I have been looking around for Honda info and there seems to be LOTS of stuff on 80 and early 90s Hondas. I have a 2001 accord 4 banger with the vetch and want to get a shop manual for it.

Its time to do a timing belt… I found this site with good info and pics
http://timingbelt.soben.com/
but that says 1994 to 98s

anyone have a link to some info for a 01?

 

98-01 are all the same.

 

Does your Accord have 4-cyl or V-6 engine? It makes a tremendous difference.

That link is for an Integra. Don't use it.
Accord = F-series engine=single camshaft & 2 balance shafts.
Integra = B-series engine = 2 camshafts & NO balance shafts.

I think there's something in our DIY section, but maybe you can search for it...

If you find something for Accord F-series engine for early 1990s, it should be the same.

 

its a 4 banger. i added that to the orginal post, sorry forgot to put it there!

i dont know what this means? how do i find out?

I am new to hondas and imports really. i have jap bikes and a subaru wrx, but those are not like these hondas

 

The Integra has a different engine architecture. That'sthe B-series engine.

Your Accord would have an F-series. F23A1 for example is 2.3 liters. The timing belt procedure would be almost the same for any F-series engine. IOW just about any 4-cylinder Accord from early '90s up thru 2002.

 

Thanks jim.

also you said Accord = F-series engine=single camshaft & 2 balance shafts

my engine is a 2.3 (i believe) and its a DOHC i thought? or am i wrong?

 

Your profile says Texas...

Honda may have used some strange engines around the world, but the USA 2001 4-cylinder is an F-23. Unless some previous owner did some creative swapping.

 

Yes I am in Texas but I am an import from Cali where this car was from. We moved from Cali to Texas about 2 years ago and it’s the best thing I have ever done! I am guessing you are talking about the 2.3 motor right?

Ill look when I get home to verify. (i actually drove the truck today, MAN I LOVE DIESEL!!)

Any good cheap place to get a service manual from? I want to see if I can do the timing belt my self or pay the shops 400 to 800 for it... I am pretty good at turning my own wrenches. I do most of my own work but no internals yet. I don’t know if you call a timing belt internal, but it’s getting close! Anything that is bolt on I have done. Alternators, brakes, radiators, power steering pumps, water pumps, injectors on a 5.0 ford (like a mustang motor) and I am close to doing a turbo pull/swap on my f350 as soon as my arm gets better) o and I put a body lift on my old chevy 1/2 ton. I cant see a timing belt being too bad with my tinkering abilities, but its new to me and its my daily driver (close to 30 MPG !!)and I don’t want to jack it up or blow a valve through the piston if I do it wrong…

 

o yea the honda is ALL stock, not even an aftermarket air filter. Its my chicks car and her parrents bought it new in 01

she wont let me mod the honda

 

The tough thing about the timing belt will be loosening the center bolt in the crankshaft pulley. That part would be the same as the Integra or just about any Honda.

Maybe the lack of space between the engine & fender can be trouble. Got small hands??

Got a big compressor & a mega-torque impact gun?? Or, there's a pulley-holder tool that fits into a big (55mm?) hex recess in the pulley. That's the thing to have (or borrow it?)

Everyone says Haynes & Chilton manuals are no good. Best repair book comes from www.helminc.com but it's $$$.
