Timing Belt Tips
I have a 1997 Accord V6 LX Automatic and am about to replace the timing belt and water pump myself with this Gates kit that I bought.
Are there any tips out there for this specific job dealing with the v6? I know there is ton of info on the 4 banger, but with the v6, information is limited, and even then, there's always, always something thats "tricky". Any "Heads up" would be appreciated. |
Get a shop manual for your vehicle. Check automanualsource.com for an inexpensive download.
Check youtube videos. Here a couple of good ones, but there are quite a few: good luck |
Thankies thankies.. Found out I have a c27a motor -- pretty close to same.. Still haven't changed it yet lol

Just me and I've said this more than once. Before removing the old belt make some marks on the old one.
In your case - a mark on the belt from the belt to each cam gear. A mark on the crank gear to where the belt mates to the gear. Note the marks on the belt (cam 1, cam 2 and crank). Once you pull the old belt transfer the marks from the old belt to the new one - count the number of teeth and note whcih mark it is (cam 1, cam 2 and crank). When you install the new belt, be sure the marks on the belt match/mate to the marks on the gears. |
I dont have a 50mm crank pulley tool?
Ideas? |
O'Reilly (Checker/Kragen) auto parts stores in my area loan them out for free. They're called "Honda crankshaft pulley tool" or some such.

Yeah, none of my local ones has that to loan.. I've thought about making one, but I've heard 2" and 1 1/2" bushings to make it.. anyone made one?

Score! I went to school with the manager at my local autozone, and I stopped by there today and asked him if he could request a holder for my honda, and he is going to get me one
