How to change your timing belt | 5th gen Honda prelude ultimate guide

[@dolceamore4065]

After u lower ur engine block then remove the lower timing cover by turning the cover to 10 or 11 o'clock then it will come out that way

[@preludeboy99]

Is this a question or are a statement?

[@dolceamore4065]

That's how u remove it..

[@preludeboy99]

@@dolceamore4065 thank you so much!!! Nobody in the forum knew that or told me to do that. I will pin this so people can see it.

[@kevinwilks9403]

I don't know what details you missed. I've done enough work to get confident trying this after watching you do it. Here's a simple "thank you". 😄

[@preludeboy99]

Let me know how it goes!

This has to be the best H22 TB guide on YT. Bravo.

[@preludeboy99]

Thank you I worked really hard to make this guide

[@muttonhead7739]

@@preludeboy99 You're welcome, brother. I'm in the middle of doing my TB right now. My crank pulley walked off just before Christmas. Gonna change all the oil seals on that side while I'm in there.

Congratulations! Watching your video reminded me of the pains and frustrations I experienced when I replaced my timing belt on my 1985 Prelude Si . It took me a long time , stressful because I’m afraid of messing up and ruining my engine, but overall It turned out well , i watched many videos over and over so as to get comfortable doing it. Good luck to you!

I’m about to get a new lude today and I figure I’m gonna want to do this! Thanks man

[@davidg3044]

Hey man, you already have my respect. I wish I had time to watch the whole video now but I have to come back later. I just wanted to say thank you for making it, the Prelude doesn't get a lot of love, but it's a fantastic vehicle and I've had several. I'm about to do my timing belt for the third time on my current Prelude and a little refresher is always super helpful! I can't wait to watch, and I'll try and chime in with anything I think may be helpful! God bless!

[@preludeboy99]

Thank you for the kind words man. It’s very hard to get recognition or to get a simple “thank you” on this platform. I really try hard to put effort and I’m learning to make more for the audience and what they want.

Hey,just want to say that you did a great job creating this video, it's one of the better video's I've seen on this topic. How you presented everything was on point and accurate which is impressive since it was your first time doing this job, shows you took the time to do some research. Just so you know every body who has done the timing belt with the engine still in had difficulty removing the front cover their first time lol. There are a few minor things that can be done to make the job a bit easier but all in all you covered it well. One thing I recommend is to use some blue loctite on the crankshaft pulley bolt when installing it and make sure it is torqued to 181 foot pounds. If that bolt comes loose it will wear down the pulley , gears and crankshaft causing the pulley to wobble permanentley.👍

[@preludeboy99]

Honestly this took me a long time to make. I think I could’ve done it better. I regret doing it wrong the first time and breaking the timing cover. I regret not putting the cam seals on wrong the first time to and having to redo it. I made a lot of mistakes that I didn’t show in the video. But I’m glad you think it’s good because you sound like you have more experience than me. So hearing that from you really made my day. Thank you so much

[@BiteTheBulletUK]

Great video, you can tell that a lot of work into making it.

[@tx88mx6gt]

Thanks for ur time to make this video.

[@preludeboy99]

I hope it helps. lmk if you’re having any problems if you decided to go thru it

[@matthewbim10]

Very thorough! Could have mentioned balance shaft delete or manual tensioner upgrades since you would have the engine apart.

[@preludeboy99]

I didn't do that, I would've mentioned it if I did it and personally I didn't want to mess with the car anymore than I did haha.

[@preludeboy99]

I worked extremely hard to get this video out, I apologize if I missed some stuff or if some things were confusing. Something I forgot to mention was pulling the spark plugs out, it helps rotate the crankshaft easier.

[@RaulRamirez-b9u]

I’ve tried all of them I get to turn on I always do but it just keeps skipping the timing idk why

[@Z71-o5x]

Hi, great video!! Very informative! What is the service book that you're using? Part number?

[@preludeboy99]

Just look up 5th gen Honda prelude helms manual.

[@danchristian7282]

I have a question.. I keep seeing the crankshaft keyway indent around the 9 o clock position, shouldn’t it be at 12 o clock to be at tdc when the timing belt comes off? Awesome video thanks for posting it!

[@preludeboy99]

Yes it should be; and it was when I was flinging this. There are multiple ways to check if the crank is at TDC. But ultimately you want it on the TDC mark on the block.

[@winung4334]

my honda prelude affer change a timing belt make hissing noise from inside timing belt cover when car at idle

[@preludeboy99]

It could be the tensioners. For the drive belt. I am hearing a hissing as well after changing mine and I don’t think it’s damaging anything or a sign of something wrong.

[@nhoegil7070]

Can’t you just put the tdc from transmission marks?

[@preludeboy99]

Not at the transmission but at the fly wheel, which is connected to the transmission. There are timing marks on the fly wheel that can only be seen through a maintenance hole on the block.

@@preludeboy99I got it Bro 😎thank you thank you 🙏

[@m0rtal_hax]

Those are some crazy CV shafts you got on there, as well as your exhaust system, any boosted applications? And your quality of video is INSANE, including the fact that you wear white sneakers when working on vehicles 🎌🦾

[@preludeboy99]

no lol, this car is stock performance wise. Thanks for watching!
