Default Timing Belt

Is it possible to change the timing belt on a '94 civic coupe Lsi (B15B7 engine) without lifting the engine off it's mounts.

I think you have to remove the driver side engine mount no matter what, but thats the only one. The engine should support it's own weight on the other mounts, but you could set a block of wood underneath just to be sure

yea id just put a block of wood under the oil pan and put a jack underneath it just to hold the engine so it doesnt sag on the other mounts.

the major problem is getting access to the tensioner. The problem is i replaced the cylinder head gasket and had to get the head skimmed as it warped slightly. due to the skimming the cam pulley sits a bit lower than normal so there is slack in the belt and the it occasionally slips a tooth. is there any way of tensioning the belt without droping the engine.
