Honda CRX B16 Swap - Part 2 - New timing belt and water pump - Make it So

[@basabra]

Looked like you didnt confirm the tension of the belt after installing the spring of the tensioner and also not rotating the crank a few times to confirm the tension afterwards?

[@MakeItSo]

You're probably right. Luckily I have not had any issues so far.

Where is The Crankshaft Sensor on This Motor? When You Take The Crankshaft Bolt Off, Which Way Does It Loosen?

[@MakeItSo]

I think the crankshaft sensors on these motors are actually a signal that comes from the distributor. I never took apart the bottom end on this motor so I don't have experience with the crankshaft bolt.

[@Iseekoutthetruth]

@@MakeItSo when you took off the pulley, which way does that nut turn to come off?

[@MakeItSo]

@@Iseekoutthetruth Lefty loosey, just like all the others.

[@Iseekoutthetruth]

@@MakeItSo ok thanks.

[@dutchcculture]

Nice video! Is that a B16a1 from a crx EE8?

[@MakeItSo]

That's correct! B16A OBD0 with Y1 trans from a JDM 1989 Honda CRX.

[@polygemini8066]

Where did you get the motor? Thinking of swapping my 91 crx to a b16 just not sure where to get one.

[@MakeItSo]

I got mine from a place called JDM CALIFORNIA MOTORS LLC. I'm near Los Angeles and between here and Long Beach there seems to be lots of JDM motor importers.

What camera are you using to record?And editing?

[@MakeItSo]

I use a combination of a Canon 5D Mark IV and my phone, Google Pixel 4. For editing I use DaVinci Resolve. It's free!

Are you supposed to use sealants on water pumps??

[@MakeItSo]

Every other video I watched on how to replace water pumps showed people using sealant. Seems to be working great for me so far.

[@tjittegroothof9518]

No dont use sealant it has a rubber seal that came whit your water pump

[@xikillo1997]

impressive video quality. I hope you keep uploading more videos, since I am trying the same process in my honda concerto. Do you have an instagram account about the car? Keep on like this, you will become very great

[@MakeItSo]

Thank you very much for the comment. I don't have an instagram for the car but I have filmed several more videos worth of content, just need to edit them and post in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!
