matty1 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 I'm gonna be doing my cambelt this weekend, was just wondering if any1 has any tips?? I've read the guides I've ordered a special pulley tool and I think I'm all ready for it!! Have done 1 previous cambelt and that was on my mitsubishi legnum which was a mission! Quad cams on that! Had to remove turbo pipes and power steering and pretty much everything else, so the honda one does seem a little easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Pretty easy really. Little awkward to get tools down there. Timing marks are easily found. Tensioner more or less sorts itself, roll engine over by hand couple of times then tighten if your marks are still lined up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 That is to take up slack in the belt "Rotate the crankshaft counterclockwise 3 teeth then tighten the tensioner" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 3 teeth is fair enough. Personally I rotate the crank all the way counter clockwise couple of times then tighten. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty1 Posted June 27, 2013 Author Share Posted June 27, 2013 Ok, cheers James and kink, think il do your way kink. Align everything up, take off the belt, put new one on, turn a couple of times then tighten, make sure no slack. Another thing, I've ordered a new tensioner, do I need to fit this?
