I want to say first off, very helpful. Thanks for taking the time. Secondly the rooster is hilarious, my wife came in asking what was so funny. Stellar work and I will have to go see the rest of the series. Just good information to have for someone new to Honda series engines.
Glad you got a kick out of that. You actually get use to them. I was definitely living on Green Acres back then. Also glad to hear you found the info useful. Thanks for taking a moment to comment!
Thanks for the video, I took off the balance gear and had problems (clunking/grinding sounds) took it back off lined everything up using the screwdriver (disregarded the timing marks like all the people saying you're wrong, get the shaft balanced with the screwdriver and things will be balanced. Thank You my little honda is right once again
According to the service manual the notch on the gear flange lines up with the guides you referenced. The line on the gear you referenced lines up with a small line on the oil pump housing. I do believe the way you did it will work just the same as long as you use the same method when Installing the belt.
@@ktecgarage The Hanes and service manual don't match up in several areas. I don't think it really matters which timing mark you use for this as long as you use the same mark for both. I stopped using the Hanes manual when I noticed it gave some incorrect torque specs. Your build was solid though and you did a really good job showing it all on video. I had never been inside one of these before and your videos have helped a ton.
I have a jdm f20b that I just got. when I insert the screw driver. The line you are referencing to on the outter cover gear, on mine the notch on the base of the gear matches up with the marks above. The line on the face of the gear you are referring is in 5 o clock position. My question is when the outer gear cover is put on it does it matter which reference you use on the gear as long as the balance shaft is where it suppose to be.
I believe the shaft rotates at a different ratio because of the gearing, so each rotation of the outer pulley isn’t one balancer shaft rotation. You should check the alignment with the screwdriver or bolt when setting the timing if I remember correctly.
It's 3 to 1. But u still want the marks right. And you are exactly right. Use the bolt/screwdriver when when putting the belts in. I did this in my timing video. Thanks for the comments!
Once you put the screw driver in the hole doesn't matter if you use the marks to align the pulley. Putting the screw driver in the hole is what makes the alignment. I just did mine just like I said and fired up the engine without a problem. This was my 1st full front engine timing kit replacement. If you turn the pulley 180 degrees you can put the screw driver in again. Next time you do the timing again use screw driver not the markings.The markings could have been aligned wrong from previous mechanic. If you yourself take off the gearbox to put a new gasket then is best to align it as the manufacturer recommends.
I agree with erything said here. I would only add that you should know where the mark on the rear gear is at TDC so you can check all your timing marks after rotating the crank.
Hey, I need your help. I work in 1997 Honda Accord, which the previous owner swap the engine but They install a 1994 engine which this one don’t use the crankshaft position sensor so now the car does not a star what I can do to get the car running I asked a mechanic and they want me to tear down the whole engine or replace it
I repaired my honda accord 2.2 92 time belts were installed but it was vibrating too much it would have been adjusted or there will be a problem in the counterweight bars I would appreciate your help
Why does my service manual say your alignment on the balance shaft gear box pulley is wrong. The mark on the gear box housing is to be matched with the dip on edge of pulley and the line goes to 5 O'clock, the diagonal line on oil pump housing.
Yeah. Where the mark on that rear shaft is not as important as the front one is. As long as the back shaft is locked up with a screwdriver when u put the belt on, you will be good. The mark is more to check ur timing after the belt is on and rotated the crank. Thanks for commenting.
Hello Friend. I'm in Brazil and I have a Honda Accord 95 when I disassembled my engine I noticed that the balancing shafts and their bushings are very worn, do you know what is possible to do? Sorry I'm using google translator.
Hello! If the shafts are the same as the F23, I would say there are not fixable parts. Ebay for used ones maybe. If they do not rattle in the journals and spin freely, I wouldn't be too concerned about them. Hope that translates into Portuguese!
I have a 2001 Honda Accord and i have a problem where my motor is leaking alot of oil like if you would to drain your oil like in a oil change , that how bad its leaking by the oil pan under by the belts do you know what it could possibly be
Couple of things. Oil pan, front main seal which would be your oil pump, gear box for your balance shaft or the cam seal. You should pull your timing belt cover and check all these components. Good luck!
That indent dash on the outside gear tooth lines up with a raised rib (about 5 o' clock) on the front of the engine. The mark you lined the dash up with is for a "v" notched out of the gear ~160° off the dash
Thanks. The whole point of the mark on the back gear is really to check the teeth on the belt aren't off after you rotate it a few times. Someone had marked that gear before I got there and that's how it was when I found it. Screwdriver is the main thing. You can see the sharpie mark on the arm for the spring.
Does this mean you just need to "time" the balance shaft and it doesn't matter what orientation you put the front gear on? The only reason to use the front gear marks is to help you line up for timing belt install?
If you have the marks on the gear right, it helps to make sure everything is still in time when you move it after you get the belts on. If you lock it with the screw driver/bolt your good. I think the confusion is that there are 2 marks on the gear. There is a half moon mark at about 4 o'clock that lines up with a round mark on the oil pump for if you are timing it from under the car.

Good deal! Thank you for letting us know it worked for you.

Great Explanation, watching this in 2024.

Runs fine so I must have got it right. I followed the instructions in the Haynes manual.

Next time I have a problems
I looking for you
Thanks you so much ❤❤❤
Always welcome
Good one exactly what I was looking for
Thank you! Glad you found the video.
I did this trick when doing my cyl head a while back, car runs perfectly fine aside from a vacuum hose I overlooked lol but I got that settled
Thank you so much for your time and video. It's a blessed!! Great explained.

Thank you! I'm very glad to hear the video helped you out.
@@ktecgarageI need to know which way to loosen the balanceshaft pulley, left or right?
@bernardojasso1252 Left
The screwdriver will only fit properly 1 out of 3 turns of the rear shaft pulley
I repaired my honda accord 2.2 92 time belts were installed but it was vibrating too much it would have been adjusted or there will be a problem in the counterweight bars I would appreciate your help

Hey like chicken make sound es Beatiful criature and you to my friendo god Lucky
do the balance shaft sprocket suppose wobble
No. Not at all. It should spin straight.
Hey great video but the marks are wrong
Could you elaborate?
