Timing Belt to Gear Conversion???
 

I am a former gearhead of AMC and International engines. Both of those have timing gears and not belts...your maintenance intervals are infintely longer with gears. I know on some other vehicles, there are conversion kits available. Has anyone ever heard of a conversion kit for my 2001 Accord EX V6?

Once again...timing belt to gear (driven) conversion.

Any help and info would be appreciated.

Thanks,

I've never heard of it, but it would be great if they had one. The 2003-2007 4cyl models had timing chains instead of belts, but the v6 still has a belt. I am unaware of the 2008 models as to whether they use belts or chains.

Aren't gears for pushrod engines? I've never seen an overhead cam engine with a timing gear.

If you've seen an 03-07 Accord you've seen an OHC with timing gears...

Not possible unless you got someone to make you a custom cam, crank gear, chain, then figure out how all the sensors that read off the crank would get their input.
