I ordered the kit from prostreetsonline to replace the timing belt, water pump and tensioner in my Integra.
I'm studying the Haynes manual and read some posts about the job.

I saw a Clymer manual mentioned and a downloadable PDF service manual for these cars. Where can I get these? I'd prefer Clymer to Haynes. That's what I use for motorcycles.

Any other tips I should know before starting this job???

 

Haynes replicates the OEM Service Manual, just follow the steps in it.

 

let me know how it goes. im doing mine in a month. thanks

 

Here are some diy i used to do my TB job:

Tips: Change all your v-belts as well when your down there. since you have everything apart. Use white out and mark all your top cam gears and the crank shaft where it lines up with the TDC marks. That is very very important.

Crank shaft pulley bolt. Now... I was told my a guy from honda acura dealership that the LS bolt is easier to get off. But my gsr crankshaft pulley bolt Took me 8 hours of using extension pipes, broken sockets, breaker bars, 1/2 impact wrench and even the starter trick (it's stadard threaded btw 19mm)

It finally took oem pulley holder, 19mm impact wrench, Long breaker bar with extension to a shop jack handle. 520ft lbs of torque.
3/4 impact wrench will do it as well... shocking it at 900 ft lbs of torque.

Took me 15 hours to do everything, 8 of the hours was me trying to get off the #$%^ bolt.
so good luck, lemme know if you have questions.

 

For that much frustration I think it's almost worth paying the dealer to do it.

 

i never changed a timming belt before and it only took about 3-4 hours with a water pump change and i did my friends car also in 3 hours. if u couldnt do that u should be beaten with a 3/4 torque wrench.

 

GSRtommy did his timing belt while blasting whitesnake with his mullet flapping in the air in his acid wash jeans.

if you have to ask how to do it then go pay someone to do it. dont make a noob error and fuck up your timing

 

so now that i have the links all i need is a mullet flapping in the air and acid wash jeans.......dude, im so there LOL

 

Well the bolt pretty made me exhuasted, i don't know why it was so hard to get off but after the bolt came off everything else went smoothly.

 

Prostreet online called and said the tensioner spring is back ordered and I could get one from the dealer. The closest dealer is 200 miles away. With shipping I'm looking at 40 bucks for a 4 dollar spring. The one service guy said I ought to be okay with the original spring.
Would you use the original spring?
Is there another online vendor for spring?
