Please post a picture. A thin layer of golden goo on the inside of the cover is more or less normal and won't hurt anything. The Accord engine is not a 'sludger' and is generally rather easy on the oil.

What oil do you use, and how often do you change it?

 

Not sure if i am there yet?!

 

I can't see the marks on the camshaft sprocket in your picture.

Here is a writeup I found a while ago when preparing for my timing belt.



There will be 2 little notches 180 degrees apart on the back of the cam sprocket (cam side), (highlighted white) these notches are to be level and even, on either side with the top of the black inner plastic timing cover (highlighted red)

 

thank you i will give that a try.
however i think i am foing something wrong, i can't for the love of god seem to take the lower cover out!( i removed all bolt out thu, you got give me something for that )


Here is what i did so far (day one and day two)
removed driver side wheel
car is on jack stands both sides
removed valv cover
P/s pumt and belt
top timing belt cover
distrobuter cap
loosen pasenger side bolts
took off two driver side bolts
lowered the engine

still need to remove:
Remove the crank shaft pully
remover alternator
and start the actual gob

keep in mind i only work few hrs on this project(total hrs 8 hrs so far)



Thank you every one that is trying to help me

 

Well guys, am stuck with no luck
can get the crankshaft pulley bolt out ( tried impact wrench, breaker bar, pb bast , wd40 ) but that f**ker wont move, oh btw i also tried eric's hoes trick.

am just out of ideas , and don't know what to do.

impact wrench broke my 19mm so i had to by another one.

 

Ok so i got it out, just using the breaker bar... but now i am facing another issue.
camshaft (front and back ), distributor in #1 are all TDC , except when i took the lower T-belt cover , noting is aligned ?!!!!
check it out please:
1992 Honda Accord TDC but not TDC - YouTube

Please help

 

come on guys were are the response.

that is funny , am left alone in the dark. i feel like that joke on how to fly a plane, and when it came to landing the plane the last page in the book was to be continued next edition of this book

 

(Dude, your video makes me want to puke.)

Well, that looks fun!

Is there a pulley cotter pin in place?
At what position is the crank's pin slot?

What I'd do....
Replace the alternator belt pulley if needed (so the balancer belt doesn't jump off).
Drop a wood dowel or similar down the cylinder #1 spark plug hole.
Slowly turn the engine by hand. Make sure the dowel remains free to move. Watch the dowel rise and fall and verify that you are indeed reaching TDC.

It's possible that the flywheel's TDC marking is wrong. The FW is attached with 8 bolts. (Anyone, is is hard keyed? ) Maybe someone put in on wrong?

 

Thank you all for you help and support. like i said i have the camshaft sprocket is on TDC, the crankshaft sprocket is aligned with the timing mark on the engine block , the Oil pump drive sprocket is of timing (exactly like the one on Eric's video) so i can adjust that like how Eric did! the ONLY one that is not on TDC is the balance shaft and the engine block! that is driving me crazy .

 

Is the rear bal shaft lined up, lock pin in?

Best I can tell, the cam and crank are lined up, sounds like the balance shaft is not....Sorry, coming in late and I'm a bit confused and trying to get up to speed on where you are at.
