rule to the wise when you buy your first accord replace the belt immediately. ive owned 3 and did all 3 right away. my last (present) one the guy before me said ahh ya i had it done 1/2 year ago but lost receipt, LIES.... i have a friend that does mine with all seals, pump and what nots for $200. labor and he showed me the worn cracked belt that he pulled from my car and said just the matter of time.

Got buy you a haynes manual if you have mechanical ability and can read you can change a timing belt. There not to bad. Surely you have a buddy that would be willing to lend a hand. Two sets of eyes are always better then one set. Its a good idea to change waterpump and a few other seals while your in there. That is totally up to you.
Im getting ready to change mine on the cb9. I going to change timing belt, water pump, balance shaft seals, front main seal, dizzy o ring, valve cover gasket, oil pan gasket. I know it sounds like alot but if your already there might as well freshen up the old gaskets/seals with new ones imo
You can do it.Comment

Has anyone used ericthecarguy's video? I have the shop manual on my computer but it can be very concise for a lot of the steps.Comment

It's a very helpful video, keep the manual handy just in case you have any additional questions.Originally posted by Mishakol129Comment

I bought it and it is quite good. We are doing the belts now, it appears all of the teeth were worn off of the belt at the crank end due to oil and the age of the belt. You can bend it and the teeth with start to remove themselves from the belt.. not good.Comment

Here's a couple pictures from today. We haven't put the new belts on yet but we redid the cam seal as the recently install non oem seal was wearing funny and a new water pump. We broke that socket on the crank pulley bolt which was kind of exciting.

Mine does that all the time if I pop into N cut off the car and roll to park. Once in a while Itll do it if start it and turn it right back off. Ill hear the fuel pump whine, D4 blinks (forgot the code, but i think it was 14) the car will sound like it wants to start but wont, some random time ill get it to fire and have to rev it up.. I just pull the ECU fuse for 30 seconds and it starts up like normal. 99 out of a 100 times it starts up fine, two starter chirps and we got fire.

Sorry guys, I meant to say the D4 light went away except when it should be on. Thanks for the help though

So have you checked to see whats leaking? Is it oil or coolant? Both?Originally posted by Mishakol129Comment

I honestly couldn't tell what it was. It was not just oil. It seems to have reduced to about 1 drop after driving so I am wondering if it was just some engine degreaser or something that was on the block.Originally posted by dj_ender View PostComment

Well any leak that is coming from under the timing cover would get worse while driving, so sounds like you could be right. Have you checked your fluid levels lately?Originally posted by Mishakol129Comment

Oil was getting lower but that should have been the old cam seal not wearing right. I try to check it once every week.Originally posted by dj_ender View Post
Water/coolant levels are good as we just did the water pump so that needed to be done.
Brake and power steering levels were good last week. Sounds like everything is good?Comment
