Tip: mark the old belt at the timing marks (before you remove it) and mark which way the belt faces you, then, on your work bench, stack the the new belt on top the old belt, mark the new belt same as the old .. put new belt on and line up the marks on the belt with those on the sprockets .. works every time.
David Hollfelder thank you sir
What if I took it off and didn't mark it? What should I do?
@@romainecrawford2720 pray to god
What if its stretched? Haven't tried it yet but just a what if question.
i was just thinking why no car vids ever talk about doing this. but better to explain the right way before the shortcuts lol
This video is amazing, seeing you do this on an engine outside of the car really makes sense. Excellent video quality too.
The best thing I have found this has helped me more than anything but know how my cars would run if it wasn't for youtub
This is great that you actually had a remove engine to break it down and have a clear display and explanation for setting up the timing belt. Kudos to you sir.
I want to thank you, you saved me a lot of money .honda wants to charge me 1500.to do this job . I bought the kit for about 100.online ,took me about 6hrs .....I find that following your was was the easiest
The odyssey runs smoothly and beautiful..thanks again.
hello did the online timing kit last until now? i heard they fail pretty quick
It’s a lot easier to understand when the motor is out and completely exposed. I’ll be doing my 07 odyssey in the near future. Currently 80k miles. Thanks for uploading.
this video was as simple and as perfect as any video can be ! I salute you from over in the city of compton it helped out big time you are a great mechanic thank you very much and I look forward to seeing more of your future videos!
WOW, people like you should be teachers, many videos I watch they skip out on important detail, but you explain every little detail thank you.
Maybe one day I will. Lol. I am glad it helped you out.
+George Melnik what's the recommended mileage before u replace your timing belt and water pump?
100,000 miles
Ok. Thanks. I start to see oil leaks from my transmission at the bottom recently. U think I should do a rebuild or just add a stop leak inside the transmission?
I never recommend any products that stop leaks as they never help. In my opinion, they just cause more issues down the road. If you have extra cash do what's right, it will last you in the long run.
Thank you George, I was having trouble with the left cam gear moving when trying to wrap the belt tight enough to get it on the tensioner so I followed your method and installed the belt to the crank gear last and it worked great.
I just did mine had to replace the motor mount to it was toast! I started mine from the crank and went counter clockwise so that when you reach the notorious rear cam that loves to jump it can’t move because it’s already got enough tension on both sides once the teeth are on it! I also was taught this trick by a honda tech, you completely leave the tensioner pulley off but close enough to grab it right after wrapping the belt around the rear cam you’ll want to keep it tight by squeezing the belts together that are under the rear cam! Then you can slide the tensioner pulley right in between easier then you’ll have to hold the belt tight and put the tapered bolt in the pulley, so much easier than trying to stretch the belt over the pulley when already installed!
No wonders the cams wants to jump on you, You NEVER start the belt on the cam pulleys..
You start from the crankshaft > front cam pulley > water pump > rear cam pulley > tensioner. This way its almost next to impossible to jump the cam..
This is the official Honda Maintenance Manual procedure.
skirmich hey
I could kiss you, but i won't. Here's a thumbs up instead.
Someone buy this guy a fxxking Beer ! Good info to know.
You are Teaching the Teacher .
Damn good comment. It's been a while since the last time I replaced a timing belt, so I'm rusty.
I always star with the crankshaft, but tried this way instead and you're right, the freaking cams keep on jumping.
After many tries, went back with the crankshaft first and didn't had as much trouble, the engine is in the car, that' why.
I wish I had read your comment before. Anyways, the belt is finally on, just need to reinstall the tensioner to be done.
Thanks for posting the right procedure, it will save many viewers headaches.
even i know that and im a newbie to replacing timing belts. you want the slack on the tensioner
Pretty simple and straight forward, I'd always use a new tensioner if fitting a new belt.
Excellent video Sir! I have an excellent judge of character and I'm certain you are a good person, with a well deserved and well endowed falace. Good luck with the repairs and God bless America!
I my is Steve and I like the way you explain everything about you the timing Mark and u also take your time too to explain I do like that u must keep it up 👍 I can see that you are a very good mechanic
Great video, thanks! I wish it was that easy with the engine in the car :) Took me two days in my 2008 MDX.
hey man I did my timing belt and components recently too. accord 07 v6. Same engine. Took me about 6 - 8 hours all together. First time. I was paranoid and nervous. lol But what does your timing belt sound like now? Just wondering how ours compare. Do you have a slight wooshing sound at all? I can hear it from the eye holes u open to see the timing. Like I open one hole and its def coming from the sprockets. Could just be the air wooshing through the cam sprockets. But anything like that? Sorry for long message. I wish i could pick your brain lol Not many people have done what we have done
Amazing job
@@alexandercahoulan6583 amigo tendrás el manual de este motor acura mdx 3.7 2007???
0:02 .....damn, that engine is clean 👍🏼
The factory repair manual shows that the last point for timing belt install is that left (facing enging from bumper) probably because it jumps like you said. In order it shows crank pulley, tensioner, right cam pulley, water pump, left pulley or "jumper".
Well done mate. I just done my 2002 Acura cl. Water pump Replacement timing belt it's all good its runing now thanks
Hi Mr. Melnik. You are very knowledgeable and I appreciate you sharing your knowledge with the community. If you were near me in NC, you'd be my mechanic.
I always like to count the number of belt teeth between sprockets prior so I make sure I don't jump a tooth when tensioning etc.
And like the other poster said .. start from the crank pulley so it doesn't jump.
Great video... Always nice to refresh before diving into this again.
Looks pretty straight forward. I think I might need to do this on a 3.5
What’s the concerns about it ? Do you notice when driving ?
For the tensioner your pin you can use a small allen wrench
Yeah ok sir, the tensioners take five minutes to compress slowly, like a clock, if you would've bearly put pressure on the vise it turns itself and slightly clicks of oil you can hear like a clock gear, I'm tierd of other mechanics ramming thoughs tensioners inn😑, it's hydraulic and there's lil seals in there your pushing back inside by using force, and later on failure accurs or premature belt failure at a shorter mileage happens or a rough idle and not smooth idle happens in which no one can figure out, but now you know, Ciao Bella*🙋
The tensioner rapidly adjusts on the fly. Five minutes my ass!
Thank you it took me like 3 trying to get the timing right and thankd to this video it took me less then 5 min , great video
Nailed it my friend you’re genius
Lol stopped watching when i seen a cam get routed first. Smhh
Good job , I learn something from this video
very professional, can't be better explain don't need anything else to replace an set the timing belt thank you
Thanks George for sharing this.. I wish I would have found this video first.. very helpful!
I don't know why you get 28 dislikes, but that was clear as it can get, thanks for this video Brother
+GSHeverything _27
thanks
Man I wish my J-series engine was this clean!
I'm about to do two of these. Made my life easier thanks man.
Hello what belt and others details you used for change only honda? Maybe you can recommend a good quality another brand 😅 thx
Brother you have explained very well I am also a master of these vehicles
How do you set the timing when the timing belt is already off the car. My son 2006 Honda Accord drive belt rubbed a hole in the timing cover and the drive belt broke and made its way inside the timing cover and wrapped around the timing belt my son not knowing any better cut the timing belt to get the drive belt off so now I have no idea how to set the timing marks on the two cams sprocket without the belt being on.
Very cool to see the engine out to display and you going over the steps. One of the clearest video out there.
One question which maybe an obvious question is I’m assuming you crank the crank bolt to line up before starting the job like your video?
Those type of tensioners are known for leaking and failure. Don't reuse it if you don't have too. Buy a timing belt component kit and it will come with everything you need to replace. RockAuto dot com has great pricing on timing belt component kits.
BundysGarage yup ...no way I'd reuse anything... especially the bearings
Hey I'm do something like that but the all kit remplace!!! But I have a problem went I pull out the belt!! The crankshaft,Are desynchronized and the crankshaft from below with the top, checke the diagram of the kit and the pistons the synchronise but the bottom of the crankshalft below is more complicated move it !!some buddy can get a tip for that sincronice the cranckshalft whit the pistons
BundysGarage b
Im a Honda Tech and Dont be Cheap!! Buy the OEM parts! Trust Me
Noe Lopez I totally agree! I used an aftermarket tensioner and went bad after a month. It was making this horrible noise and of course the Wifey wasn’t happy 🤨 Had to buy the OEM tensioner and recheck timing marks for safe measures. One year later., no issues, got another 50k miles until the next timing belt replacement. Now we’re having sliding doors issues 😟 Another project to tackle...
Great tutorial. Thank you for taking the time to put this together.
I recently did the timing belt on the wife's 06 Ody. Month later the engine developed this horrible noise metallic sound when idling and couldn't determine where it was coming from and no check engine lights to narrow down the issue. Had to remove the crank pulley bolt and covers for inspection. Found a bad hydraulic tensioner that was not keeping the correct tensiosion. Replaced it with the original Honda brand and problem was solved. Side Note: I will for now on spend the extra money and buy OEM or AISIN to to have that peace of mind.
Wow, thanks for this video. I have confidence in doing this job now after seeing this.
very heipful to see it done outside of car
Do you have a video to fix the timing because you accidently remove the tensioner removing the cover bolts and the belt got slack and realized it while adjusting but you realized and turned it back before you turned it too far and put the crank shaft back to the point it was at but the cams still look aligned! Help!😩
THANKS FOR THE VIDEO GOD BLESS U BRO..
U welcome. Thanks for your support.
Right pully is half-a-tooth past TDC. That kind of info makes all the difference in the world.
Thank you George for that video! Very informative grant. I like to do everything independently too. Also I try to help my friends))
Yesterday is my 1st time BIY replacing my Legend's timing belt. The new belt is very tight and it take me 2 hrs to put it into the position😣 Luckly, finally success. 😅
Takes me days and days ...it still doesn't fit right smh. It is WAY too toght
I never marked anything before taking the old belt off, just wondering as long as the 3 marks are lined up and TDC, everything should be fine no?
I had an oil leak on a 2003 Acura 3.2 Tl.. I replaced the oil filter adapter housing gasket and the oil pan gasket. Still leaked oil. I finally discovered that.there is an o-ring in the area of the water pump, behind the front cover. I feel like this should be replaced every time with a timing belt replacement on honda V-6 engines.
Wow. Nicely done. Thanks. My engine is making that loud noise from this side. I think its my tensioner. Belts and pumps were replaced 2 years only and also this tensioner. Maybe needs resetting?
Really good video. What do u do if the camshaft sprockets jump back after you slide the belt? I haven't released the tensioner pin. But when I slided the belt the sprockets jumped back, except the crankshaft sprucket. 🙁 That ine still on time.
Excellent quality video .thanks
looks hard and thats not even sitting in a car. good job on explaining
+Rich Lo its not easy first time you do it but if tou do it again makes it very easy
thank you for the two turn for timeing mark
Going to be doing mine soon. Never done it before but have watched several vids. Any tips appreciated
Great job on how you explained it. Easy straight plain English.
I also want to know if you have a video on how to replace your oil pump on this time of engine.
I will be doing this on a Saturn Vue 3.5L engine. J series.
Amazing vídeo thanks a Lot from México city
I've done about 7 or 8 of these timing belt jobs on Hondas after a while it's not that bad
Jon I Got a question for you? My son has a 2006 Honda Accord with a 3.0l engine. His drive belt rubbed a hole in the timing cover so the drive belt broke and wrapped around the timing belt. He cut the timing belt off just to get the drive belt off. So my question to you is how do I set the camshaft marks to get it lined up in time. I have set the timing in the past I just mark the old belt at each timing mark and then mark up my new with the old one that I marked up. But since the belt is already off I don’t know how to go by setting the timing
Gracias profe , x compartir sus conocimientos. Se le agradece.
The key on the bottom gear you said you have to be very careful not to loose it,how it stay in there how you secure the key in ,thanks nice video,
hey George great video. Ive had a timing belt slip a tooth 3 separate times while simply rolling back in a driveway and just letting the clutch out while in gear (motor off) do you know of a factory bulletin or solution to fix this issue when the motor is inadvertently bumped backwards. I'm thinking the belt slacks up and slips a tooth or two. Anyway, just curious
Thanks. I’m going to tackle this summer.
12:20 "This is an interference engine. It will bend valves."
I love the video and some of the comments are helpful too which i appreciate. My question is,when i remove the belt,the markings of the gears will be in different areas right? So ill have to turn it and line them up to 12 oclock, before i put the belt and proceed like in the video?
Great video George. Thanks
tank you! good explanation. what about a beer after all that!
Thanks for the video. Ill be changing mine today
Show how to do it with the engine in the car what to see ur skills
Thanks, it helped me understand it better. I have a Honda Pilot and it seems that it has problems with 2 cylinders, what do you recommend I do?
Had mine done at the dealership at 87,000 miles 06 Honda Ridgeline. I hope it was done right. Some of there work really stinks. I had a new battery installed from the same people. They put a screw between the clamp and battery terminal because it was a loose fit. They should have put on a new clamp. Also the 2 J bolts holding the battery were rusted so they just stuck them back on. One was broken in half so I had a loose battery. Some of the dealerships work is really bad. Be Aware of dealerships.
11:34 made me laugh out loud.
You are a shade tree mechanic for sure bruh
This video was very helpful 👏
I liked the video in general, I will change it myself
This video is GOLD man, thank you so much. Excellent information.👍👍👍
Hello, if not, I did not set the marks before removing the belt. How to install a new belt correctly. Camshafts according to the marks and crankshaft and put on the belt?
!! Gracias amigo me fue de gran utilidad tu explicacion en hora buena,..
Thank you for advice
Very helpful video
So,what happened if one of the sprocket pops/move or even both moves,off the alignment marks,can you simply turn it back to line it up or you need to rotate it so many rounds to line it up?
If the engine was in a car, you'd never get this job done doing it the way you did it. As others have said, crankshaft first, then cams, last is tensioner. Hopefully people read the comments before trying this job on their own cars.
You didn't put the bettery cramp bolt on the idler pully tensiner. Is it ok? Why do we have to put the bettery cramp bolt? Many guys don't put the bettery cramp bolt on it. Why? We don't need it. 2007 Oddyssey and your video show the bolt thread and hold.
Great video, while in there, its wise to replace crank sensor
Cheat code: remove the left tensioner, put the belt first and then put the tensioner, makes it sooo much easier
Thank you very much George ,for the great details video
Great video perfect timing
Really good straight forward...Any Torque specs available? Thanks
Thank you my bro! We have a 2010 SH-AWD TL with a faulty Hydraulic Tensioner. I have the replacement but from watching your video I'm going to buy the kit so I can replace the belt and water pump. Now is there a way to JUST replace the tensioner?
Amigo una consulta te lo un Honda Legend motor 3.2 V6 año 92, hace poco estuvo en el taller, al momento de armarlo el mecánico hay unas mangueras de succión de aire que salen del camarín que no supo a dónde iban de casualidad tendrás un plano o imágenes a dónde van conectadas todas esas mangueras?
great video but you should install the timing belt from the crank to the left cam sprocket first them move in the opposite direction of engine rotation not cams then crank
Fantastic video, straight forward. How likely am I to experience bent valves on my 2005 honda odyssey 3.5 jseries? My belt was replaced 18 months ago and I'm doing the job again. Not sure why the belt failed, as the engine didn't seem to show any signs of malfunction or issues. Just drove one day and jumped on the Express Way, while sitting in traffic the van just shut off and didn't want to start again. Low and behold had to get a tow back home. Any feedback would be gratefully appreciated. Helpppppp!
❤great video! Thank you for sharing 🎉🎉🎉🎉
THANKS!!!FOR THIS VÍDEO!!! IT WAS VERY HELPFULL TO ME...
hello George, one question, I have a 2006 accord, it had the classic noise of the tensor as a sewing machine, I changed it and that sound was removed, but now the tensor leaked oil, what could that fault be? why did it leak? the band was placed correctly, so much so that the car worked normally for 15 days.... thank for readme
What if the any of the top marks don’t match ..? Do you remove the belt and single Vandely move each one …
I’m working on an Acura for the first time. Need to do an oil pump reseal. Want to say... fuck... this... shit... but thanks for the solid informative video. Gonna make things at least a LITTLE less stressful 🤣
what if the rear and front cylinder head marks are on 1 but the one on the crank is not upright. What can I do there?great video by the way thanks a lot.
? After 2 full turns how many more times you have to rotate the engine so the timming marks line up
Great video!
You should install the tensioner after the belt had been installed.
Quan Do
Quan Do yes that would be alot easier to put the tensioner on last
Thank you your video. My honda van is making noise and is running load.
Question for you about the water pump. In a situation when the water pump isn't being removed. If when removing the 3 housing bolts it starts to leak a bit of coolant is that seal permanently broke. Other words once the 3 bolts are back in it is likely it will leak again without new RTV?
Do you have the set the timing marks before you change the timing tensioner on 2006 Acura MDX
Excellent video! It was very helpful..thank you.
