What they said.

[@Shellshock361]

I recommend putting the waterpump on then adding coolant to the radiator to see if it is leaking before finishing everything then adding coolant. Will save a lot of time, I learned the hard way..

[@Elcopaneco1005]

Me paso a mi toco doble trabajo

[@NganNguyen-m4u3q]

How is this possible? You would need to get the car running and the temperature up for the coolant to cycle through the water pump to see if it leaks but all this you took out tons of components to get to the water pump and timing belt. Am I missing something here?

Yeah, that's the hard part though. Doing this in an Odyssey with 3 inches of clearance absolutely sucks.

[@simpleman806]

I changed the timing belt and water pump on my Saturn vue yesterday. It uses the Honda 3.5L engine. Took me 5hrs to do it, engine was in the vehicle. Hardest part was getting the belt on. Had to back off the tensioner a bit to slip the belt over it. Then tightened it back up. All I was using was ratchets as well. I saved around $400 by doing it myself. But I didn't think that it taking 5hrs was too bad, considering I have rheumatoid arthritis. My body is sore and I'll be feeling it for a few days, but I didn't have to spend money for a mechanic to do it

[@franklinpowell7770]

Thanks for sharing! I was way more comfortable in changing my timing belt after watching your video, especially seeing how easy it was to align and check the alignment

[@Wanli_Zhang_Arts_Channel]

Great video, as are all your vids! I have two things to point out, however. One: mark on the old belt the timing marks of the two cams and the crank and then transfer them to the new belt. Without those markings, an amateur could very easily find himself with a one-tooth off situation after he installed the belt and rotated the crank twice. The gotcha here is that there is slack between the crank and the two cams. The amateur didn't know. He thought that there was no slack, as the belt seemed taut enough to him, but there was! A pro mechanic does not have to make any markings. He has done so many. He just knows by the feel and the experience. Pointing this out is EXTREMELY important, as most people watching or wanting to watch tutorials like this are amateurs. If they marked the timing marks on the crank and the two cams and transferred them to the new belt correctly--the teeth between the three marks are the same between old and new belts, it is almost guaranteed that they will get the timing correct on first try. Without this tip, they could easily find themselves in a one-tooth off situation, even though they had set the crank and the two cams at TDC before they rotated the crank twice. Two: finger tighten the idler pulley and the tensioner pulley bolts first before you have installed the belt. I've heard reports that if you torque down the two bolts first, you might have trouble putting the belt on. After you have put the belt on, then torque the two bolts to specs. Otherwise, great video! I learned a lot from your vids! Keep up with the good work!

Thanks for your video 👍 I’ll be performing this task soon on the wifey’s 06 Odyssey. Our mechanic who usually does this work for us has retired and moved out of state. So, I’ll be doing this on my own since he’s the only mechanic I’ve have ever trusted working on our vehicles for the last 20 years. The new guy who bought his shop reminds me of a used car salesman who would nickel and dime to death. I have the tools and some knowledge, but never replaced a timing belt on a six cylinder. With your video and and a Haynes book for reference, I’m confident that I’ll be able to perform this task 🙏

[@Three1Fo]

Hola Big Cat! How did you fare? I’d like to try this on our ‘06 Touring. The video says the Odyssey TB/WP would be in the description section, but I don’t see it. Is the job identical to this procedure except with only one cam sprocket? Did you run into any issues?

[@glasser2819]

Thank you for the C-clamp trick to compress the tensioner. Very useful when the belt alignment needs rework. Best practice is to replace complete job kit as all these OEM parts have a limited life! TIP: Consider doing the "oil pump reseal" while main timing gear is out because engine oil pump will start leaking before 120kMi. It's basically the timing belt labor + oil pan labor cheap $20 oil seals. 👍

[@mikeb5267]

@@silversurfer702 it rotated that far due to compression in the cylinders. I moved it a little bit and then it jumped due to the compression stroke. And yes, I rotated it back by hand, no damage was done. However, after the job I found out that they have devices called cam grapplers that will keep that from happening so you can rotate it in smaller increments and get it lined up right. Unfortunately, mine lasted a few months after repair and then the belt completely snapped and the engine was ruined.

I wish I had seen this video before I changed the timing belt on our 2006 Pilot. I'll be sure to refresh my memory with this one when I have to do it again.

[@andyf8503]

Great video! A few tips based on situations I've encountered: 1. A spark plug replacement is usually done at the same time. Leave them out until after the timing belt is done to make the engine easier to turn manually. It's also easier to feel problems. 2. Before rotating the engine manually after installing the belt, check the timing marks. If the rear cam has jumped a few teeth (which is common), remove the belt from the cam and move the cam back to the correct position using the bolt. It only needs to be moved a few teeth unless it has been accidentally rotated too. 3. Even with the special socket, the crank pulley bolt often requires a 1/2 inch or larger impact gun with around 1000 foot pounds of removal torque. My older 650 ft lbs pneumatic wouldn't budge it, even at 120 psi. (Of course there are other other non-impact tool options too.)

[@josemalinao1308]

I used the Ingersoll Rand weighted socket paired with a Nitrocat 1200k and haven't encountered a crank bolt thats hard to remove (yet) and I've done 5 timing belts on D and B series engines. But maybe J series is torqued a little higher? Idk but I think the Ingersoll Rand weighted socket is worth the investment even for the price especially if you're a Honda technician.

[@jcontradiction]

if one of the cams jumped a few teeth how would you correct that? Do you rotate by hand? can you rotate it in either direction(cw or ccw)?

I have already purchased a tool that locks the cam sprocket to prevent moving. I'm thinking now that I should have bought two of them.

[@MrRangerZr1]

It will be easier but there will still be some resistance from the valve train so it wont be super loose. Don't overthink it or else it'll jump on you lol Just check the timing marks multiple times after you're done and you're good to go

Best video ever! Doing mine today😅

[@lawrencegooden8359]

Question: can the hydraulic tensioner bolts be removed (2:22) without removing the lower cover?

[@MrRangerZr1]

Yes but if you need to replace the tensioner best to have the covers off.

[@toaa4503]

What if the woodruff key fell out and you turned the crank without the cam turning?

[@alaal-badran7401]

GREAT JOB, but will it be that easy when the engine is still on the car? One question will the engine fall down when the engine mount bracket to be removed? Where is the best location for you as an expert for supporting it from falling?

[@MrRangerZr1]

Yes. Once you watch this entire video you can do it in any chassis. Motor will not fall as the other mounts are holding it to some degree, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't support the engine. Support the engine from the oil pan.

Calidad de video nada de estar hablando me gusto esta clase de mecánica saludos 🇭🇳🇭🇳🇭🇳🇭🇳🇭🇳

Great video and thank you for the links. I bought the kit. I would not recommend anyone to reuse the tensioner. The one on my Honda pilot doesn’t not have good tension anymore and my belt is loose. Luckily i catch it on time before it came off.

Is the oil pump housing on the inside of the timing belt cover? The gaskets in oil pump housing are leaking. It's like $800 in labor and $20 in parts. Is this pump near the timing belt?

[@MrRangerZr1]

yes it's in this vicinity

[@africa.fs.0719]

Excellent, as always Mr ranger!

[@tmph1814]

Awesome, it captures the job perfectly👏👍

At 4:39 suppose someone's spun the left cam sprocket one turn in either direction and then put a new belt on. Would I be able to rotate the engine by the crank

[@MrRangerZr1]

no

[@billkincer4256]

@@MrRangerZr1 it must be okay then because I did crank it over a few times by hand with no problem. Thanks for your reply

[@stacyshuffler7581]

MrRangerZr1 you mentioned the Tensioner & Idler Pulley bolts were torque to yield and should be replaced. When you gave the torque specs in the video you did include the "Degree of Yield". Do you have this data?

[@MrRangerZr1]

Shop manual just said to replace the bolts and torque them down to proper specs

[@gabepim3496]

Now this video I enjoyed very much watching.Hands down the best and no words said ...luv itttt

[@billyramirez1318]

Thanks for the clear concise videos. What are the little rotating covers (rubber cover) on the upper belt covers for?

[@MrRangerZr1]

Window so you can see the cylinder numbers on the pulleys

[@nathanewing1978]

Great job! video was a lot of help getting the job done!
