How to change a timing belt on a integra (b18)

[@SamOperchuck]

Three years later and this tutorial is still great. Awesome work.

[@RevHighDriveHappy]

Thank you

[@vanquishstorm3806]

Nice vid. Just a helpful tip, on B18B1 (non vtec) engines, when both camgears are at TDC, directly behind the cam gears above the camshaft ends you will see a small machined hole above the camshaft ends, if the camgears are positioned at true TDC since the camshaft ends also have a machined hole, both holes will match up directly in line with each other so then you can just insert a drill bit etc. at the appropriate size to hold the cam gears at TDC. To remove the drill bits you simply move the camshaft with a crescent wrench since those camshafts have a designated area to mount the crescent wrench. At 7:22MIN you can see the circular holes behind the camgears. Hope this hepls.

[@RevHighDriveHappy]

Last Life thanks for the tip… do you know if aftermarket cams also have those holes?

[@vanquishstorm3806]

@@RevHighDriveHappy Glad I could help. I'm not sure if aftermarket camshafts have the same holes.

[@hecks_k20_fa5]

@@RevHighDriveHappy Yes aftermarket cams have the holes too,if there non-vtec cams! I have Crower 404's cams for my B18b1 and they have the holes.👍🏾

[@RevHighDriveHappy]

@@hecks_k20_fa5 thanks I have bc racing stage 2 now

[@Indicafatbud]

the two wrenches on the cams and the clamp was next level. good shit.

[@danielstephens4420]

You know right behind the cam gears there's actually a place to put a 5 mm Punch or allen wrench to hold the cam gears? Then you don't need to put the wrenches on there like that

[@RevHighDriveHappy]

I learned that a little later but thanks for the heads up

[@1uniquemind]

Your videos are truly motivating brother. I think this is the first time I've seen someone do all of that with the motor still in the car. That in itself was impressive. Great job!!! Keep them coming my friend.

[@RevHighDriveHappy]

unique_integra_owner thank you.... I truly appreciate it. I’m going to do my beat keeping the videos coming weekly but it may slow down a bit because winter is coming

[@1uniquemind]

@@RevHighDriveHappy, I notice you live in Maryland. I'm in Va so I know about this bipolar East Coast weather. I want to ask you a question. How do keep finding the Integras brother? I crashed my dc2 last year and I have been looking for a replacement shell but the pickings are slim here in Va. Are they that plentiful in your neck of the woods?

[@RevHighDriveHappy]

unique_integra_owner you just have to wait it out and one will pop up. There is a shell now used to mitonfilms old car with a jdm front and suspension for $1000 right not... but there are a few more floating around maybe use Facebook market and change the area to around fifty miles from Baltimore a good amount will pop up..... if not send me a message on IG or fb and I can try and help you

[@1uniquemind]

@@RevHighDriveHappy, thanks brother. Sounds like a plan.

that idle hunting didn't seem normal, but at least nothing is knocking

This tutorial is a literal lifesaver

[@adinstagel8422]

When you need to hold those cam gears in place use that tool to keep them from moving whether it’s taking the bolts out or sliding your belt on that tool will hold it In place.

Great video. I have a b18c honda motor im working on. I was changing the belt and installing a aftermarket harmonic balancer on the gearshaft. I didn’t have a problem lining up the cams, however, as i was installing the harmonic balancer, With the belt removed, I believe I may have moved the TDC of the main crankshaft off of its center. I cannot view the marks of the main crank because the aftermarket harmonic balancer now covers it and its far too difficult to remove now. I was planning on putting a stick in the spark plug hole to find dead center as it raises up upon moving the crankshaft, but I was concerned that the valves would be affected, so i removed the cams from its journals to avoid any valves from being bent and now im planning on turning the crankshaft (counter clockwise) measuring TDC of the camshaft in order to get it TDC. Question - Am I correct to assume that it’s important to get my maincrankshaft on TDC ? And if so, am I doing it correctly? Thanks. Any help is appreciated.

[@erickpena3673]

Amazing video bro thank you for the tips and tricks

[@jcwick0859]

this job kicked my ass changed out my water pump but trying to put the belt back on was rough... i have a gsr vtec tho this one maybe diffrent u seem to have put it on with ease...

[@RevHighDriveHappy]

It’s pretty much the same process for a VTEC motor

[@facehunt2]

Nice car in general thank for the video

[@RevHighDriveHappy]

@@facehunt2 no problem

[@patrickwilt3125]

Thank you bro, this made the job a breeze. 👍

[@RevHighDriveHappy]

No problem

[@oscarcrx-9099]

Quick question is there 2 woodruff keys ? One on the timing belt gear ⚙️ and one in the accessory pulley ?

[@RevHighDriveHappy]

Oscar CRX-90 one on each cam gear and one on the crank pulley

[@facehunt2]

Sick gauges

[@porternorwich]

Heck of a vid man. Keep it up.

[@indikabamunuarachchi8684]

There are 2 holes where you can put 5/32 allen keys to lock cams. Located next to I1 E1 markings.

[@leontucker876]

@Frederick Jamal thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and Im trying it out atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

@Frederick Jamal It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy:D Thanks so much you saved my account !

@Leon Tucker no problem :D

[@flowlikeg1389]

How do I stop the crank pulley bolt with automatic mines keeps moving even with a impact wrench.Im not trying to mess up the harmonic balancer just trying to get it off so I can follow the rest of the video

[@RevHighDriveHappy]

Impact guns are the best for removing the crank bolt if not you can get one of these from Autozone www.amazon.com/Powerbuilt-648796-Cranks-Pulley-Removal/dp/B0000TMLWQ

[@jbr3rd]

Better than the tool RevHighDrive Happy recommends, get one of these fat/heavy 19mm sockets, use on air impact gun and rest assured the crank bolt is coming loose unless it's stripped inside. amzn.to/3yan5Hj

[@thrasherc9647]

haha helpful video you had me laughing at the end you where shaking like it was -20 outside

[@gsrturbo3786]

Which way do the little humps on the washers go I believe they go towards oil pump.

[@maxboost4042]

Good work like always brother keep it up.

[@bambooshama]

What model impact gun is that? Mine is a dewalt atomic and it won’t break the 19mm loose. Thanks

[@RevHighDriveHappy]

They sell a weighted 19 mm socket it makes it way easier to takeoff but that was a Milwaukee

[@jbr3rd]

Try one of these 19mm harmonic balancer sockets special made for Honda B series motors. It’s like a steroid-hefty mutha impact socket. It will break that crank bolt loose in a jiffy. amzn.to/3DPVuP8

[@Indicafatbud]

if your doing the timing belt you should throw in a new crank shaft seal

[@RevHighDriveHappy]

Indicafatbud it’s want leaking but I’m planning on putting cams in the car soon so I’ll do it when I have to put the car in time again

[@CorleoneTone]

So after I put the belt on and the crank and cams are tdc, I have to rotate the cams counterclockwise?

[@RevHighDriveHappy]

GrannMastaGerms yes just 3 teeth and then tighten the tensioner then rotate the engine a few times and make sure everything lines up to top dead center

[@G_TheCursedMan]

My timing belt just snapped should I find the cause of the timing belt snap or fix the timing belt tho?

[@RevHighDriveHappy]

More then likely the belt snapped from being worn… if your lucky you can just replace the belt if your need you may need new valves

[@G_TheCursedMan]

@@RevHighDriveHappy shit my motor is pretty old too and the belt lol but it's been having some problems already like low compression and a knock sensor cel but u don't hear the knocking yet but cel code for knock sensor is on

[@pedro_flowerss]

So after the belt is on and timed, do you remove the crank pull bolt and then enter the small key and the pulley ? That won’t mess up the timing ? I’m trying to do my timing right now.

[@danielstephens4420]

Man I can tell you from looking at the old belt when it's at top dead center... Whoever put the previous belt on left it about one or two teeth too loose between the cam gears it's definitely not supposed to have that much slack unless it just stretched out really bad. It's supposed to be pretty tight across the top

[@RevHighDriveHappy]

Yeah that was the original timing belt

[@markbernil9656]

i have a question sir regarding in the timing belt brand it is ok,??to ise that brand?thank you

[@RevHighDriveHappy]

Duralast/dayCo is a pretty decent brand the reason I’m using it is because AutoZone offers a lifetime warranty on the water pump and timing belt kit so once a year I just change everything out and it doesn’t cost me a thing after I bought the first time

Do not tighten the tensioner with an impact gun I just did watching this video now I have a bolt lodged in my block n Iam about to just sell everything now

[@jaycris1980]

Thats why i always say never buy a Honda without knowing how to do this.

[@danielstephens4420]

It'll probably run good for a while but I'm not really sure man? I've done about 50 of these and that belt looks really loose when you had it there in the video on the top. I mean you got everything lined up and it'll probably run for a little while I just don't know with it being that loose if it's going to go 100,000 miles. I mean these belts are almost really hard to put on there so tight to get across those two cam gears I've just never seen it that loose on the top like that

yo mr rev is a way can send u video of my issue with cams that i have the are aem true time but my originals cams are 35 tooth this are 39 but a saw a video that install the in a gsr mi is ls iam crazy thanks if u received this u d man right now on integras bro
