Some advice for everyone trying to attempt this on your first time. Take your spark plugs out of your head. The reason why is when you go to rotate the engine over with the old belt on to get everything aligned with top dead center, it is much easier to do so when you are not fighting the pistons compressing in the cylinders. If you do not, when you try rotating the engine with the 19mm crank bolt you will hear the engine hissing as the compressed air escapes out of the valves. There is nothing wrong with it, that is how an engine sounds when turning half an RPM lol. But with the spark plugs out, the pistons and crank are free to rotate with minimal resistance. The only thing that will offer resistance other than the ever so slight drag from the actual friction of everything is the valves in the head compressing. Taking the spark plugs out just makes everything much easier to align. Obviously afterwards you need to put the spark plugs back in once the new timing belt/water pump are installed.
Just a few side notes to anyone doing this for the first time. If you Don't have a good impact pick up the crank pully tool and an extra breaker bar, if the space is too small remove the bolt from the rear motor mount and have the engine on a jack it gives you a really good amount of free play, I prefer to remove the driver side mount bracket as it helps with getting some bolts, one you have everything out clean the side of the block its not worth the risk of some shredded rubber getting into either your water pump pulley or idlers making them seize, and finally before you re torque the crank bolt turn the motor over a few times and make sure it stays in time. As always the prelude love on this channel is just amazing. It sucks to have it down for so long but some great content came out of it, thanks Trey see you in the next one!
I have both the physical and digital factory service manuals for this which works fine but it's good to see the process first-hand. Thanks. This was done on an H32A VTEC (Blue Top) for whoever is curious. The process is exactly the same and most parts are interchangeable with obd1 and obd2 H22 motors except the thermostat cover and thermostat itself due to the bigger diameter that the JDM H series motors have.
This video came just in time! There’s first cold night and temperature is -6 celcius outside here at Oulu, Finland and my timing belt is 6yrs/90tkm driven 247/365 between -25 and +35 😄💣🇫🇮 Thanks for all the quality stuff and positive energy! 🤟 keep it coming
Before watching: I wonder if he will say to turn the exhaust cam 1 tooth advanced/forward/counter clockwise that way when you slip the belt over the exhaust cam gear and the intake it will rotate the E. Cam backwards 1 tooth and into alignment. It was quite frustrating before I figured this out!
Man I just found out that I snapped the timing belt on my 92 Prelude today. And I was really bummed, but it’s awesome that you made this video on the same gen Prelude as mine and it’s very helpful. Much love bro! 🤘
Kyle Lloyd indeed I bent valves, in cylinders 2 and 3 to be exact, but most likely yes, the h-series engines are interference engines, so basically your pistons and valves are very close together. So just get a new head and timing kit and you should be good to go, sorry to hear about that though man!
ElysiumVocalCovers ahh damn lol. Thanks for the reply. I was hoping I might get lucky and not have to replace the head. I snapped a timing belt on a b20 before and I just put a new belt on and everything was good.
Kyle Lloyd yeah I’ve had the same thing happen with my b16 lol those engines are stout and non interference if I remember right. But yeah h series engines are pretty fickle imo
Bought a 97 w possibly a bad motor for 300 buks. Im doing the timing just to be safe because i found a shredded balancer belt and the timing belt walked a little. Waiting on new belts and the manual tensioner. Video helped a lot with finding the correct timing marks. Wish me luck that it starts. Nice lude btw
Trey Be Dipping well it worked!! Belt came in the mail finally!! Took me forever and a day to get the timing right. Its way harder than it looks. But i have a running prelude!! Total investment 400$ so far. Thanks for all your help and ill be watching your vids as i start the restoration!!
On this manual tensioner I see there’s the tensioner bolt but also there’s one we’re it slides too also it’s a 10 mm long bolt connect to to the water pump tho I need to install it also on your video it’s hard to see if you hade it but I don’t see it
Great video, thanks for this. I have a random question, what are those markings on the Cam Caps at 12:58? What do they represent? I have an '99 F20b, took the valve cover off and have the same markings on ALL the caps, only mine are 45 / 107. I also have a JDM '93 H22a and it doesn't have these markings.
How did you get the timing belt on with all the tension that is already there? Is there a way to loosen the tension to get that belt on while try to keep the pulleys top dead center?
Rebuilding my a4 out of the car currently just got a new crank and bearings all the timing belt jazz but was wondering about those “Honda guidelines” they always have some tension tricks to keep an engine in time, had the somewhat the same concept on my y8 awhile back. thanks for the info! Subbed!

When the pistons in the center are at the highest point it can be in the block. Its a term used for reference when timing the motor with new belt instals
Good day. I have a H22a1 1992 Honda prelude. I have replaced my timing belt and everything works properly except for my belt getting shredded against the two tensioner wheels. I'm not sure if I put the crank timing pulley correctly or could it be something else. There is a big washer which I put behind the timing crank pulley;not sure if it should go in the front of the pulley. And how far back should I push the crank timing pulley. Reason I am asking this is due to no Honda macs in the area and I have to fix it myself. And people are clueless in my city.
That one is easy bro. You take the power steering belt and pully belt off. Then you need a really strong impact gun and just zip it off i could do that entire job in like 15min
yo i need big help, so basically i have an h22 in my del sol. I got everything to TDC while the belt was on (so everythings in the same rotation)but when i took off the cam gears they moved forward slightly now its not TDC. To get it back TDC I know 1 rotation of the cams is equal to 2 rotations of the crank but what is the calculation for the "balancer gears" for them to be in time with the crank?
I took my belt off last night to replace and didn't set It to TDC. None of the gears have moved. Can I Install the new belt and rotate the engine to TDC and make sure everything lines up properly?
@@treybedipping1734 Thanks for the reply. But I'm kinda confused lol. Do I put the new belt on and slowly rotate the engine until the crank marks line up and then check to see where the cam gears are?
@@mrkeithleeman1998 the 2 cam gears as well as the crank all have marks indicating when the motor and cams are at top dead center. Once they are tdc then you put the belt back on.
Bro i have a question in my case i like race so in your opinion is good cut the balance shaft belt for more strength or is not safe cut it? What could b pros and cons?
Bro i installed manual tensioner on my h22 but I have a lot of slack between the cam gears. Did I miss something? I made sure everything aligned with the marks.
Once its timed correctly you turn the pully bolt 3 teeth counter clockwise to create tension. Then then you adjust the tensioner to remove thr remaining slack
@@treybedipping1734 so as long they are set in marks it wouldn’t mater if they were move just move them to the marks and that’s all..also with this manual tensioner how can I get the correct tension on the belt with out the noise on it I used my car for driving not racing will it still be better to go with the manual one
Trey Be Dipping okay so.. intake side doesn’t turn hella smooth lik exhaust side. Like you start turning it and it kinda just clicks in place about 1/4 full rotation,, You can’t make small rotations. Counter clockwise
Abs is tricky to do a full delete you may need to redo some lines but most importantly you need a non abs valve from either a prelude, civic, or integra because once you take out the abs unit you'll have 6 lines that need to be regulated.

The balance shaft belt? You create tension by hand pushing upward on the circle tensioner or you can use a flat head screw driver as a pry bar as well.

Hey trey if my cam timing is off a tooth or 2, would I have to go through this whole process to get it back in time? I have a long screw driver in piston 1 and got it to tdc can I just slide the belt off and readjust the cam timing like that or not a good idea?
@@treybedipping1734 well good to know there is no easy way. But your video definitely helps make it easier to do. I really appreciate the reply thank you fam!✌🏽🤙🏽
I sell them. They are nothing special. Years doesn't mean anything, miles is the determining factor. I had a stock timing belt for 6 years before the tensioner went out and i swapped out my motor. I have a gates on there now as a matter of fact on my h23a. I get them at wholesale cost and thats the only reason i chose it over oem. The belts are not "better", neither will "snap" unless never changed.

@@treybedipping1734 h22 water pump too ? I'm about to swap from an h23a Bluetop to the F20B soon so I wanna make sure I have the correct parts to do the belt and water pump before the motor goes in since prelude have such a tight engine bay.
Bro where can I get a service manual like the one you got??
Man i got it as a gift from my pops when i was younger and but i would try amazon.
Service manuals can be found online 🆓
How do you tight the belt crank shift belt
The balance shaft belt? You create tension by hand pushing upward on the circle tensioner or you can use a flat head screw driver as a pry bar as well.
Nice video man. Very informative 👍
any special equipment needed for this?
I guess that depends on your definition of special but nothing out of the ordinary
Trey, can you work on my prelude? Seriously tho lol
Yes sir just let me know
@@treybedipping1734
I got a 93 prelude so back in like 2013, I swapped the h23 with an h22a1, it's been like 6 years and I still can't drive it lol the bb2 is my dream car so I've kept it around all this time. I love your channel, it would be awesome to get up with you, but I'm way down south, Houston, tx

Well done 👍
What tool do I use to turn the Timing belt so it’s top dead centre?
For the bottom put the 19mm bolt back in so you can turn the crank. The cam bolt is a 14mm
i have a 99 prelude h22a4 with a shattered oil pump i have the motor mount out and the crank pulley off and the oil pan. do i have to remove the water pump and other gears (6:30) to get to the oil pump? i took a pic of what mine looks like rn imgur.com/a/8B6YGCa
Crankshaft balance belt
Man you didn’t even show how tp put the belt on
Hey trey if my cam timing is off a tooth or 2, would I have to go through this whole process to get it back in time? I have a long screw driver in piston 1 and got it to tdc can I just slide the belt off and readjust the cam timing like that or not a good idea?
If it skipped a tooth it could be possible is stripped the belt you may want to look replacing it. But yea there is no easy way to do it honestly
@@treybedipping1734 well good to know there is no easy way. But your video definitely helps make it easier to do. I really appreciate the reply thank you fam!✌🏽🤙🏽
@@badlilboy232 no problem bro ✊🏾
Did you reuse your tension Springs?
I replaced the hydrolic tensioner with a manual ks tuned style but reused the one spring with the hook
Why dont you use gates timing belts performance?
They aren't much better than oem if at all. I used one before and have one on my car as well.
They're better than oem last me 5 years and going
I sell them. They are nothing special. Years doesn't mean anything, miles is the determining factor. I had a stock timing belt for 6 years before the tensioner went out and i swapped out my motor. I have a gates on there now as a matter of fact on my h23a. I get them at wholesale cost and thats the only reason i chose it over oem. The belts are not "better", neither will "snap" unless never changed.
