VERY (DETAILED) HONDA CIVIC TIMING BELT CHANGE/REPLACEMENT FOR ALL 1996- 2000 HONDA CIVICS

I show you how easy it is to change the Timing Belt and tensioner on this 1998 Honda Civic 1.6L. Timing belt kit (Belt, pulley & tensioner) all cost under "$55" for the parts. The procedure may be different for other vehicles but the principles are the same. The first tool you should grab is your repair manual, do your research, then attack it with no fear. Hope this helps you with your project. One day you will stand before God, make sure you get it right before you do, repent and get your life right with Jesus Christ, your soul will be required of you God Bless. Warrior 4 Christ.

This is the way a instructional video should be made. Clear, concise information no bullshit ,no extra words. Keep up the good work. A+

[@brineshrimp2223]

I am a pro mechanic for 30 years, great video, love the balloon. If it was mine I would replace the water pump, the cam and crank oil seal. The water pump is especially important if it bails and the timing belt comes off you bend the valves in the head. What you showed was detailed, fires class good stuff.

[@mikemon03]

Hands down the best D16Y7 timing belt video I've seen on KZbin. Very detailed and very instructional. Great job!!!!

[@anonymoususer5794]

Except he rotated the engine clockwise the entire time.

[@Jimjullie]

Oldschool, just really wanted to thank you so much, me and my Dad were able to finally fix this. You helped save us a ton of money. So once again thank you.

[@bihhsaywat5058]

“Right on the money”

[@cameronhurlbut7492]

Thank you to people like you who post these videos. I mean I already knew how to do this, but it still was reassuring in making life a hell of a lot easier watching this video. It's people like this that make the technical textbook talk simple. I do own this exact vehicle, and mine has 200,000 miles on it. My timing belt has NEVER been touched. Therefore, I've been planning on doing this for awhile now.

[@FernandoRodriguez-ip8mn]

Currently watching just for visual reminders as im about to break down my d16 and reassurance is everything 💪🏽🔥🔥

[@Darrengarcia84]

Very very great video I was stressing about attempting to time my Civic right but this guy definitely inspires! Great video! Thanks! God is great all the time!

[@petes_CE]

That balloon trick is ingenious.

[@oldskoolfunk71]

Thanks Peter, Got the idea from my kiddos playing with water balloons one day lol

[@shemeriahmccullough2286]

oldskool funk HEY I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE AIR BALLON TRICK DID YOU TAKE ALL THE SPARKS OUT BEFORE YOU CHECK THE AIR COMPRESS JUST WOUDERING (WIERD QUESTION) I'M CHANGING WATER PUMP TIMIN BELT ECT...JUST HERD YOUR WORDS "DON'T TAKE ANYTHING OFF B4 PERFOMING" PLEASE HOLLA BACK...... THANKS !

[@pilgrimhere652]

I'm glad you reminded to take pictures to remember where things are, to then put it back right where it was, That was a great job, Right on the money 👍, We learn a lot from you guys.

[@torirandolph4756]

I have seem a few "How to do it" videos. I am very mechanical but this guy's video is the BEST video of its kind I have ever seen. Absolutely a great instructional piece of work. The balloon trick is awesome especially when working by yourself.

[@jcoulson914]

Doing this whole video with one hand. You're awesome. I am definitely going to do my own timing belt job now. :) Thanks!

[@RussShawTV]

best video on this job for these years, another ol' mechanic here

[@parajeeper]

You obviously put a lot of effort into this video. I cannot thank you enough!

[@andrewlisenby9693]

I found your videos this morning after watching some of the other car videos on you tube. I had never seen anyone smooth the surface on a head until this morning. I get you, brother! Keep on doing what you're doing. Thanks, man!

[@Mrunal2Raw]

Thanks for the videos man. My water pump failed and blew the head gasket. I did everything from ur videos and saved a lot of money.

[@matthewstevenson1267]

Best video ive seen on this task yet. Thanks bro

[@johnkenton5157]

Thank you so much for taking the time to make a video to show others how to do this and save our money !

[@ARCstix]

thank you so much for doing this. buddies car needed this done. kit 180 dollars. garage to do it 1000 dollars. one weekend, done. Thanks for this helped big time

[@ceythehun83]

Oldskool! I did my '96 civic a few weeks ago man and your video really helped me, not least your method with putting tension on the newly replaced belt. just a quick big up from Bristol UK Southblessed - got on the grind, took it step-by-step and HANDLED IT! bless ups

[@jayk806]

man! This video was awesome. Really helped my son and I get the timing set on the engine rebuild he's doing. The balloon thing was great! We just put a balloon over the spark plug well, worked like a charm. Love your videos. Thanks again!

[@cycl0nnus]

wassup brotha!!! just letting u know i dont have much experience working on cars--except what i teach myself. after watching many civic timing videos on youtube, your attn to detail and teaching techniques have really helped me in starting my own timing belt job for a 99 civic. i was really worried about starting such a difficult job, but you really break down the job and give those like me without formal skills some direction and strength. your videos kick ass-you break it down but keep it real your videos are very inspiring!!!

[@bigdog5389]

I'm gonna be changing my timing belt kit tomorrow on my 2000 Honda Civic Dx D16y7 motor and I know these motors are counterclockwise and I've heard your not suppose to turn these motors clockwise but ever so slightly. I got lucky on this 2000 Honda with only 71,325 when I bought it and it now has 74,000 on the nose. I'm changing the timing belt because of the year it's 19 years old and I'm unsure if it ever been changed so I'm changing it. Out of every video here on youtube about changing timing belts on a Honda, I chose to watch yours because you not only show us but you talk to us step by step. God has blessed you with good hands and a teachable mouth. A lot of people like to make fast money (DRUGS) but as I can see you love to earn your money as I do. Because when you buy stuff for yourself or others you know you put in hard work for what you earned. God bless you man and keep doing what you're doing and I will post tomorrow after I do my honda and I will let you know the aftermath. One thing I saw in this video is a lot of people already put the spring on the tensioner and have to fight to put the belt on so I'm gonna do mine the same exact way.

[@TheEcho432]

Great Video! Gonna do my head gasket, timing belt and water pump all at the same time. Watched you videos and they are a great help! Thanks so much for taking the time to make these videos!

[@rewindnplay]

Phenomenal clear tutorial WITH the blessing to Christ at the end?? What an awesome dude 💪🏼

[@glennbuckland3182]

You've done agreat service for us amature mechanics. Thanks a lot! I like your teaching style.

[@oldskoolfunk71]

Thank You Glenn, Just want to give back to as many people as possible. I remember how much of a struggle it was when I first started in 91 now Its all about helping each other through the power of KZbin, keep your head up.

[@fernandoramalho3644]

[@fernandoramalho3644]

this vid is shit!! one great vide is to flat the head at home.... this vid is not consistent...(points) rotating the the engine in the wrong direction.... to confused... the balon??? bahbahhh tri a ruber chickennn

[@lostmoneygarage687]

@@fernandoramalho3644 your not very bright are you? Its exactly how it should be done besides I would have done the water pump too.

[@StephanRobinsonTalls]

I'm about to try this tomorrow. Me & my girlfriends first car & only trans. It's a 1995 Honda civic lx . . Man I truly thank you. Guy said he would do it for 35 bucks and left me hanging. I'm ready to go to automotive technology classes

[@oldskoolfunk71]

Thanks Stephan, Go get it after it! Remember this, BE FEARLESS! ATTACK IT with relentless passion brother, Keep your head solid God Bless.

[@JesusSavedNOV4]

Best timing belt instructional video on KZbin man lol wish I had seen this when I changed mine, would have helped a lot. Great job

[@TheBuge76]

Oldskool-this is hands down the best instructional video I have ever seen...because you posted this I AM gonna handle it lol...Don't be scared of none of this! Thanks a million and God bless

[@andrewtolo]

Thanks for taking the time to make this video man it was beyond helpful and very easy to understand.

[@Thebustedknuckelmodelworks]

I just found your video. Thank you so much for doing this. You are awesome like the others had said. No BS straight to the point. Great job on the video. I try to always remember that the Lord doesn't put anything in your hands you can't handle. Again thank you.

[@Trahern100]

i will be doing this one day, thanks to you I'm never scared. I'm a quick learner, and you just add confidence. Thanks!!

[@undermyconstruction]

From Spain! That's incredible! Good job, good explanation and thank you very much!!

[@pipersall6761]

Thanks for the great video! I'm getting ready to do this and wouldn't think of doing it except for your fine and careful and detailed instruction. I think I can now!

[@ntorj]

This video helped me out tremendously in successfully changing timing belt on my Civic. Thank you and God bless you!

[@MarkMinistries]

KZbin needs more videos with people like you

[@Richard-xc3cw]

I went to auto mechanic school and im still learning. u taught me a lot and I cant thank u enough. u do a good job with your vids, keep em coming. God Bless you! -Richard

[@oldskoolfunk71]

Thanks Richard. I went to Automotive School also that was 1991 & 92 + and I am still learning also lol. I dont think I want to stop learning, once you stop learning you stop growing. Keep your head up God Bless.

[@BraggenritesNetwork]

Was able to save myself about $400 by doing this myself, by following your video. Thank You

[@AdirondackNY]

great video, I just got a 98 civic and I saved this video to my auto repair favorites for when I change the timing belt. thanks for making it easy.

[@TuckerBlueTunes]

Never thought I would be so inspired from mechanic vids... haha. Thanks for the upload, I really enjoy your stuff (especially since I own a 95 civic ex)

[@GeorgeLennon100]

Very informative and straight to the point with the things that need to be done. Good job oldskool.

[@AtiCrossfireX]

The best timing belt tutor for a civic

[@ListeningAnt]

Helped me. I suggest watching this dudes video along with anyone elses instruction plus a to do list or manual. Just because everyone will have something to add that the last guy forgot. Again this helped me thank you OldSchool

[@ricardoamador8897]

Yo man I just want to say Mad respect because that looks complicated brother! I do a little here and there on my car to save money and learn. Big jobs like that I try to not mess things up. Great video man!!

[@TheNDex]

god bless you man, you save me so much money on tough jobs like this! They be charging an arm and leg for this stuff at shops..

[@leeann4574]

Thanks for making this video. Your procedure for removing the slack from the tension side of the timing belt was very helpful so far. I haven't fired it up yet but the timing marks are dead on with no binding during the manual test (turning the engine). I did have difficulty finding the torque spec for the harmonic balancer to crankshaft. 130 ft-lbs. 2000 Honda Civic, DX 1.6 L non-Vtec. SOHC. D16Yx

[@chrisayala9301]

Great video my brother I just bought a 98 civic just like that and the engine was out of timing thanks to u and ur words at the end of the video I got it done and running

[@nicparker3809]

You are the MAN!! Amazing skills and understanding. God has blessed you with a gift I believe.

[@vladsmith5537]

This video was spot on. Just busted out a timing belt swap in an afternoon. Thank you for the help. Vlad Eugene OR

[@elmasloco822]

Very helpful love the detailed/emphasised instructions!

[@36calitos]

I want to say you thank you, because I always paid other person made it for me and always I finished with an bad experience due to bad work, so because of Jesus and you today am going try to do it for myself and I know everything will be ok. I will let to know how was the result. Thank you dear bro. God bless you about everything you do it.

[@Kempmaurice]

Thanks for the video! I need to do this over the weekend and feel pretty confident about it now. It cracked me up when I saw the speaker table you had but thats just keeping things real. Thanks and God bless.

[@oldskoolfunk71]

Yeah I use whatever I got laying around no time to be critical about what I dont have, Im all about HANDLE IT lol. Befor you start your project Get in attack mode then get after it. Thanks for the comment Maurice.

[@randaljohnson6530]

Thank you for your video. Very to the point without missing important details. I so dislike videos where they skip important steps as if you're supposed to know which way something goes.

I believed that your saying put Christ first I agree.

[@johnathanbatchelor2052]

This video is awesome. I have done a few of these and I will attest to what you're saying regarding turning the engine by hand on a "dry run" PRIOR to starting the vehicle. I screwed up my first job like that and it cost me dearly. Lol. Keep up the good work bruh!!!

[@BaggerBro]

You are the man oldschool.... great video! God bless.

[@davidpowell3777]

Great video brother! Very well done. Thanks for posting!

[@axenz1]

Hi, from the service manual Civic 96 , to tight the timing belt is to turn anti clockwise from lower pulley for 1 turn, and it will auto tight, then tighten the tension bearing. Thanks for the video :)

[@michaelcypher2617]

Thank you for this, especially your encouragement and sign off at the end

[@jdmchickkustomz9417]
