1994-02 Honda Accord 2.2, 2.3 timing belt replacement

Great video man. Really enjoyable and informative. Wish I had your experience. I have an 01 accord with an F23a1 that has 280k miles and could use some attention to the leaking rear main seal and some likely leaks on the front side of the motor that are cost prohibitive to have a garage repair them. Nonetheless, videos such as yours help further the understanding of those that have no background in auto repair and a great place to learn.

[@williamtozer]

Can't thank you enough for this video. I just finsished changing the timing belt and water pump on a 2000 Accord. It took me a long time as I had back track a few missed steps, misplaced a bolt or two and stripped one of the water pump bolts. Not sure I would have gotten it done without this video and some other helpful ones I found. As for the repair of the M6-1 bolt, I was able to use a helicoil kit. It took me the better part of a day just for this repair since there was very little space to work in.

I was referring to a more structured environment, like a trade school. Young people are really in need of mentors they can relate to.

[@RustBeltAuto]

@@frankamellin5577 school is for tools. It is time, and money waisted. Most of everything you will need to know is in the field. A lot of people don't have what it takes. A certain mindset is crucial. School will take your money, whether you have the aptitude, or not. A good mentor will know if you need to be doing something else.

I have the Non vtec 2.2l 95 Accord wagon 195,000. I had to send it into the shop for no start issue (no time to sus it out). "That fuel pump was definitely bad, I put power to it. But it still has that hesitation on start up tho."🤷🏻‍♂️ Me: (WTH?🤔) Week later wouldnt start again, poked around for a few days-tune up (needed it), Main relay-nada. Then, paper clipped the odb no flashes on the CEL=DEAD COMPUTER!! Im no mechanic but, I didnt charge myself $450 for a fuel pump I didnt need either!!

Great video. Had this ragged accord for 10 years, have torn into this 3 times. There are 2 holes in the balance shaft I didn't get it right with the bolt, thanks for the marks the Mr. Hayney manual didn't show. It ran fine with the balance out but seems to play havoc with the shift points for some reason.

I have a question or two do you cut the pointer off the bottom cover for the harmonic balance or because you seem to slip that cover right in there with no problem where mine was nearly breaking the cover to get it in. Second question did everything correct? Everything’s lined up perfectly balance shafts are perfect but I’m still getting a winding sound and some type of noise seems like it’s coming Through the valve cover like some sort of groaning sound. Could my belt be too tight.
