B16A2 Timing Belt Change Under 5 Mins

- Опубліковано 12 жов 2024
- This is a short film I made while changing the timing belt of my B16A2. The engine is in a Honda CRX Si chassis, with no power steering or A/C.
This process would be similar for other DOHC Honda B Series Engines,
such as; B18A, B18B, B18C, B16A, B16B etc.
Stay tuned for more of this Honda CRX Si and other classic car projects!
I do not own rights to the brands shown in the film, however they are my belongings and can be used as I please. This is not intended as an instructional or a guide video for the process, and should only be used for reference or inspiration.
There is a sound. And it's beautiful. It screams let's go. Only a B16a revs like that.
It is an addictive sound!
She's currently wearing a JDM ITR 4-1 Header, which augments the sound as well.
The exhaust is a Buddy Club Spec 2 system, basically a straight pipe with a silencer on the end.
In my other video showing the whole build up to date, I take her through a tunnel and make beautiful music haha
Thank you!! I have a B16a1 CRX and needed a video like this.
You're welcome.
Beautiful sound! Hope you still got her!
Thanks, she doesn't get driven as often as in the past, still have her though. Will have to do a video of the build on this CRX and more some day
Beautiful CRX.
Thank you! Been a labor of love...
Why remove the engine mount? Clearance for the tensioner? I'm 1 tooth outa time & don't want to move it even to tow to a mech
The Engine Mount is removed to get the Timing Belt off of the Engine.
If you are only moving the belt Timing-Wise, you may not need to remove the Engine Mount.
Definitely make sure the Timing is correct before starting the Engine, don't want to Bend the Valves!
Nice work and a sweet engine note....
Thanks! There is a little more of this car driving around in the other CRX video posted
did you find different lengths on the water pump bolts? 2 long and 3 shorts
Correct, they were different lengths. If you have to source bolts, there are aftermarket options available online or through your local Tuner Shops. The junkyard can also be a good place to find OEM parts that are still in nice shape.
When turning the engine counterclockwise by hand I noticed a ticking noise by the clutch is this normal?
Maple, is your engine in the car or has it been removed from the car?
Also, if the transmission is still attached, is it in-gear? Make sure the transmission is in Neutral
Was it necessary to drain the radiator fluid?
It was for me, since I was replacing the Water Pump at the same time.
Belt is better and cheaper
than chain 100 times
Skips everything that happen before accessing the belt this not showing what's actually difficult
Showed everything that was available to show.
There was no power steering or A/C, and the timing belt covers were already off.
Those are not difficult things to remove if you remove the L/H side engine mount as shown
