Timing Belt, Water Pump, Pulley & Seals Replacement - Honda Civic (2002-2005)-GMB Belt Kit

I think god sent this man for every Honda owner, thank you sir.

[@hardlymovingpro]

Thanks! 😍

[@chrisfisichella6659]

You did an excellent job. Thank you for not going too fast and for zooming in. I liked how the engine was clean. Mine is not clean at all and the fasteners are obscured. Your video was very helpful.

[@hardlymovingpro]

Thanks! Recommend before doing the job, cover the alternator with aluminum foil and use aerosol brake clean spray solvent with compressed air to remove excess oil and grease build up. If no compressed air available, use water soluble engine cleaner with high pressure water hose. Both products available at Walmart's automotive department.

A very educational video.. It would be great for the beginners...etc. Suggestions..to help the not so learned mechanics.... Would help if you identify the tools you are using in a slower manner so we could catch it as you use it.. Hard to catch them as the video runs so fast. Should one use Honda parts? Some you tubers like ETCG said only to use Honda parts Just wondering.. Enjoy the video but do not have the tools to tackle it outright. Thanks again for a great job.

[@hardlymovingpro]

Thanks for your post and comments! Most or all of the tools I used is in the "Show More" section of the video. Honda, Toyota, Nissan ... etc., don't make these parts. They outsource it all and relabel it to their company name. Mitsuboshi and Bando make belts, GMB and Koyo make bearings, Denso and NGK make mostly electrical components, KYB and Tokico make suspension components, Aisin make almost everything (i.e. transmissions), Akebono make brakes ... see where I'm going? Everything is outsourced.

too bad not a chain but then can see point with seals needing change, so what about chains06+,,,seals go so more funthan this? What is cost of this job on 05s?

[@hardlymovingpro]

Problem with timing chain engines are: 1. Time chain cover RTV sealant brakes down and causes leaks. Requires a reseal which is time consuming. 2. Let the engine oil level drop too much and you have premature chain and guide wear if not piston journal wear. 3X time involved to replace vs a belt drive. 3. Only seal that might need replacement is the crankshaft seal which is seated in the chain cover ... easy replacement.

[@gdsstudio974]

Great video. Question. If the crank seal is seated below the face of the cover, will that create a problem, or is it critical to keep it flush with the face of the cover? I noticed an oil passage at the back of the OD for the seal at the 6 o'clock position. I have a feeling if the seal is driven in too far, it will be blocked? Thanks for your help.

[@hardlymovingpro]

Thanks! Not critical to keep the seal flush with the cover. Also the seal shouldn't go in that much pass the cover.

[@rimonramis8813]

Liked the idea of not de attaching 12v feed cable and connector for the alternator it's just such a pain to disconnect it safely with out damage

[@troy78552]

Thanks for the video , I have a important question ? How do you troubleshoot a crankshaft pulley that is not aligned with all pulleys on a 2014 Honda Civic ex 1.8

[@hardlymovingpro]

I have no idea.

[@michaelnoone1565]

I think this covers the 2001 civic as well right? 7th gen civic is 2001-2005. One question: why do you replace the water pump and the tensioner at the same time? Are those wear items that need to be replaced on the same interval as the timing belt?

[@hardlymovingpro]

I think you're right about the 7th generation using the same engine. The service interval on the belt is around 100k miles. I always replace the water pump and tensioner because I seriously doubt they'll last another 100k miles; and the last thing you need to address is a seized or leaking water pump 20 or 30k miles later.

[@The_R-n-I_Guy]

How similar/different is the Non-V-Tech 1.7? I need to do all of this on my 05 civic lx 1.7

[@hardlymovingpro]

Hadn't worked on the 1.7 so I can't say. I'd assume similar.

[@bethzarin6439]

Can the timing belt be overtightened accidentally or was it a bad bearings or what? Because I got my timing belt, water pump and tensioner replaced on the auto repair shop at the same time, cam seals there are two of them were also replaced. because I just bought my civic 2005 3 months ago and not sure if the belt is replaced before So I think it's a good thing to have it replaced. The car runs smooth before the whole replacement scenario. But now, when car is in idle, it sounds normal but not as normal as it sounds before I got my engine timing belt area opened up. Now when you push the accelerator, you can hear a grinding noise in that timing belt-engine area. The sound is not squeaking sound, not a clunking or whatsoever but it was a grinding sound or a sound of a tight stuff being forced to move or turn something like that. I have no chance to go back to the shop since I moved to a new place days after. But the car's engine sound got worse now. Before replacing these parts, my car engine is silent and runs smooth no other issue whatsoever. I noticed the changes when I drove home from the shop, but I was thinking it's normal part of breaking in process, but days and months past it didn't go away. So I'm worried.

[@bethzarin6439]

My car is a honda civic 2005, manual transmission. the issue is the grinding like sound after the whole timing belt, water pump, tensioner replacement.

Hi, just watching ya vid, awesome job, quick question, how difficult is this job if my cambelt/upper timing belt has snapped, as mine snapped yesterday, my dad due to health is not able to help me, do u know if these engines are safe, or will I find bent valves etc, mine is a civic 2004, 1.6s ep2, seems a very similar set up, thanks in advance and hope to hear from you,

[@hardlymovingpro]

I've replaced belts that snapped in interference engines with success. So worth the shot replacing the belt. Valves bending depends on the rpm's of the engine when the belt snapped. Just align the cam and crank timing marks like you were doing a normal belt replacement.

[@timbecks81]

Unsure if my timing belt is tight enough, spring doesn't seem that strong... I was told there is a twist test if you twist it 90 degrees/half a twist then that is fine... anymore than half a twist and it is too loose... does that sound correct?

[@hardlymovingpro]

Twist test only for the accessory belt ... not the timing belt. Best to rotate the engine a couple of times to remove any slack then tighten the tensioner pulley.

I used the extractor tool, paint can opener tool, and even a flathead to collapse the seal. Eventually I got it but I was so scared.

Hello. The colour of the coolant looks like IAT...shouldn't it be HOAT coolant? That would save the aluminum and the water pump in the long run. Correct me if im wrong though. Great job BTW

[@hardlymovingpro]

HOAT (hybrid organic acid technology) is used in European cars where there's high mineral content hard water. The universal coolant is OAT. And when mixed with distilled water eliminates hard water corrosion issues.

[@daltonlucas5529]

I don’t get why it matters where exactly you attach your timing belt at. As long as the cam and crankshaft are TDC, isn’t that all that matters? You should be able to put your belt on any which way… and since the cam and crank are aligned the belt will rotate them in sync… or am I missing something?

[@hardlymovingpro]

Technically you are correct. But for 1st time installers, using paint marks raises their confidence that the install was done correctly.

[@daltonlucas5529]

@@hardlymovingpro ok good. I was scared cuz I’m doing my timing belt and I didn’t mark it on the belt before I took the belt off. So, if I make sure the camshaft and crankshaft pulleys are TDC before I put the new belt on, I’ll be good to go? I have the head off, so TDC for the crankshaft pulley is basically the highest point for piston 1, right?

That's correct. May want to advance the cam one cog to ease belt installation. Then set it back after the install to check alignment with no slack on the belt.
