Hi Guy...

Welcome to the forums, we thank you for joining up..
While your in there changeing that timeing belt dont forget to also change the balance shaft belt at the same time.

You will need a floor jack and a box of good tools and also a large screwdriver or large punch and a breaker bar and socket. Dont forget how you took them off cause you got to put them back on the same way...

Good Luck & Bust A Knuckle For Us All....just kiddin of course [sm=americanasmiley.gif]

dude, aloha, was in maui a few months back, wow is all i can say, great driving roads on the north side!!!
buy yourself a manual before you do it, unless your a pretty skilled mechanic the job is pretty involved and you have to watch your timing marks..

get the haynes repair manual, gives you step by step info

good luck

 

just rebuilt 90 accord ,replace water pump,crankseal,camseal while your there-3/4 drive impact to get crank bolt off-not a bad job. need someone with small hands- good luck

 

yo WHEELBROKER ,,,v6 does not have a balancer belt to replace ,, i would however advice to replace the Hydraulic tensioner ............i would strongly as well advice to get a factory helms manual if u plan on doing the job urself..,,,,,,If u are not mechanically inclined take it to a shop..
