And here I was thinking no-one had a sense of humour here. Bravo guys and of course I don't really use that crap dexron.
here's where I was going with my comment. If you have a manual transmission you know that when shifting gears the speed of the camshaft will change. This was the basis of what I was trying to say. If I'm going such and such speed, downshift and punch it my timing belt better be fit correctly or else it's going to jump a tooth or two. Correct?

The vehicle is a 2003 Honda Accord LX, it has a V6 engine.
Did you say you ordered from Rock Auto parts?
I think I found the part you were speaking of. I have posted the link below. Please tell me if this is the part you are speaking of in your post. That it comes with great instructions too.

You can start & run it without the upper timing cover, but just close the valve cover. If you don't install the alternator belt, you'll have to watch for draining the battery - otherwise you don't need the external belts installed.
(That's for F-series engines, but not for 2003+ K-series engines where the external belt drives the waterpump)

I'm curious about Jim Blakes comment that he can twist his timing belt about 90 degrees and that's good. I just replaced mine on my 91 Accord and I'm not sure I can do that. If the timing belt was to tight it would shred itself quickly. If it was too loose it could jump teeth if you jammed the accelerator down and torqued the engine. All in all I'd have to say good job to Slade.
