Honda Civic Timing Belt Replacement, Quick Look (1998) – EricTheCarGuy

1. EricTheCarGuy so to tighten the belt you turn the crank pulley counter clock wise till the cam shaft move 3 teeth and hold it with your hand and then tighten the tensioner hand tight right just wana make sure thats it. My first time attempting these

2. This guy is a total nob didn't even tension the belt properly… Load of bs

3. Lisle 77080 Harmonic balancer socket FTW. Takes that damn thing off no problemo. Bring your impact wrench and presto….. No kidding. Check it out.

4. I was barely accelerating from a full stop at an intersection and my timing belt gave out and snapped so do you think that I was going slowly enough (about 30-35mph) that my valves were not damaged

5. Can I loosen and tighten my timing belt without removing the bottom

6. Man doesn’t torque anything? Lmfaoooo

7. That is one clean block 😍

9. Hi Eric
   Hopefully I get a reply 🙏
   Have a 98 civic Dx
   the crank is opposite timing of the crank. Car was running fine. Didn't misfire or idle rough.
   How can I get the cam/timing UP Mark to match the crank (lower)
   Currently it's opposite sides.
   Top mark UP is down (6:00)
   And the lower one in TDC

10. I wanna buy a car from you. Lol

11. Do I have to install a new spring for the tensioner?

12. At 7:27, while holding the camgear and rotating the crankshaft, will both be aligned afterwards when tension is set?

13. Eric the car guy. I have a d16y8. Also I hone the cylinder and I put new piston and rings and now their stiff and hard to rotate….is that normal or do I need to put more oil on the cylinder walls

14. Informative video. thank u 😎

15. Did mine today outside the car may 24 2019

16. Erick u look super lit my dude 😁

17. what kind of engine is it?

18. Never seen the tensioner bolt get tightened 🤔

19. My 2001 Honda Civic doesn't have the tap behind the tensioner how do I know where to set the tensioner so it works probably

20. To anyone saying that its bad to use the impact to remove all the bolts. If youve ever worked on a honda, You HAVE to use a small impact! Youll snap every fender bolt off with a ratchet but using the little impact takes them all off nicely!

21. what you charge for engine swap on civic

22. Hey Eric, if you don't have a timing cover to see the notches, how do you set the timing?

23. Is there a crankshaft seal on this engine too? Just wondering since my car seems to be leaking oil on that side of the engine.

24. You forgot to tighten the tensioner 🤔😥 or maybe it was off camera 🤔

25. But what if you can't remove the whole engine?

26. Thanks for all the great videos you make.

27. How do i time it

28. When ypu say slack side. How much slack should it have? My belt has a good bit of slack

29. how do you get crankshaft pulley bolt loose without air tools ?

30. did u tighten the t belt tensioner

31. Great Vid man, I will be doing this on sunday.

32. Careful – the method described for tensioning the timing belt is confusing (to me at least) – if you try to get the tension side 'banjo tight' as he describes your tensioner can slip leaving way too much slack on the back side. I slipped (one or more) tooth due to this, and so I'm re-doing it again after going back to the chitons method.

33. What all is needed for the kit. Belt. Tensioner. Water pump. That’s it?

34. If the crankshaft and camshaft timing marks are aligned (with the marks which they should be aligned with), that means necessarilly that it is in the TDC point?

35. I don't always cross thread the bolt, but when I do I run that bitch in with a 1/2" Impact !!!!!!

36. Eric can make a video on rebuilding a clatch and installation

37. God I hate that crank pulley bolt! So hard to get off by hand…

38. How do you change the alternator belt when you have the ac & power steering belt in the way …

39. Where do you get the special tool to remove the pully?
