Please help, I can’t afford to take to a shop =(
Also, the timing belt or serpentine belt has never been replaced. My vehicle is at 210k km…
Thanks so much for video. My timing belt area of my 05 accord v6 is very loud and rattling. Is it the tensioner? Where can I start to replace or tighten? Would this video help me if I buy necessary parts for a DIY? Thanks sir
round of applause. for not only doing a full tutorial. But doing lots of it one handed,holding a cam.
Hello Bundy!
First of all great job on the DIY video I just watched both parts! Not sure if this was ever discussed, but I remember you mentioned about the original belt on the truck you were working on being a Gates belt and it was possibly replaced before. Well I was ordering some timing belt parts for my 07 MDX and found this in the item description:
BELT, TIMING (197YU20 VE-501) (UNITTA)
Part Number: 14400-RCA-A01
Upon doing a search for “UNITTA” I found it stood for “GATES UNITTA”
Are you asking if moving the power steering pump will make the timing belt loose? The power steering pump does not affect the timing belt. If the cams are NOT in alignment, yes you have to get the 2 cams and the crank into alignment before starting the engine, or serious damage could be done.
What if I’d already moved the power steering pump a bit, and made the belt loose. Do I need to reinstall it completely before I can position the cams correctly? Thank you so much for this video. Someone was helping me with this work but kinda left me high and dry.
That’s what I’m here for.
Awesome video! Watched part 1 and 2, and this for sure helped me through my first time doing this. He even called me and helped me out. Thank you.
Yeah no problem, if you run into problems email me at bundysgarage@gmail.com. That’s what I’m here for, to help the people of the planet out.
Nice post, I have a 2001 honda accord j30 v6. I’ll try to attempt this very soon. Is It possible for me to email if i run into any problems? Thanks again for this great vid. – EG
Does it really matter when your not reusing the old belt? Why have to count and mark the new belt?
The vehicle was bought used with 120,000 miles on it. The previous owner could not remember if the timing belt had been done at the 100K mark. So when this job was done the vehicle had 130,000 miles on it.
how many miles did you have on this honda when you changed the timing belt? thanks
Juan, let me know when you want to schedule the service. I’m in Riverside, California
@ BundyGarage Great Video I have an 07 accord sedan V6 with almost 100k miles its almost time for the timing belt replacement how much would you charge for this job? I’ll take the parts. Also where are you located? I live in the desert in southern Cali..
@pilyo333, yes I will try and make a video that covers the timing belt on the D16. I need to find a car to work on, any one in the Southern California area that I can film their car, I will do the labor and you buy the parts.
@aaronac8, to tell you the truth I do not remember how many valleys there were between the RC and Crank, just triple check it and it should be good as long as you marked both cams and the crank properly. If that fails you can always independently set the 2 cams and the crank and then put the timing belt back on. If you run into problems let me know and I might be able yo help you out.
@Bundy. I meant to say can you do a video. Lol. I lived in Canada, impossible for me to drive there. Thanks
How many valleys did you have between RC and crank?
I will be doing a video on it soon but they are magnets held in place by a large hose clamp. My dad taught me this trick. What is does, if any metal shavings are in the engine from wear, as the oil circulates through the oil filter the magnets will catch it and hold it in place until the next oil change. One of my vehicles has 300,000 miles and I have done this from day one with it. I believe it works, and it costs less than $10 dollars to make.
@pilyo333 Yes I can do the timing belt on your Civic. Please email me at bundysgarage@gmail.com if you would like to schedule a time to get it done.
What is that attached on the oil filter?
Can you do a timing belt on a civic D16 engine. Thanks in advance
