet after i set the timing belt and reset the timing marks over again before i put them all back together just for good measure like your videos keep making them we'll keep watching
I only do that if I am being a bit paranoid or milkin a job because I am bored.
you got a little action going on there in your pic 😏
Hey guys. I have the same engine. My belt broke on mines while sitting at a light. Tension pulley is the cause. The only thing is when it broke. You know by nature you try to crank it back up which makers the cam shaft spin if I'm correct. How can I get them all back in line. The top two are pointing in the 1 o'clock position and the bottom is well maybe at 5. Besides I've been trying to start it. By replacing other crap other than the real issue lol. I replaced the pump in Dec of 2016 and now the belt breaks. So I'm stumped on what to do. Thanks if you guys could give your insight.
@@UniversalCode9 did you ever get this fixed? These engines are interference engines and so it's possible you have some damage in your heads or pistons.
@@mikegilmore8998 man I got rid of it 2017 in December. I wasn't ready to take the risk. I miss that car. Acura the tl
Im thinking the reason this video has only 10k views is because of UA-cam's subscriptions page design (at least on the mobile devices). i didnt see this video pop up until today... and i scroll thru my entire list every night and morning. When I watch a video, I set it to "watched" so its hidden on my phone. I had nothing else to view last night or this morning. I checked again tonight, and here was this video.
So youtube must be purposely putting hiding certain videos on peoples subscription feeds until a later date (maybe to favor other youtubers that bring in more viewers/advertisements?)
I think ETCG would be proud!
That's allot of arrows but they sure do help!
Probably the best video explanation I've ever seen. I'm not even doing a belt swap but still watched the whole thing.
excellent video, i m a toyota master tech and was doing the belt on my accord v6 so i watched a few videos showing how to do it. Your video was the best, it was to the point without a bunch of stupid shit and time wasting content. Excellent content excellent editing too! A++
the only car channel which the right names of the parts
Years later you are a life saver.. Straight forward and now I'm confident I have all the equipment needed.. Ill let you know how it goes! Water pump, timing belt, grenade tensioner , idler pulleys x2 and office depot clips & harmonic 50mm puller tool. ✔
So how did it go ??
Did you tackle it? Does it drive. Please tell
Just had mine done at the local Honda stealership for $800. They were running a special which included new timing belt, tensioner, water pump, coolant and drive belt. Kinda makes me wonder how they made money on the job... maybe they didnt replace anything? haha.
The timing (pun intended) of this video was poor in my circumstances. But that was out of your control. I just did this job 2 weeks ago on my wife's car with 220,000 miles (second time I've done it on this car, we have had it awhile). Unfortunately I screwed up the timing, the car wouldn't start so I enlisted the help of a mechanic buddy with more experience. I pulled it apart again and found the rear cam was off about 90deg. I'm not sure how that happened, after getting the new timing belt on I checked all my marks or at least thought I did and thought it was all good. I wished I would have marked them all with white paint, that would have helped. I think what I did was while trying to put tension on the belt between the rear and front cam pulleys I turned the rear cam, noticed it turned and turned it back, but it must have moved again and I didn't realize it. So after correcting the timing on all the pulleys the second time around, I had my buddy check and it all looked good. Fortunately turning the motor over with it out of timing didn't bend any valves that I know of and it runs great now.
Did my 94 ford probe gt a couple years ago. This brought back some memories. Everything worked out but it easily took me 8 hours not having done the TB, water pump, and pulleys before. Learned A LOT about that engine though. Well worth the time.
Kudos. You always teaching us with your great videos. I'm looking forward to change my timing belt, rebuilt the transmission, and change the rear main seal in my Accord 99 V6 3.0.
I just wanted to show you and other people here this video in spanish about how to synchronize not the only the camshaft and the crankshaft, but also the other two gears (front and rear where the belt gets around too. Very valuable info. The rear gear has two marks (on the gear and the shaft). And on the front gear you need to get that bolt out to insert a long screwdriver all the way in. That gear has one mark but he says it won't matter if it doesn't have the mark if the screwdriver goes all the way in, I guess just to be safe get that mark and all the screwdriver in. On minute 6:45 he also explains to do not rotate the camshaft without the timing belt, and that if you do, then you should rotate the crankshaft mark on a horizontal plane(way). And depending in what unsynchronized position the crankshaft gear mark, then you move the mark to the closest horizontal plane (90 degrees). And then move your camshaft to put in the right up/mark position so you won't damage the valves. ua-cam.com/video/b_F-YLZk2tI/v-deo.html
If you do Honda timing belts often enough, I HIGHLY recommend getting a Lisle 77080 19mm harmonic balancer socket. These are about three pounds of impact socket with a 1/2" drive. Use with a decent air impact (not even a heavy duty one) and it will take the bolt out of the harmonic balancer EVERY time ... no muss, no fuss. I was amazed at how well it worked. You can find them on Amazon for ~$23 on Prime. Absolutely a no brainer if you do these on a regular basis. Every Honda engine I've worked on, whether 4-cyl or 6-cyl has the 19mm balancer bolt which you can use this on. www.amazon.com/Lisle-77080-Harmonic-Balancer-Socket/dp/B00RGNCV1U/
5.4 hours it took me a week
Well done. It's nice to see a video from someone that is knowledgeable AND articulate. Lots of great little tips in there like using the wife's Macy's credit card to hold the belt on the crank. I didn't read the comments but you turn the engine over twice to verify timing alignment, right?
Well dang it. I waited two years hoping you'd do this video so without this most excellent information I had to relent and pay somebody to do it. Turns out the rear main seal was leaking anyway. More than I wanted to tackle. Excellent work as always my friend.
to whom it may concern..I did a very similar job on a KIA sportage..all went well except....on the top of the upper timing belt cover 7:28 there is a little plastic seal ..make DAMM sure this thing is tucked in because mine apparently got caught up between the cam sprocket and the belt and jumped the time about 60 degrees while I was tooling down the highway celebrating my successful timing belt/water pump job. Luckily, it didnt junk the engine..but it did wreck my trip to the botanical garden and forced me to redo the job. Just a heads up!!
Never showed how to remove the crankshaft pulley bolt....lol
I'd like to hire your blind apprentice to weld me up a special tool like yours! great thumbnail as well!
Thanks for posting this vid. Top 10 DIY car repair vid on UA-cam.
5.4 hours - so it'll take me 12 xD
Your first one will. The next one is much easier.
@@sparkplug1018 frutería suena
My first (and only) took me like 7.5 hours. That’s including 15 mins for lunch and like 20 extra minutes fighting with the serpentine belt tensioner.
Hardest part was getting the crank pulley bolt loose, they are no joke.
Most technical part was getting the new timing belt on “just so.”
Found the crank bolt comes out easy with an impact. The rear cam pulley is tricky to center and want to rotate forward or back instead of rest lined up with marks. Do not remove crank pulley Key or if you do realign timing ring, sprocket to crank. Mark old belt teeth before removing tensioner the make same marks on new belt to make sure rear pulley does not skip, crank and front pulley will stay put when using tips in this video.
I've used the starter method on several cars to get that bolt off. Works like a charm.
some call it "starter bump method" and it does work great!
I really appreciate you posting this. Been watching Timing Belt videos (doing my '07 Odyssey this weekend.) Lot's of good stuff here!
Hey, B-Man- nice to hear you again. Hey- what's up here? Why is everything so gunked oily & filthy? Front seal? I so wish Honda would go to chains- I don't trust belts as far as I can throw em. Imagine- an aftermarket company making sprockets, chains, & tensioners to refit belt engines? That'd be awesome.
chains Need oil, belts are not that bad
Power steering leak and mostly a water pump leak. Belts help acceleration, fuel economy, and keeping the engine quiet. All the good stuff. The less mass you have to move the better. It's physics. It's like the unsprung weight formula for a better riding vehicle.
I used a 4X Torque Multiplier and have never had any problems removing crank bolts. It is a lot safer, since the torque is gradually applied to the bolt, and I never have a problem where the bolt release and your knuckles smashes into something. Other than the cost I'm surprised that people don't use it more often.
You get a like for your thumb nail alone lol.
Phenomenal Video....well said and choreographed!!!!!
Holy smokes! Thank you!
Man why couldn't you have posted this like 2 weeks ago lol. I was stuck at my friend's house for 3 days trying to finish my timing belt on my 4Runner. I'm smacking myself for not thinking of that clip trick
Awesome! Very good quality and explanation with good camera control, arrows, light, etc makes this one of the better videos I've seen. Thank you!
I've said this before but your videos are really well organized. The arrows and annotations are a welcomed addition.
They have a weighted socket to remove tight crank pulley bolts.. always works👍
You give great extra tips on how to make the job easier. Thanks
I love these Timing belts. I could do one in my sleep. Just finished my 04 TL sport
I could do one in my dreams .
Never done one .
I love timing chains. Never have to go thru this unnecessary crap. Thanks alot Honda
@@RothBeyondTheGrave unless the tensioner goes bad for the timing chain, then you will have to almost do the same thing.
@@civicpride1986 very true. Hopefully if that were the case, you'd hear the chain smacking around some so you'd have warning. And at least it's not inevitable maintenance. A belt on an interference engine is kind of a dick move but again, Honda's reliability I trust. Had an '03 tl at 217k mi on the og belt.
@@RothBeyondTheGrave I just finished doing my timing belt on my 04 acura TL car had 275k miles and probably this will be the last timing belt job I will do on this car.. unless it makes it to 375k, we will see.. I agree this honda v6 engines are almost bulletproof..
Another Awesome Video.. Thanks Brian..
Brian Thank you for the step by step video....It helped me save big bucks.....Thank you again
He suggests the 3.0 is an interference motor, but everything I've read says it is not.... awesome video though
Very nice and well done video. I thought the tip for starting with timing marks very slightly counterclockwise was very useful as the slack can be taken out at the final check. Heating the crank bolt washer a very good tip also. Thank You
I love Honda tBelts! I used to use a torch for the balancer bolt but, now I use a tool I made. I took a short 19mm and slid it into a deep socket that is about the same size as the washer and welded them together. That way the washer and the bolt both get hammered, by the impact. It is amazing and has never failed me. It's a 1/2 socket of course.
Just purchase Lisle 77080 19 mm Harmonic Balancer Socket for Honda on Amazon for $25. Takes that bolt off in seconds. Watch UA-cam videos with that socket in action.
@@troyfall6573 I agree. Pretty much most people recommend an impact rated at >500lb/ft torque for the crank bolt. That plus the special socket should get them off. I haven't done mine yet but I have a 1400 lb/ft electric impact that takes axle nuts and rusted exhaust bolts off like they weren't even there so I'm not too worried.
I like doing these belts even more than doing subaru's. On a bad day, they take about an hour.
That's pretty fast! I take my time. Hopefully do the water pump, plugs, and valve adjust while in there.
@@briansmobile1 At my dealership, spark plugs and valve adjust are separate services. Which makes no sense, but no matter how many times I bring it up, it falls on deaf ears.
But yes, water pump and tensioner every time.
That socket you have, do you know if that fits on a subaru crank shaft? I searched for a commercially available one, but nothing for Honda's. I had the belt jump time on me ONCE when taking the crank bolt back out, but I still think about it every time.
I can relate to what it takes & how long, just sometimes I wonder what were these guys thinking when making parts & engines the way they do. I also like that you explained and got to the point of where what why and how. Info on this is always helpful in reference to other jobs as well. Thanks and keep up the great work
great video,thanks for posting! great extra tips and reminders that a lot of pros leave out.
The paper clip is a good trick....bin there done that ...very good vid....SALUTE
Always have a supply of those in the box, they are just so damn handy to have. Beats the heck out of fighting with a belt trying to get it routed.
Watched your videos for a long time now Brian. You've always have had a noticeable positive outlook on life in general. I appreciate that man. Sometimes it's all I need to keep my head up too when the daily grind is gettin too me. Keep on rollin and thanks for the videos
You're awesome Brian always look forward to your vids bro
Geez. If my fingers are gonna look like that afterward I'll just pay somebody.
Hahaha, the number of times I've wedged a prybar against the ground and cranked the engine to get the crank pulley bolt off... LOL
Dont do it on pre 2000 hondas you will shear the bolt , as the pre 2000 hondas are anti-clockwise rotating engines
Can you replace the timing tension WITHOUT set the timing mark on 2006 Acura MDX
I know it's a big job,but I just got a quote from some mechanic 3-4000!!!! I hung up cause it was more of an INSULT,he wasn't kidding either "oh that's the year with the chain"...no sir,rubber belt..STILL continued his silliness I hung up..700$ TOPS is my usual quote,I just rather good tools and knowhow go into this,instead of my crawl to the finish
haha that thumbnail, thumbs up for that alone
Insane attention to detail man thanks for the very informative video
My water pump just went out in my Accord V6... And of course it has to be an '03.....
Should I bother watching this video? Or drive the car off a cliff? 🤔
I hv an 05 I need this soon 250k thx
I love how you use the clips to hold the belt to the pulleys. They work great for potato chip bags and inside cereal boxes.
ok so i have a 2016 accord v6. Need the timing belt done. What all do you recomend replacing when doing the job? Any of the pully's? Is the hydrallic tensioner part of the tensioner pully itself?
So why does he line the timing mark slightly off counter-clockwise? Did he explain the reason? EDIT: OK, he explained 7 mins later. But still not sure benefit of doing that if you're going to crank 720 degrees to confirm timing after belt installation. so he isn't doing the 720 degree rotation to check, he just cranks clockwise a little to remove slack in belt after installation.
Hey man, cool video. Love the price of the home made socket. haha
*@**8:56* In gas welding it's called a "Neutral Cone".
Thanks for the smarts! Mr. Douse probably taught me that, but- I can't even say half the words I do know and remember.
the harmonic balancer fastener would of stop me, broken so many sockets, ran through torches, could of finished 3 jobs compared fighting with one
Just purchase Lisle 77080 19 mm Harmonic Balancer Socket for Honda on Amazon for $25 and that bolt comes of in seconds. Watch UA-cam videos on that super socket.
Thanks for your vedio. Very helpful! God bless you
Paper towel Trick Ehhh ?!!!

You're welcome and THANK YOU!
Nice editing. Thumbs up for that.

Better tet call car fixer dude “ can ya fix my belt yo?”
Love my Acura RL but why the heck did they have to use Belts instead of a chain! WHY!!!
Does the engine have to be supported somewhere since one of the motor mounts has to come off? I'll be Doing this job on jack stands, on the ground.
Best video Ive ever watch about timing in general. Keep them coming 👍
After the timing belt change. No engine error, no code. All ok. Except, there is a small faint knoking sound from the engine and the engine seems to be running stronger than before. Meaning, a stronger noise too. Would that be something with the timing belt change?
I had the tensioner failure I replace it and it still has the clacking sound what do you think happen or I did wrong I bought the hydro tensioner from autozone could it have been faulty
Y'all think that's hard try an EJ20 quad cam 😣
Yep, or any quad cam engine for that matter. Always an adventure.
Filip laskovski
pffft, my gf's old 98 Forrester had the quad cam. two vice grips later it was cake.
Alot more room to work in the front of a Subaru.
what about the 2.7 95 accord I can't find nothing for the timing belt
There is also no need to replace the screw type tensioner. As long as you have a bracket all you have to do is take the 8mm off of the bottom and use a #1 flat head screwdriver to bring it back in. As long as the seal is good it won't ever go bad. I've never seen one fail.
This one leaked. Bad seal- it's over.
So my main question is. Should all indentations match up at the same time when at TDC?
This is the same as 2001 Acura TL?
Where are those torque numbers?
My car is at the near 250K mark. This is probably a job I'll be doing soon. Just has to replace my steering fluid line this last winter because the hose was rotted.
Brian I've had an odyssey 2001 and its served me well aside from trans rebuild and cooky electrical problems and oh, yes the Machiavellian engineering making self repairs seem like a seen from 'A Beautiful Mind'. I'm currently looking for another used vehicle and to be honest the odyssey has been a bittersweet experience. I'm looking at the Tundra, or a newer odyssey.
I'm open. Can you recommend a vehicle
Wish you were closer.
Thank you!
watch out for those ebay timing belts and water pumps, rubber breaks but thats another story
So you wouldn't recommend the OEM kits on eBay?
hi Sir Brian, This engine is interference , Am I right? coz I have a 97 Acura RL 3.5 v6,, planning to change the timing belt too. thanks for your tips.. Awesome video...
my left cam timing mark moves a tiny bit while installing the belt is it normal?
Hey Brian, I have a 2002 Accord 3.0 and need to do the timing belt on it, so thank you for such a timely video. I have been doing research, and a couple of places indicate that the 3.0L Honda engine and I think the 3.6L are the only two Non Interference engines in the Honda line up. Can you confirm or deny this? If it is not an interference engine, should I wait to do the belt until it breaks, or just bite the bullet and spend the weekend getting the job done?
what dont u know? :):):). I have Ram2500 so ive watched your clips about Ram 2500. Now, Accord too? Luv your clips.
Thanks- I work on just about anything mobile.
briansmobile1 and my commute vehicle is 05 Accord v6 which will need timing belt soon. Thanks for making great clips.
And if the power steering makes noise right after the timing belt change you have to replace the O-Ring on the P/S pump inlet.
Nailed it!
@@briansmobile1 also these pumps whine if the belt isn't tensioned to spec
Replaced the timing belt on 97 Acura 3.0CL 6 cylinder, automatic. Drove it and found this: From a dead start the car hesitates/power loss when going into 2nd gear but will gain speed. In neutral it sputters at 3,000 RPM and will not going higher in RPM. I'm thinking it is one tooth off forward on the front camshaft sprocket. I also noticed that the idle is about 600-650 instead of the 800-850 where it should be. Does anyone have any ideas?
That thumbnail haunts my sub feed
My wife wanted a stab at it. I think she nailed what Google's looking for. Crushed it really.
briansmobile1 with a 1000 degree knife? under a press?
Aint Honda 03 Ex 3.0L non interference?
I got 2002 Acura TL 3.2 i change time belt 7 years at 67,500 mile . Now i have 8 years on Time belt 124, 600 on it . only put on it in all most 8 years 58,000. You think i can wait little more on it.
I have to say that now I've seen this and how much work is involved, I'm surprised on the price my sister got from a Honda dealership for a 05 Honda with a v-6! I think 627 dollars is not all that bad, what do you think? Oh, and that's parts included!
That's very decent. It's usually north of $700 with all the parts listed. If it's just the belt and no pump or timing kit, that would be about right.
briansmobile1
Thanks for the reply Brian, I was a little worried at first that she would get taken advantage of ( wouldn't be the first time, sad to say) but after seeing what all it takes to do this job.........
i wish it paid 5.8hrs honda v6s pay 3.5-4.5 at firestone lol
2000 MY pays longer. That's for the water pump too. They newer fly-by-wire ones are a lot easier. Less parts, more room.
with more and more cars going to TIMING CHAINS that require no maintenance for the life of the car, it is a wonder why they even bothered using BELTS in the first place.
It’s a great tech video with good info but why not clean all the power steering fluid and oil that was leaking in there before putting a new belt??
Hi Brian, Is there a brand of brake pads you feel are quality? I have a Honda Ridgeline
You can't go wrong with factory pads. That's always a safe bet. However Honda's aren't that picky either.
briansmobile1 Thanks Brian.
Second that on the factory pads. I got 120k miles out of the original pads on my 2006 Ford F350. Went back to the dealer and said give me whatever you put on the truck in the factory. (Not sure they are exactly what they installed in the factory, but close enough)
please do not use o Riley's brake best if you decide to anything with brake drums... I think they are called brake best, usually ends up being brake worst.
factory or non proprietary auto part store brand name. wagner/performance friction/ ebc.
question - so you mean to inform us that between 0:30 & 3:45, as long as the markings on he pulleys are aligned with the markings on the motor itself, we will be ok?
I ask bc Hayne's Manual makes it seem like it is the end of world if one does not align the #1 piston/valve/what have you with "Top Dead Center"...
Thank You Brian. I have a question. I have 2004 Honda Pilot and have an error code 0341 which is the CMP sensor.My mechanic says that I have to remove the timing belt in order to remove the CMP sensor, however, other mechanics say that it is not necessary to remove the timing belt could You please tell me what to do? I am confused also
@
briansmobile1 11:19 I would really want to know the NAPA parts tray SKU number, I can't find through NAPA. Thanks.
I have 2003 Accord V6, won’t start. I know I will need timing belt kit, but how can I know if the valves are damaged? Any input will be helpful.
For all the years you have worked as an auto tech,did the camshafts ever jump on you,after you removed the timing belt ? Should it jumped,how did you get it to position,turn either way or just clock wise ?
At 200,100 km my 06 Accord is due for a belt. My independent shop wants $1,200 + to do the belt and water pump. With recent piston slap on #5 I think the car is done. Excellent video, you cut right to the point. If it wasn't for the piston I would do the job myself 👍
Youre very knowledgeable; great video too ! ++ How many hours does a belt n pump take on a 1999 3.2L ? What do you charge for labor ( private email if you like)
I heard these are non interference engines. How much do you think this procedure will cost? I live in the usa
Got mine done with the kit for 600$
How do you know/read about firing order for the vehicles?
I often noticed it's better way to change idler pulleys and tensioner and water pump when replacing timing belts. It leads us to go more thousand miles conveniently, other way Idler Pulleys or Water Pump may deteriorate before timing belt.
