Definitely great information in this video, right now I'm in the process of replacing my timing belt on 2013 pilot touring and my belt between the two cams is a teeth short while all the marks are aligned to bad we didn't get to see how you got your belt to fit correctly I'm a bit stuck with my right now..
very good video, quick question do i have to put the transmission gear on N or D ? before i start replacing the timing belt or it doesn't matter ?, thanks
Used this video to do the same job on a 2019 pilot. Very similar. One tip i read somewhere else was to mark the pulleys/belt with a paint marker and count the teeth once removed and transfer the marks to new belt. Then you can double check the timing marks and the paint marks for accuracy. It helped me to quickly trouble shoot all my paint markings matching but my rear camshaft being slightly off. Realised while fitting the belt it turned slightly. I simply pulled the belt by hand where the tensioner is and it pulled the cam right back to where it should have been. Otherwise i would have been chasing my tail and potentially been off by 1 tooth.
Just a heads up. You better have a catch can the size of you engine bay because it sprays past the opening and spills out over every inch of the plastic cover.
Concise to the point, all viewing angles are visible and clear. Thankyou for taking time in preparing this educational video. I do not need to do the (Honda Odyssey) timing belt but really enjoy watch your video. Thank you very much! My curiosity, why did the cam dots did not align when the timing was reinstalled? We have checked that before the belt was taken off.
Thank you so much for this video. I have been searching the internet for a few hours and your video is the best I found. I have 2004 Honda Pilot Ex with 270k. It has been a family car for 16 years and I love it so much. The problem I have now is that it cranks but it does not start. I was driving it yesterday when this happened, and I think the problem maybe the timing belt. I say so because it happened to me before about 2 years ago, and I don't understand why I keep having this timing belt issue. Since I work from home, I really don't need a car that much and I want to keep it for about a year or so and then buy a good car. So I wonder it is worth fixing it. I was lucky last time because It didn't damage the engine. But I am not sure if engine is okay this time.
If it was me I would go with Honda parts. Guy on Piloteers forum put a gates kit in the tensioner failed after 22k miles the valves got bent cost him $4500 in major engine damage repair. Honda dealer said they seen several of these aftermarket kits fail usually the tensioner. The gates belt is good, but the issue is Honda tensioner is a critical part due to the engine being an interference designed engine meaning if the cams get out of time valves can hit the pistons not worth saving a few bucks just go with Honda OEM parts.
@ 16:38 That was hardest part of this repair. Also, prepare for that antifreeze shower, once that drain cap was removed coolant blasted everywhere. Other than that? Solid video Thanks for the help!

VERY NICE. Made the job much easier. Turning the crank back 1/2 tooth was a great idea. just that tip was worth the whole video.
Great video! I appreciate you taking the time to record and post this.

Honda repair manual says to tighten the idler pulley after the belt is in place, confused as to why you tightened before the belt was in place

Sir, what type of oil is for the hydraulic pump? Thanks.

Very thorough video. If I did that job, I would end up with a whole bunch of extra bolts not knowing where they go. 😂

Sure would've been nice to see the timing marks on the camshaft pulleys

34 min: ...apply a little grease to the threads on your harmonic balancer bolt... maybe not a good idea if you want that bolt to stay in?
Thinking about taking this job but Honda with those drive belt tensioners have a horrific habit of breaking the nut head off that releases the tension
Perfect video detailed without all the extra talking
Great video! Gives all details while performing repairs. Helped tremendously.
Nice 👍 job people don’t appreciate a good job done
2013 doesnt need the shim behind the idler correct?
Thanks for your video
Great job
Thanks so much for sharing this
Need to go with the Aisin kits
Awesome video!!!
So what if I can’t get the belt off
Perfect 👍
