Glad it helped you out, if you need help or have questions let me know at bundysgarage@gmail.com
Thanks, i love the details.. soon i will be doing mines on my 2007 type s
If anyone was wondering I had an 04 Acura TL with 95,000 miles on. Timing belt and power steering belt looked good, replaced both anyways, obviously.
Thank you for making these videos and even giving me a call to give extra help. One thing I’d note is the rear cam is pretty sensitive, so if your rear cam ever goes off timing and you have to readjust it, be careful, the valve spring in the cam makes the cam spin out when it is turned out of its “sweet spot”, I actually cut my thumb pretty bad trying to readjust it. Also, when putting the timing belt on, start from the crank, then the front cam then rear as the last.
I think the seals on the V6 J Series engines hold up better. If they had been leaking I would of replaced them but decided against it in this case. I have heard that if it’s not leaking then don’t mess with it. On the Honda 4 Cylinders I have seen the crankshaft seal leak pretty badly and needing replacement. So if it’s leaking replace it otherwise I would just leave it alone.
Excellent video. Truly step by step and made with in depth specific Honda knowledge. Thank for the time and effort. One question tho, why did you not change the cam and crank oil seals? I frequently see them leaking badly on the 4cyl engines. Do they just hold up better on the V6?
Might as well replace the water pump also.
@Average Joe. In 2006 – 2007 Honda switched from Aisin Water Pumps over to Yamada Water Pumps. For whatever reason, typically a cost savings move, Yamada was charging less for their water pumps than Aisin was. I bet both pumps work fine. But if I wanted to stick to Honda / Acura OEM I would get my hands on an Aisin Water Pump. I have personally seen Aisin pumps reach well over 210,000 miles. Not too much experience with Yamada, I’m sure their good too. I would stick with Koyo bearings and Aisin.
Awesome video. FYI factory yamada water pumps have the oring already glued on if you buy it from Honda.
Glad it helped you out Spence, if you would like to see a specific video please let me know. Doing your own work saves you money and let’s you know the job was done right.
Excellent videos Mr Bundy, I can replicate the same job thanks to you. Keep em coming.
Glad it helped you out rpigw!
Great work and video.. One of the best ones !!! I have 2004 Honda Odyssey and I’ll be doing the TB job soon.. I just have to remember to have both camshafts’ TDC set on 1 with marking and the crankshaft aligned with “little” arrows.. Thanks again !
With the spark plugs in place it means there is still compression in the cylinders, so on compression stroke it makes the cams moves too quickly, and spins them too fast. Making it a little difficult to get them lined up perfectly. With all the spark plugs out the cylinders lose their compression, allowing for fine adjustment of the cams and crankshaft on the alignment marks. Hope this helps, I tried it with them in but it makes it easier with the spark plugs out.
hi, you mentioned when trying to put the timing belt back, both cranks kept turning. So you pulled all the spark plugs off in order to get the belt on without misaligning the marks. Can you explain how does taking the spark plugs off help with this? thanks
@billmfd3 It’s really not that tough of a job, as long as you can get the crankshaft pulley bolt free. Good Luck, if you have questions you can reach me at bundysgarage@gmail.com
Great job, coming from a rotary, I’ll give this a shot on my 05 TL, thanks…
