    Valve Cover Tube Seals

    I did my valve cover lower tube seals the other day and was having trouble getting the rocker assembly on. I was able to get the assembly on today, however, I had to slip the timing belt off the crank. The crank moved a little bit but luckily I marked everything. What is the easiest way to loosen the timing belt to get it back on the crank? Should I loosen the tensioner bolt?

    What is the easiest way to reach the bolt?


    Thanks.

    JTM.

    Funny because I thought you dont have to remove the timing belt of the cam gear to do the lower spark tube seals.

    But to put the t-belt back on you would have to loosen the tensioner and re-set all the timing marks. Take the lower and upper cover off so you can DTC on cylinder #1 to do the work.

        I believe that there is no easy way. In order to reach the tensioner bolt the timming belt plastic cover would need to be removed. Once removed, you"ll be able to see the belt tensioner bolt. I went thru the same procedure on my 91 accord a couple years ago and there was just no other way but to expose everything. In my case I changed the water pump, new timming belt and belt tensioner roller.

          You dont, I was having trouble lining it up so I slipped the belt off. The car wasn't TDC when I changed the lower tube seals. I marked the timing on the belt and the cam gear though. I just want to loosen the belt enough to slide it on the cam and then re-tighten it.

          So in order to do this I have to remove the lower t-belt cover too right.

          Thanks for all the feedback everyone.

            Is there any easy way to get the tensioner bolt off? I can get a 14mm wrench down in there but it seems like it's just destroying the bolt. What should I do?

                You take the motor mount off so the engine moves?
