Your video, part 1 and 2, guided me easily and accurately through my timing belt replacement. Some things can easily be overlooked during this service procedure but you Eric, made darn sure to point out every detail. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing.
I find it oddly satisfying when watching a great mechanic work on cars. 👍👍
I was thinking the same, I'm up watching a timing belt job on a car I used to own 15 years ago. Haha
exaactly
So true. I often think, when people bring their vehicles into a "mechanic", are they as knowledgeable and thorough as Eric for example? I hesitate to think so. Better mechanics on KZhead than in garages. Just my opinion.
Yeah, for sure, so much knowledge. I just got a civic and I never wrenched with my Dad when I was young but I’m doing it all with my son learning together.
I now feel comfortable doing this myself. Best instructional video on KZhead forsure
I love how close together these 2 parts were!
Recently used this video series to change the water pump and timing belt on my 98 Civic. Took you advice on getting "best of the best of the best" parts...OEM Honda. Step by step was dead on. Thanks a bunch for making this video. Saved me hundreds.
Great job, so glad you’ve gone back to these videos 👍🏁😀
Also, fun fact, that A/C tensioner pulley cross-references with most Subarus from about 1994-2009, so if you're at the salvage yard and you need one, the A/C pulley is MUCH easier to get to on a Subaru than on a Honda. All you have to do is take the pulley and bracket off, and punch out the stud that the bearing rides on, and boom, you're all set!
that is very cool, but id just get a new one lol
Is there a part number for the bearing?
Great content. Also as a Honda powersports tech of 17 years I share your love of Honda bond.
I think ETCG has the best overall videos on youtube for car repair. He keeps it simple, is easy to understand and has great visuals. If it's ever voted on to see who's the best he will have my vote.
im a young tech and i consider you my mentor in many more ways than one. Great video as always, you're awesome Eric.
Found your channel when looking for Maximum Motorsports parts install videos. Came back to it for Honda D series maintenance videos. You do it all!
Eric. This. This right here. Do this stuff again. Its enjoyable to watch.
Great vid. I don't own a Honda but I always like learning.
Thank god for your vids. You basically helped me replace my engine and everything on it. Watching your honda vids is like watching an encyclopedia.
Im not gonna lie, by time i got that lower timing cover on, my neighbors could have wrote a sailors journal with all the new words they heard
😂😂😂
I hear you takes up the most of the time on the job and is the most annoying
First time changing a timing belt and I used this video to change the timing belt, drives belts and water pump on a 1994 civic dx. It started up and is running better than before. Awesome!
What are the other drive belts exactly? Preparing to service my 97 EK.
@@pitapelesikoti depends on your model. There is an a/c belt, and alternator belt for my dx. May need another belt for power steering
I love seeing Eric work on Honda's thank for videos
Watching this now before I tackle mine in about a week to study a bit. This is probably the most explanation and easy-to-understand detail I've seen in a how-to wrenchin vid, absolutely awesome. I even ordered a camshaft seal since you mentioned it and I have a leak right about there lol. Thanks man!
I have Honda Civic Eg and i learned how to replace every parts on my car with your chanel. Thank you so much.
Another job well done. Thank you Eric!
Nice Video Eric, that timing belt replacement(with drive belts and Water pump) looks as if a DIYer could do the work on a nice Saturday morning(8am-1pm) in their garage/driveway. Would save the right person some bread. Thank you for the info
Really good video, great and straight forward, informative with no BS..great job..
when the experts teach..it will be my reference in future.Thanks bro for sharing this video.God blessed us.
It is very obvious that Eric knows his Honda repairs. You can tell he is fixing this with years of experience.
Thank you very much for making this. It helped me a ton!
thanks for the effort of making these videos Eric
I know the video has been out for a while but, thank you very much for the great informative video i fixed my civic!
Very good info thanks! Best part was the hole for the tensioner pulley to access it I learned alot!
The inner fender cleanup nice idea !! Interesting belt video !
Pretty good explained. Thanks Erick
Just got done doing the timing belt, water pump and drive belts on my '98 civic. Followed this from begining to end. Absolutely perfect. Thank you!!! My civic has 250k miles on it and never had a timing belt change. The factory belt looked almost new.
Oddly enough mine with near 280K had timing belt look almost new as well. Pulley, water pump were crap but that belt could be reused lol
How long did the job take you?
This is what I call perfect explanation, thanks budy
Damn Eric, you have a goooood camera, peep your old vids from years ago and now! Thanks for all that you do!
2 videos and the total time was just over 1 hr 15 minutes...eric the genius..love his vids..superb as usual...in the same time i drank 8 cans of Carlsberg...cheers mate..love ya
Thanks man! just finished a timing belt replacement on my 1.5 vtec-e civic
Eric, you're awesome. Love your videos. Every time I have a problem with my 95 civic, I go straight to your website. Why you ask? Cause when you do your video's you make it feel like I'm standing right beside you handing you wrench or something. Plus you don't rush yourself and you like to give your little tricks to the trade and I enjoy that very much. When a mechanic walks you threw it like you do well it puts confidence in me to take on the task. For that I'm am very grateful for you doing that. Hope you and your family is doing well. Terry
This guide is helping immensely. Although I've had to source parts from different year d-series. It's a JDM D15B 3 stage vtec, out of a civic Ferio. obd2 engine swapped into a 1991 Crx si. Putting her all back together today. (Pray to the honda Gods there's no bent valves)
Fantastic video, Eric.
this video would be very helpful for anyone doing this job.
Thank you for the video man. I just finished the timing belt and water pump service on my 2000 HX. Only broke two bolts 😂.
Thanks Chris. Just spend maaany hours with you trying to get this all correct. I did do it correctly, thanks to your help and my determination. Cheers man happy new year.
Thank you so much! I did step by step with part 1 and part 2. After i was all done I had my fingers crossed and started my Honda. You saved me hundreds of dollars.👍🏼
I have a 1999 civic dx. Do you know how much the Honda dealer charges for this service? Thanks, Bryan.
❤ I just did mine too last Friday and posted it on my channel. I watched both videos and my wife car started no problem but the water pump impeller was broken off😮 it's all in my videos on my channel 😊
Great Tutorial as always!! Thanks Eric !!!
Thank you for these 2 parts of video.
Keep the videos and the hard work coming Eric.
you gave me every thing I really needed to do it properly and it saved my job and thank you Eric !!!!!seriously keep it up cuz something else gon break sooner than later lol
Your a good mechanic Eric.and your also funny .love your videos .I love watching you take it apart .and I'm amazed that remember where everything goes . thumbs up .God bless you .
Always great informational videos, thank you.
Love your vids Eric.Very helpful thank you for your efforts..
Parts 1 & 2, check! Probably have one in store in my future, as I've a head gasket to do, and have no idea when last anyone touched the timing belt or water pump. Probably never in the last persons time of ownership. Thanks Eric.
Hey Eric, thanks for the help. Bought a dirt cheap civic that had jumped time and got it going again. Jumped time due to old belt material clogging up the grooves in the crank pully.
Thanks for the video good job
Great video. Thank you so much Eric. I hope you will do more Toyota's videos in near future.
you do a good job Eric
Good job Eric. And thanks for the video
Very informative and detailed video. Thanks
I’m really digging these timing belt replacement videos. I have a Honda Pilot that I need to do soon.👍 thank you for no more mini Cooper videos 😂😬
Did you have to do the power steering O ring fix?
Ninja Master No, how did you know you needed it?
@@checkitout2468 Noise when turning, especially while not moving. Low power steering fluid. Dirty power steering fluid. Signs of leaking around the pump and below it. Change the 2 O rings and flush the fluid before trying a pump. Most people will try and sell a pump and youll still have a leak and dirty fluid.
Very thorough. I've done this at least 3 times on my 92-95 DX Civics. Dipstick between #2 & #3 exhaust - no headaches when doing front cover work. Also, no P/S - hurray! Disconnected A/C, so no A/C belt - hurray again! I've got overdrive alternator pulleys, though, so don't you dare cut my belts (they're custom length). If I can pass along a tip that's quite universal, before taking off the old timing belt, get a bright-colored nail polish and put dots at key points on the crank gear and cam gear (suggest you use different colors for the gears vs. belt). Then take off the old belt, put it next to the new one and copy the dot locations. This way you absolutely cannot screw it up, even you accidentally move the crank or cam while doing other work. I think it was always 47 dots for a D15B7, but the basic technique can be used for any belt-driven engine.
Such a good video and awesome mechanic!!
thanks - very helpful for my Honda HRV GH1 - time for it's second Cam belt !
Thanks Eric have fun at SEMA
Thank You, my 7-year-old and I just did the timing belt on my 2000 Milano Red Civic Coupe. I couldn't get the transmission mount off, someone previously rounded out the bolt, so I'll be using an extractor.
Great video as always! I have got to get me one of those electric ratchets!
Thanks for the video Eric
Thank you so much for putting these videos. These helped out so much I completed the same repair today on a 99' coupe. that my son actually broke the belt on. Again thank you very much.
I know this was 2 yrs ago. But if you remember, and dont mind my asking, did any valves get nailed?? Did you have to redo the head? Im asking becuz my wife left work today in our 97 and she said it just shut off at the stop sign. I know theres a slim chance in a very small window where you maybe get away with no damage depending on where the crank and cam landed at shut down, but she also, not knowing or realizing, tried to crank it back over. (CRINGE!) Anyway, I guess we'll find out. Going to rescue in a bit. She got a ride home earlier and left it in a parking lot. Just curious, since you said his the belt actually broke, if there was valve damage. I dont have a lot of experience becuz Ive never had it happen with an interference engine, but Im guessing the chance of damage over none is probably like 95 to 5.
@@ytTaz480 I do remember yes. I was very very fortunate I did not have any inertial damage to the engine. Best of luck to you and the repair.
@@Thebustedknuckelmodelworks Thnx. Got to it last night. Belt fine. Thnk goodness! Ig ition issue. No spark. Now just gotta get back to it today and diagnose Hondas ridiculous, over engineered ignition system(too much crap packed into that distributer). Fortunately, Im an electrical troubleshooter.
@@ytTaz480 Good to hear that it wasn't the belt or any of the mechanicals. As far as troubleshooting goes check to see if your engine is equipped with a crankshaft position sensor or something of that type. those little buggers have seriously tripped me up in the past. Good luck.
Finally, someone who set tension properly.
EXCELLENT! Very professional.
Thank you Eric for making this video! You are unbelievably helpful!!! You ARE awesome! Lol
Eric, thanks for the efforts on these two videos. I'm using them to do my 99 civic d16y8 headgasket/everything change and I've ran into a bit of an issue. I put everything in time and took the distributor off as a complete unit and set it aside. After fighting with my crankshaft pulley bolt, I managed to knock everything out of time. What are the best ways to get it back in time? Can I just put the crankshaft back to compression TDC and then rotate the cam back to compression TDC and then throw the belt on? The distributor should still be good to just put back on at that point right? Thanks again for the videos.
Outstanding video thank you
Thanks for this!
I love those long video's... Sit down relax something to snack and enjoy and learn something! :D
Love the information and very helpful. Is this essentially the same for the H22 prelude motor as I will need to do this on my 1997 for the first time?
Had to watch this a few times to make sure I had the cam and crank in time with each other. Pretty confident with it being in time now that I have double checked things, probably going to try and manually turn it over to be double sure nothing is making contact in the cylinders, just not sure of tolerances for timing as I'm still learning
As always great job
*ERRRRRIIIIIIIIICCCCCCCCCCCCCC !!!, YOUR DOING IT RIGHT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!*
Thank you Eric, did my first timing belt and water pump job thanks to you!
I had a weird roll in steering, had to feather out the clutch, and would get tire hop esp on cold tires. Those torque mounts are about the same condition mine were. I found a deal on hasports, 60a, and the difference they made in handling was amazing.
Hey Eric thanks for the videos they are very helpful, quick question the timing belt does not have any marks on it that you can line up with the cam and crank pulleys to make sure that you are still on time? I did a timing belt on a Toyota Tundra once and it did have the marks on the belt and they are very helpful. Thanks
YOUR THE MAN ERIC
I love this series, great work and info. One question: why no oil pump reseal while you're there? Looks like it's been leaking a touch.
Thanks man good work.👍
Thanks Eric.
Thank u for the vid. Two thumbs way up ☝
So Eric, we all dig your videos. Having said that, I, We, would love to see you do a series about your Chevy pick-up.
Glad to hear it. You're going to be very happy in the not too distant future.
@@ericthecarguy Sweeeeeeeeet!
Hey Eric cool video. Ive got the timing belt off my 1996 Honda Civic Lx. But i was wondering if the 1996 editions had a Crank sensor.... I looked and it seems like the alternator is connected to some component, but theres no plug for a crank sensor.... Other than that i just need to get an AC unit, because after watching this video i realise that the Crank Wheel can support AC which my car didnt originally have... Thanx and thank yous
Eric. Very nice video !
Love the vids. Don't have a Honda but like to see how it all works. PS love the smoking car behind you in the closing remarks!
35:38 ERIC! BEHIND YOU! LOOK! SMOKE!! Lol. Thanks for making this video. It does help out very much on the four cylinder chalupa I was given if I got rid of my Chevy V8 454 7.2l. I hate the civic I have, BUT, it runs. Since I started a new job, it was needed. 🚘👍
excellent work
Love all your videos !! What happens if the valve cover gasket is broken and I installed the cover without the gasket ..?
nice approach to that. Think I learned a lot from this one. Question though- do you ever use never seize on any of those bolts or pulleys? Just curious about that
FYI, water pump bolt torque: 8.7ft lbs (104.4 inch-pounds) for D16Y5,D16Y7 and D16Y8 engines. Crank bolt: 134 ft lbs Source: 1996 honda Civic factory service manual
Good video man well explaineted
Waite patiently for part 2 hooray
That jb weld on the strut mount.. kindred spirit. I remade my rear fender lips using door screen and jb weld
Damn freaking bad ass very informative thanks Eric
Sei troppo bravo e professionale
Thxs Eric good stuff...
