Just did this on my wife's 99 Accord. Can't thank you enough Brian, as I love turning wrenches. I will now declare myself officially promoted from novice driveway mechanic to a dangerously novice driveway mechanic as I'm not afraid to get into the guts of the engine now!! :) Keep making videos Brian, Love em!
This has got to be one of the best produced, informative and helpful videos I've ever seen on TH-cam. The detail, the filming and even the ergonomic suggestions are great. Thank you very much. I have to replace my head gasket on my 2001 Honda Accord. Everything was fine until I got to removing the timing belt. This video will let me do it without worry. Thanks again.
My '95 Honda had it's timing belt replaced again today and I hope the tech who worked on it has the skill and professional attitude you show here - doing each step carefully because it made you feel good even if client never knew thr difference. Educational and impressive.
@@briansmobile1 hello. Im looking to buy the timing belt kit. Can you recommend one from Amazon ? What would be the best name brand kit to get? Thank you
@@danielsantana6858 Gates timing belts and Aisin water pump, are the best name brand. I would recommend changing the timing belt adjustment pulleys as well, those would be Koyo name brand. And also there is a balance shaft seal retaining clip that should be used to keep that seal from backing out. Those are only like 7 bucks.
Followed along , did as described,got 'er done. No leaks,ran better than before and saved some serious cash., So I feel the least I can do is subscribe and share Your vids with all my buds. Thanks, man.
You stated "no leaks", so I take it you changed some seals? Which ones, and what did you use to get them out? My '97 2.2L non-vtec has oil all over the place behind the timing belt cover.
You didn’t see it in video maybe he didn’t do it but you need to change the the pulleys tensioner sprocket everything. Many belts fail due to 1 of those. It’s 50/50. Sometimes belt just breaks. Oil leaks out from between timing cover due to seals,crank-cam. Look like giant orings. Go behind crank-can. Wich ever is leaking. I change those anyways along with everything he took off. That’s the correct way for a timing job. But he did say the customer was tryng to save money so I’m sure it was just a belt swap Wich to me is totally waste of time and money.Its only about $150 for everything. $30-$40 for the belt. I’ll soend the extra $100 and be assured my new belt isn’t gonna break because I’d tensioner pulley sprocket failure. Oh plus the oil leak,big no no. That oil is coating your belt and if it slips you need to set it again,but if your driving it won’t slip it will just be catastrophic breakdown. Luckily this is a Honda.You can’t ruin your valves. It’s always gonna be just a timing job.
Thanks bud keeps me on my toes dude to the fact i just graduated, became an apprentice for honda and i run my own back yard business cant thank you enough for doing these videos to keep new guys like gain more tips and routes thanks man.thank you
Thank you Brian. I’m going to have to watch this maybe about three times to work on my 96 Honda Accord vtech. I was hesitant at first but thanks to you I can try and hope to be successful in replacing my timing belt and water pump.
Thank you Brian. I just did my 2nd civic timing belt and now I will attempt the accord as well. I would never even try this; but your videos have given me the confidence to do it and save a lot of money.
I wish I was your neighbor or atleast lived in your area. I do most of my own auto repairs but its nice to have friends that have automotive knowledge around in case of some tough times.
Brian, thank you very much for your videos. They are very informative and very helpful. I am now not scared to work on my 95 honda accord. Thanks to Spanky too, it helps to see how you work with every detail! You are the man!
I'm headed into this job, and I'm glad I watched your vid first . . . well, actually yours was the 3rd or 4th I've watched, but your obvious know-how along with some well-placed foresighted and cautionary advice ( i.e. , , , don't back off the alt. adjuster 100 %, I thought it was really decent of you to demo how difficult it is to re-attach the darn thing ;-) !! ), the main reason I also preferred Haynes Manuals to Chilton . . . H's always seemed to give a bit of, "if you do this . . . then that", kind of advice. Overall . . . Great Job !! . . . and thank-you !! BTW . . .I don't know what/if " Spanky" got "compensated" for her excellent efforts, but if all she got was entertainment value, I expect it was almost worth it for that alone !! Huzzah Spanky !!
Brilliant!! Just completed replacement of the timing belt and water pump on my 1996 Honda Accord. Runs like a top. Thanks for posting this video and making the work so much easier. Cheers!
awesome video, few days ago i lost my crankshaft pulley, and the mechanic charged me alot saying tht timing belts needed to b adjusted with new pulley key and bolt, now i know what are timing belt and how it works... really appreciate it :)
Thank you for this video. it made doing this job plus replacing the camshaft seal manageable. the only thing I would have wanted more information on would be tensioning the inner timing belt. the oil leak my boss has had for 5 years is now gone with your help.
Thank you so much for the detailed video & tips, Brian & team! A few things I noticed in my first timing belt on '96 vtec Accord: 1) getting crank bolt loose was a nightmare! Almost assembled an oxy-acet torch but a buddy happened to have a 4x torque multiplier which worked like a charm! (keeping my eye out on Ebay for one now! 2) getting lower timing cover off was not even close to how easy as it looks in your video; got it out with a few scrapes, putting it it back was another nightmare!
Thanks for the video! Really helped me out! All went well, except now I have a loud "whirring" noise. Does this mean my belt is too tight or too loose, and how do I go about fixing it? I have found videos on tightening it, but not loosening it. thanks!
Thank you for your very detailed explanation of this project, very nice camera work as well , I'm going to attempt this same project tonight, I'll definitely look for more video's from you in the future. Joe in Chicago
Keep in mind, without the big air gun briansmobile1 has, you need either a chain wrench or the crankshaft pulley tool to hold the crank pulley still. Usually these pulley bolts are on really tight and when you undo them it sounds like you broke something. I've done many timing belts in Hondas, Acuras and Toyotas and it is pretty similar. with regards to 4 cylinders.
Your video is/was very helpful! Beautifully done. Please say the size of the fastener in every instance if you can. That is a big help to us 1st timers!
briansmobile1, Have watched a few of your videos and find them very informative and thorough. Anyone think your not a top notch technician is just dealing with some kind of envy jealousy. Been repairing vehicles for approx. 20 yrs. or so and you have saved me time and money on the repairs I had not encountered on the few not familiar with. Great job and maybe you should consider being an instructor as age creeps up on you. Thanks and keep up the great work. L.S.
I don't know much about cars, but I still like your videos because you are so personable and informative. You seem like you really know what you're doing and it's fascinating just to watch you work and explain things step by step. Great videos.
Thanks for the video. Your video was the main one I watched to do my 2002 Accord’s timing belt, tensioners and water pump. There were many helpful tips and the step by step instructions made the job stress free. I did the job over 2 partial days but much of the time was reviewing the video for the next step and to make sure all pulleys were in perfect alignment. I also changed the oil, filter, coolant, spark plugs and replaced the valve cover gasket. I used an Aisin kit $132 shipped with Mitsuboshi belts, Aisin pump and Koyo tensioners. I probably saved over $1,000 in labor but I do not blame them for charging that much; it’s a job.
The Gates kit isn't that high quality based on the Amazon reviews that say the Chinese water pump goes bad. Get the Aisin kit (about $190) which uses OEM components. The original pump on the Honda is an Aisin.
I have to say that this is the most informative video of this job on the internet, I have been preparing to do this on my 2000 Accord and have watched this several times (just look at all my comments) might seem a little overkill but this is a job you need to get right the first time and I seem to pick up something different each time. I do want to say that although he did mention it, it was cut short and I missed it.. But after putting the balancer belt back on, take that long temporary bolt out of the maintenance hole in the back of the engine so the shaft can move freely and replace the permanent bolt. Also I answered my own question on the best prying position to re-tighten the P/S pump. I didn't realize there was a 1/2 in. ratchet notch on the pump to attach a breaker bar for leverage. I credit my newly acquired Honda repair manual for that info. Like before, I know this is an older video but thanks again Brian for all the time and patience you put into your videos to help us do these jobs ourselves and saving lots of $$$$. When I am able, I will search your channel and help you out ($$) if applicable.
Thank you for an excellent "how to" video. I'm so impressed, with your guidance and encouragement I really believe I can tackle this job relatively easy. I've done a similar job on a Nissan Quest. After watching this most enjoyable tuber, I have decided to begin first thing in the morning. Because of you I went and purchased my first set of pneumatic tools. I'm now a big fan of Briansmobile1 and Spanky who by the way did a most excellent job as well.
i think your videos are very good and thorough for a novice/beginner, a bit slow for me since i am looking more for the special tricks, tools, and watchouts but great stuff.
Wow, that was fast. Thanks for the quick answers. Ran out of room in the last post to thank you for the videos. More fun to watch than Eric the Car Guy and you seem to have a lot more experience as well. I help friends and neighbors with auto repairs - this is a great resource for people like me who love wrenching but can't do it every day to make lots of experience.
i really enjoy this this replacement is a complicated project and he walks you through it piece by piece and even go into the tiny details that are not necessarily important but good to know especially when you are new to car repairs. most how to's was you take this thing off then this thing and this thing which isn't as helpful as going through it slowly.
I like it when you say, "just have fun with it." very ZEN of you. I myself work on my 96 accord all the time so confidence is high as I just developed a heavy leak coming from what looks like my water pump seal and now have no choice or money but to just do it. But the butterflies are raising their brow at me. Nevertheless, thank you for your great help.
Brian, thanks for the awesome video! Just did mine today (well, and yesterday). I think the person who did the timing belt last time didn't put the bolt in to hold the balance shaft. In that case there is no instruction on getting aligned again, but M Wiley Blackburn posted a TH-cam video called "2000 Honda Accord 2.3 LX: balancer belt installation" on how to get it aligned correctly, based on marks that are available - it worked for me and it is actually running much smoother, I am assuming because now the balance shaft is actually balancing the engine correctly.
i really have to thank you for putting this video up. it was very helpful when having to take out my own water pump. my car isn't a vtec though so a few things were different but still. thanks for this video and the explanations.
Hey Brian I just wanted to thank you for your video. About a week before my son got his drivers license we pulled his car to the garage to check tire pressures and noticed a heavy coolant leak coming from the lower timing cover. I’m mechanical enough to replace plug and play items but this was an intimidating job due to the timing aspect. We followed your video, spent some time together, and successfully replaced the timing belts and water pump! Thanks again for your help and keep doing what you’re doing! It was a huge help I would have never been able to do that without it!
Nice video, very relaxed explanation and no jittering around :p Why doesnt anyone suggest having a friend pressing on the brake and putting in 5th gear to stop the engine from rotating when you remove the bolt? I did a head gasket, new head bolts, new valves, new belt and lapping to a 1,4 Clio MK2 and we got the cam bolt off pretty easily when my dad pressed the brake and the trans was on 5th gear :) After 6000km still running perfect
I like when you said "so take your time and enjoy it" isn't that the truth! I mean why get in a hurry and screw it up? LOL, sometimes you have to stop and drink some coffee while inspecting it, then think about it, then talk about it, then occasionally stop and... smell the roses. You mentioned Scotty Kilmer, you watch him too? I'm a subscriber of Scotty, I like his video's, sure he doesn't give complete details, and any half ass mechanic should know a few things anyways before they get greasy, but if you have a question at least he responds and interacts with other youtuber's, where a lot of youtuber's will not.
Awesome video man. I just did a water pump, timing belt and thermostat job on my gf's 93' Toyota Camry. She has a big loss of power so I think my timing jumped. This video helped me understand timing alot better so thanks man. Keep it up. This was super helpful even though it's a honda.
He makes more money, videos, and subscribers than I do. That's his goal and he nails it with less effort than I put in. That's got to count for something.
Thank you! Very good video, instructions and tips. I replaced Belts, w. pump and adj. pulleys on my 2002 accord. are little squiggly, I am concerned timing belts maybe too tight.
Hello Brian. I just did my 99 accord ex timing belts a little different but I made sure that all the timing are aligned with timing marks. Once I was done I started the care and 1st turn the car turned on engine sounds good. Then this morning I went to start the car and it started after a few crank and started weird with a clunk sound and engine still sounds calm but it's just at every start and I took the belt cover to make sure the belts weren't loose and they were fine. I've heard people turn 5 to 6 counterclockwise is this a must of not? For me if I did the timing wrong the car wouldn't turn or I could of damage the valaves but after the start it's not the same it's like the battery died and it's new. I replaced the flywheel which my car battery was sitting in the trunk for almost 5 days.
Getting a complete head gasket set and new water pump and tensioners and timing belt and a crankshaft seal, Ill be ready to rock and roll next week. You video has very helpful tips and advice. I'm subcribing
This guy is doing a great job not only on the fixing of this car, but on the step by step how it's done. Great job.
Just did this on my wife's 99 Accord. Can't thank you enough Brian, as I love turning wrenches. I will now declare myself officially promoted from novice driveway mechanic to a dangerously novice driveway mechanic as I'm not afraid to get into the guts of the engine now!! :) Keep making videos Brian, Love em!

I don't understand why you need to put the long bolt into the oil pump. It has no timing position correct?
I wish I was your neighbor or atleast lived in your area. I do most of my own auto repairs but its nice to have friends that have automotive knowledge around in case of some tough times.
Brian, thank you very much for your videos. They are very informative and very helpful. I am now not scared to work on my 95 honda accord. Thanks to Spanky too, it helps to see how you work with every detail! You are the man!
Wow- thank you very much! I couldn't have done it without my lovely assistant Spanky.
This is the first video I've seen that also explains putting it back together. Your a life saver man

Thanks for this video. I replaced the timing belt and water pump in mine yesterday and this helped alot. Cheers!
You're welcome!
This video is spot on and walked me through fixing my car. I'm very appreciative to have found this video ! A++
My lord that was a serious video, I was wondering why you hadnt posted much in the last week or so, this must have took a lot of time. Excellent work.
awesome video, few days ago i lost my crankshaft pulley, and the mechanic charged me alot saying tht timing belts needed to b adjusted with new pulley key and bolt, now i know what are timing belt and how it works...

He's a good guy with a lot of similar war-trench experience. You can't help but have nothin but love for the guy and his efforts.
Here I am after 8 years watching your video again. Thanks.
Thank you so much for showing us this VDO...I'm saving a lot of money doing this my self also
You took the fear out of this job! Thanks for walking me through it!

Thanks for the feedback! Perhaps I'll do some more like this.
Decided to do it myself. great video, it helped a lot. 10 hours later and I was done!!

Mitsuboshi belts, Aisin pump and Koyo tensioners.
I probably saved over $1,000 in labor but I do not blame
them for charging that much; it’s a job.
BlueHaze7024 then why the heck dont they use a chain instead of belts
The Gates kit isn't that high quality based on the Amazon reviews that say the Chinese water pump goes bad. Get the Aisin kit (about $190) which uses OEM components. The original pump on the Honda is an Aisin.

That sounds far simpler than ordering individual parts from Majestic!
Thanks for the refresher.
In video think you forgot to remind everone to pull counter balance bolt and put plug back in.
Thanks again
I have to say that this is the most informative video of this job on the internet, I have been preparing to do this on my 2000 Accord and have watched this several times (just look at all my comments) might seem a little overkill but this is a job you need to get right the first time and I seem to pick up something different each time. I do want to say that although he did mention it, it was cut short and I missed it.. But after putting the balancer belt back on, take that long temporary bolt out of the maintenance hole in the back of the engine so the shaft can move freely and replace the permanent bolt. Also I answered my own question on the best prying position to re-tighten the P/S pump. I didn't realize there was a 1/2 in. ratchet notch on the pump to attach a breaker bar for leverage.

Best video on this car ! F23. Watched them all this is the most detailed and accurately described.

All I keep saying is he's good!! He loves to teach.. 🤗🤗 thank you
One of the best auto videos on youtube. Well done!
Wow. Amazing video man! It was very thorough and it made it a lot easier for me to change my timing belt.
Hy mate you video has help me a lot I just got my honda odyssey timing belt done today everything wnt well
Thank you so much for putting those video .
RON PAUL!!!!!! Educational and Inspirational!!!!
I am going to replace the timing belt on my 1995 B16A3 motor so I learned a lot from this video, thank you.
EXCELLENT video. I've got a 2001, and this video is perfect.
Nicely done. Thank you, ever so much, for the confidence to do the job. Been a long time since I done my '92.
Thank you for posting the video. you did very good job! people like you making our world wonderful.
hi there greeetings from ireland thanks for the video it really helped me in doing my timing belt on my accord, keep up the good work
I'm digging your Ron Paul poster in the background. Awesome video man, it's going to help me fix my wife's accord.
2 of my favourite youtubers in one vid, good idea!
Thank you for showing this video .
Brian, thanks for the awesome video! Just did mine today (well, and yesterday). I think the person who did the timing belt last time didn't put the bolt in to hold the balance shaft. In that case there is no instruction on getting aligned again, but M Wiley Blackburn posted a TH-cam video called "2000 Honda Accord 2.3 LX: balancer belt installation" on how to get it aligned correctly, based on marks that are available - it worked for me and it is actually running much smoother, I am assuming because now the balance shaft is actually balancing the engine correctly.
Chris S if u put the bolt in to lock the balancer and everything else is aligned at tdc u should be good to go
i really have to thank you for putting this video up. it was very helpful when having to take out my own water pump. my car isn't a vtec though so a few things were different but still. thanks for this video and the explanations.
Thank you for videos...My Accord is a 94 EX v-tec... Does this video apply to mine?
Exelente vid, AMIGO: u are the best
MUCHAS GRACIAS POR TUS VIDEOS

you and I might be the only ones left with a 2.2 accord. under rated engine
@@weber471 Haha.....yeah! 260k+ and it's still a daily driver for a teenager!
I own one, it's a 5 speed, I believe I have water pump leaking, is it the same process? Do I need to change the belt too?
@@gabrielark6353 Not sure if it's the same for a 5 speed but you should definitely change the belt while you're in there.
@@k.c.6743 ok thank you
Nice video, very relaxed explanation and no jittering around :p
Why doesnt anyone suggest having a friend pressing on the brake and putting in 5th gear to stop the engine from rotating when you remove the bolt?
I did a head gasket, new head bolts, new valves, new belt and lapping to a 1,4 Clio MK2 and we got the cam bolt off pretty easily when my dad pressed the brake and the trans was on 5th gear :) After 6000km still running perfect
Very well put together im sure the honda boys will appreciate it alot :) keep it up
Wow. I can't believe you taped this job. That's awesome. Thanks Brian. It's stuff like this why I follow your channel :)
Not only does he do an awesome job with explaining step by step. He is ohsooo fine!!!!!
hey eric great video man. i appreciate the time that you and spanky took to make a great video. thanks again brother. :)
Thanks for posting, great vid, very helpful with the details.
I wish you would have done a vid on the valve adjustment as well though
Excellent video. Very thorough and detailed. Thanks for making it
So much detail in this video. Just telling me where to put the jack helped so much man. Thank.
awesome video, i just finished doing my timing belt, thanks brian
Hi Brian. Great steps by steps video. Very helpful.
Love the Ron Paul Poster!!
Tons of extra tidbits of info squeezed into this one... very well done!.... and thanks!
I like when you said "so take your time and enjoy it" isn't that the truth! I mean why get in a hurry and screw it up? LOL, sometimes you have to stop and drink some coffee while inspecting it, then think about it, then talk about it, then occasionally stop and... smell the roses. You mentioned Scotty Kilmer, you watch him too? I'm a subscriber of Scotty, I like his video's, sure he doesn't give complete details, and any half ass mechanic should know a few things anyways before they get greasy, but if you have a question at least he responds and interacts with other youtuber's, where a lot of youtuber's will not.
awesomely detailed video great job Brian. Will definitely subscribe
Awesome video man. I just did a water pump, timing belt and thermostat job on my gf's 93' Toyota Camry. She has a big loss of power so I think my timing jumped. This video helped me understand timing alot better so thanks man. Keep it up. This was super helpful even though it's a honda.
I love that you and EricTheCarGuy do little shout-outs to each other in your vids. :)
I love Scotty Kilmer but your videos are more helpful. Like having a friend who knows what they're doing helping you out.
My neighbors really appreciate it. I try to be available for them when they need me.
He makes more money, videos, and subscribers than I do. That's his goal and he nails it with less effort than I put in. That's got to count for something.
I wish that I knew to whom you are comparing yourself. To Jesus? I am trying to be like Jesus. I did not know that he made videos, though.
He's really good. I like his video because he tell you everything. An talk in the video. The best in my book!
Thanks- I've been wanting to do this vid for a long time, but didn't have the help or software and time needed.
great video on this repair considering i own basically that same car except mines the 3.0 motor thanks for showing it.
Thank you! Very good video, instructions and tips. I replaced Belts, w. pump and adj. pulleys on my 2002 accord. are little squiggly, I am concerned timing belts maybe too tight.
YOUR EXCELLENT U EXPLAINED AS U GO.. COULDN'T ASK FOR A BETTER VIDEO THAN THIS..U NEED YOUR OWN CHANNEL 💯
Would this be a similar procedure with a 2000 honda accord v6 coupe? great vid btw. best one out there so far
Thanks a lot! I always learn some great stuff from you
Great video, very helpful.. nice to see people such as yourself being helpful
Hello Brian. I just did my 99 accord ex timing belts a little different but I made sure that all the timing are aligned with timing marks. Once I was done I started the care and 1st turn the car turned on engine sounds good. Then this morning I went to start the car and it started after a few crank and started weird with a clunk sound and engine still sounds calm but it's just at every start and I took the belt cover to make sure the belts weren't loose and they were fine. I've heard people turn 5 to 6 counterclockwise is this a must of not? For me if I did the timing wrong the car wouldn't turn or I could of damage the valaves but after the start it's not the same it's like the battery died and it's new. I replaced the flywheel which my car battery was sitting in the trunk for almost 5 days.
Getting a complete head gasket set and new water pump and tensioners and timing belt and a crankshaft seal, Ill be ready to rock and roll next week. You video has very helpful tips and advice. I'm subcribing
very helpful, getting ready to do this job in a few days. i will definitely be using this as a reference
thank you for putting this video up. it was very helpful
