KB1:How to Replace Timing Belt & Water Pump on an Acura RL

[@kempshill6974]

Wow, thought I was the only one still crazy about my RL.

[@dj_d.r.a.e.]

You’re not alone

[@Sergio_Mitnikoff]

Mee too😊

[@DivineSadist]

Shoot, just got mine last December 2023, 2008 KB1, 50k miles. So great to see all the high mileage examples still running strong, they are awesome machines 👍

[@johnsisavath]

Thanks for making RL content. It's not many that's out there. I got an 06 w/ 175k miles 🤞🏼my first time doing water pump and timing service.

[@dj_d.r.a.e.]

It’s my pleasure man, I make these videos for guys like us. My 05 RL has 293k

[@johnsisavath]

I can't seem to get my crank pulley bolt off I tried hella times but it won't loosen battery may not be strong enough. Is there another way with a weak battery?

[@johnsisavath]

@@dj_d.r.a.e. do you know another method?

[@dj_d.r.a.e.]

@@johnsisavath use the Honda crank pulley holder method. That worked for me today on a k24 accord

[@johnsisavath]

​bro thank you so much I'm such a noob to this. Picking up that tool now. Once again showing u love from Las Vegas brutha!

[@josephcarrasco649]

Handling it next week. Always appreciate it, Dr.RL

[@dj_d.r.a.e.]

Always here to help

[@lastkingjohnson3564]

Great content awesome work on the RL looking forward to future work

[@dj_d.r.a.e.]

Thank you kindly, I too look forward to bringing more and more content.

[@notbanksy8294]

What interval? Every 100K? Curious to know how you do the dif oil change. I've only found a couple videos on here of people doin that. Not a lot of repair videos on this car in general, would like to see more. Stay up Kb1Gang.

[@dj_d.r.a.e.]

Yes every 100k is ideal, and I’ll for sure make a differential fluid change video. Thank you for your support

[@MrSamPhoenix]

Great video man!

[@dj_d.r.a.e.]

Thank you I appreciate your feedback

[@MrRayray1371]

Came thru with this video I appreciate this my little brother shit just went out 😅

[@dj_d.r.a.e.]

Glad I could help bro

[@ianariyoshi2712]

I wasn’t able to get my cover off without having to take a bunch of stuff out in order to see/have enough room to get the bolt out.

[@hi-line.rail.productions]

Great video, thank you so much!

[@jgcruisers]

what was the mileage of the motor at the time of the belt and water pump change>? thanx

[@dj_d.r.a.e.]

It’s routine to do so every 100,000 miles. This car was around 155k miles

[@Lokstock220]

I recently had this done to my 08', however the mechanic didn't put in the oil seals (91213-r70-a01 and 91212-r70-a01) as I still have them in the box. Should I worry?

[@dj_d.r.a.e.]

It’s only a worry if you were already leaking at the front main seal

[@aogotthesauce]

Hey question: I also have an 08, and I’m watching this video because I have knocking under my hood and I’m thinking it’s my timing belt. Did u hear the same thing which led to u changing the belt? Just wondering because I’d love to know which direction to go in. Thanks!

[@octaviandavis7088]

I was watching your video while doing my water pump and timing belt and wanted to cam. Shaz fell out of DDC. Can I get it back to top dead center without any issues?

[@dj_d.r.a.e.]

Yes happens all the time, just turn that can by itself

[@DigitalLoom]

great video where are you located?

[@dj_d.r.a.e.]

Thank you, located in Connecticut

[@Eharmonicz]

Where do u jack to support the engine block? Is the oil drain pan ok?

[@dj_d.r.a.e.]

Oil pan

[@Eharmonicz]

@@dj_d.r.a.e.subbed ! Keep the rl vids up. Hardly info on rl!!

[@chalk_jr]

Thank You!

[@djnbeatz1]

How long did this take you?

[@dj_d.r.a.e.]

Amy first time it took about 5 hours. But I’ve done it so many times now I can do it in 2

[@edwardmakasakit3283]

Sup bruda I have 2008 RL silver. Where did you get your rain visor. I've been looking for them. Can you tell me where you got yours and how much. Thanks 🙏

[@dj_d.r.a.e.]

Dm me on Instagram @dj_jimmydrae

[@erickbell4818]

How much would you charge to that??? I have an 06 with 130k

[@dj_d.r.a.e.]

$1,200 with the parts included

[@triggamant411]

I need this done. ​@@dj_d.r.a.e.

[@clack185]

Ik its been a while but I was wondering two things. 1 What timing belt/ water pump kit did you use? (Only 6 minutes into the video so sorry if u already answered that). 2. I'm thinking about getting the Aisin kit but I'm a little skeptical and would prefer to just go OEM if not for the price, what have u heard about that kit if anything? And 3. Where did u get that A-spec bumper from?

[@dj_d.r.a.e.]

Aisin is the oem kit

[@Big_Slick]

Thanks for the vid, really helpful. My KB1 just passed 200k yesterday and I just ordered everything to do the same service. I was curious about that little trick you did to break the crank loose. Is that sketchy? Seems like the ratchet might slip or strip the bolt. And did you just flick the key or did you hold it?

[@dj_d.r.a.e.]

I always use that trick, never had the issue. You want to flick the key because you don’t want the car to start.

[@dongjinlee9461]

Has your car kept original timing belt whole time until 200k? or had the timing belt been changed before 200k?

[@Big_Slick]

@@dongjinlee9461 No. I bought the car used at 150k but when I did the service I could tell it had been done before. The service reminder just came on too and I'm guessing that is set to go off every 100k miles.

[@dlowe404]

Great tutorial. 💯

[@dj_d.r.a.e.]

I’d be able to help you out. Dm me on Instagram, @dj_jimmydrae

How can I contact you?🙏🏿

[@Monkeybizness707]

Lol, i just chipped a tooth breaking the torque on my crank pulley bolt...

[@ua7pyro591]

Looks about 1 tooth off on those timing marks.

[@dj_d.r.a.e.]

Looks can be deceiving, it’s hard getting the right camera angles.
