How to do a timing belt and water pump on a Honda Civic 1.7 liter engine

[iNf3rNuSdI4bLuS1]

yeah, fuck plastic parts, why cars cannot bet simple where you can see all your chrome tubing and stuff, that's cooler

[briansmobile1]

@iNf3rNuSdI4bLuS1 I'm with you man. It's due to the relationship between ignorance and fear. If people see things they don't understand those things scare them.

[andrewmylyf]

what motor is this? does it have vtec?

[briansmobile1]

@andrewmylyf  2004 CA emissions 1.7L Vtec

[andrewmylyf]

is this a carb? of f.i.?

[12RubiksCube]

Thanks man, it was a great help. Just wish u had a little more on the tensioner install and tension.

[FJ5RACE]

I'm doing a 2004 1.7 if I line up all of the marks and put a new timing belt on it should be ok right?? Thank you for posting the video!! they are handy

[briansmobile1]

@FJ5RACE Yes. You're welcome!

[FJ5RACE]

@briansmobile1 Thank you for getting back to me I'm here in Maryland if you ever need anything from this state...

[briansmobile1]

@FJ5RACE Thanks. Maybe put up a Ron Paul poster or two- This bat---- crazy country could use some of his brand of "crazy" in D.C. about now.

Nice ear..:p

[hp11208]

Even if its not a good vid thumbs up still cause if we had to pay for this then it would be something else lo.

[hectorbetanzos82]

to briansmoblie1 suggestion next time just take the starter off and jam the fly wheel with a big socket then support ur extensions with a jack stand from ur braking bar to the bolt no heating needed time wise 30 minutes do that to all hondas harmonic balancers

[briansmobile1]

@hectorbetanzos82 That is high risk high reward. Another high risk high reward method is to support the breaker bar and socket and then hit the starter momentarily. Thanks for sharing that here.

[kylehinderer1234]

you are seriously hilarious

[e017797]

Thanks for the video. my huge hang-up was the harmonic balancer bolt. I used a MAPP tourch and a 1/2 impact took about 4 hours heat and beat. I would recomend this step first so that you know you can get it. Pull the wheel get that bolt loose first. If you can't get it your car is not laied up while you find a solution.

Thanks Again from sunny Phoenix

[briansmobile1]

@e017797 You're welcome man.

[briansmobile1]

@idkfrofro I don't own a Civic. I drive a Cummins Turbo diesel. It does pretty good on gas too. I also have a CBR F4i it's even better on gas. It's silly to use something that's 4.8 tons to haul you around when something 0.1875 tons will do the job and is more fun.

[uraijit]

@briansmobile1

Think about it, Brian, idkfrofro drinks 2 liters of soda at a time. He's probably one seriously fat fucking retard... He probably DOES need something that's 4.8 tons to haul his retarded ass around... ;)

[briansmobile1]

@uraijit Even if he is. I'll still show him respect and try to teach what I can. If you exercise your whit to offend some one they won't listen to you any more. And then there's one more idiot to worry about in the world who is now your enemy. If you show an idiot respect for listening then before long they are neither your enemy nor an idiot. ; )

[uraijit]

@briansmobile1

I dunno, he seems to be to be within about 10 IQ points of being a full-blown window licker... ;)

Good for you, for treating him nicely, even though he treated you like crap! Kudos. I'd hang out with ya! Probably not a two-way street there though, because I take a different approach. I seek to educate the idiots with the blunt object of cold, hard, reality... ;)

Either way, you've got my respect.

[briansmobile1]

@uraijit I've had my days of violence, rebukes, and conflict. I was right, I was proud, I wasn't happy and always had to look over my shoulder. Thanks.

[briansmobile1]

@idkfrofro Because treatment of diabetes is SO much more profitable than preventing it. Therefore corn and sugar producers are subsidized to increase production of the sugar water you drink while making it cost less to you. The engine is smaller because people demand more power and less fuel consumption. To accomplish this the compression ratio is increased by employing an interference engine, timing belt, fuel injection,egr valve, and a more aggressive cam and coil over plug ignition.

[eifeldude1]

thanks, great video

[briansmobile1]

@eifeldude1 You're welcome and thanks

[83budda]

That's new news to me. I never thought a bad alt can fry the computer. Thought it would just drain the battery. Thanks again. My alt is long over due then. 200k with original alt

[briansmobile1]

@83budda The trouble comes from overcharging. If the belt slips the demand for juice kicks up. This can also happen if the alt shorts internally.

[83budda]

Ok. Thanks for additional detail

[briansmobile1]

@83budda You bet. If the alt. fails it wipes out the computer $750 key program $60 Alternator $150 ELD $50. It's cheaper to just be super careful and replace the Alternator at 125K miles.

[83budda]

Great video. I have the same vehicle . This will help me a lot when it's time to do my TB. Thanks

[briansmobile1]

@83budda Make sure to get the alternator belt tension and and bolts tight. You may also want to replace the alternator at the same time. The circuits are protected from shorts to ground but NOT from an alternator that overcharges. Slipping belt can cause this as well as internals coming apart inside.

[xosamixo1989]

hey my husband and i followed you step by step got the job done but have created more problems than we had. the entire motor is shaking horribly where ae before it didnt...also the battery ie now dead could we have messed up putting the altnator on wrong or belt.....last but not least it feels like its not getting as much power when driving....we have no idea what to do...please help.

[briansmobile1]

@xosamixo1989 The belt is MOST LIKELY off 1-3 teeth. Some rare outliers (statistics) are an unplugged cam sensor, or the worst case scenario is an alternator belt that wasn't tight enough. If your alternator overcharges it will make your tachometer not work, the temp gauge not work and the green key on the cluster flash. Make sure the alternator belt is tight by tightening it until you can twist it on it's longest run 90 degrees or quarter turn and NO more than that. Let me know what U find

[faster5959595959]

Brian, Yo were right the cam seal was bad, replaced cam seal, crank seal and valve cover gasket....Thanks.TIM

[briansmobile1]

@faster5959595959 You're welcome- way to go!

[PQPLAYER92]

LOLOLOLOL OLD MCDONALD HAD A CIVIC HAHA EIEIO

[brakedd]

"Idiot hood" is the best automotive term since love tap.

[briansmobile1]

@brakedd Thank you. I didn't make up "love tap" but idiot hood is all mine.

[faster5959595959]

Brian great video......I have a Problem, I had the dealer do the water pump and belt. I now have an oil leak. Oil drips from the underside of the timing case at the curve of the crank. Your video shows a oil free case. I am wondering where the oil would come from. Is there a weep hole in the case? If so it might be a seal. Could the valve cover gasket be the problem? Any ideas? TIM

[briansmobile1]

@faster5959595959 Sounds like a timing seal. It's the other end from the rear main seal on your crankshaft.

[peelout40]

Go to Home Depot/Lowes, they usually have loads of LED flash lights, I got 8 for $15 bucks, that's right...and they all work and quite bright too. I try to save money so I can't afford high tech anything.

And, after watching how lengthy it was to replace this water pump, I'm so glad my tiny Toyota was easier to manage than this one, kudos...good vid.

[briansmobile1]

@peelout40 Thanks.- I'm glad you liked it.

[605manuel]

brian you need a gopro cam with a headstrap =)

[briansmobile1]

@605manuel YOU my friend are correct! I'm waiting for the new Contour GPS with a mic jack to come out.

[spelunkerd]

When you use a light for video, a large, close light source gives way better soft lighting that keeps everything illuminated, with fewer hot spots. Those rechargeable multi-LED trouble lights you can buy are great, if you remember to take them off the vehicle before the customer drives away (don't laugh, it's easy to do). When the light source is large, you don't get the sharp deep shadows or bright spots that are often seen with normal flashlights. Great job, Brian.

[1elAguila]

brian you do a great job don,t worry about the people who giving you thumbs down i like the vid

take care amigo

[nightmathzombieethan]

$50 Bluepoint Pen Light, brighter than any other light I've had (Even better than some "multi-bulb" Led lights I've had). Cringed at the idea of spending 50 F***n dollars on a penlight, but it was worth every penny.

[briansmobile1]

@nightmathzombieethan I love Blue Point stuff. That's buying it right.

[sweetlikeADAM]

"3 studs if you count me..." Hahaha.

[2LateIWon]

10:23 Bwahaha Classic Bro!!!

Great Vid!!

Someone's been giving me a thumbs down too. Arghh childish unless you really don't like my vids. Which Im like you. If you don't like it that's cool just let me know so I can try and make it better next time.

[mikeishot123789]

Thank you for this vid

[mustangsammy95]

[andremartinbike]

[briansmobile1]

@hp11208 Makes for some good skiing!

[TEMEZARE]

[foxdmulder]

Another great *****

[Mystery207]

I think youtube has trolls who just vote videos down because they are hateful and probably are pissed because they don't understand what you are doing and that is their way of coping. TY! For your time and sharing your knowledge!

[VestalBill]

Enjoy all your videos, esp your comments about tools (harbor freight and the flashlight in this one). This might be a pain for you, but make a list of good & bad tools & do a general tools video based on your experience. THANKS!

[transdetendal]

hate to say it but the cops over here use maglite and they suck BIG time too , i had a cheap son of a....h that worked fine and wasent to smash ,got it for...1 buck us and a truckran it over after 4 years

[mazzmari]

4sevens.com for some high quality flashlights.

[12344richard]

nice video

[epiphaknee]

If it's raining everyday, you live in western Washington! LOL Here is the Honda repair that every Honda owner needs to be aware of and ready to perform! So sad our American tools can't always get the job done (even with a higher cost)! Another great video!!

[trunitemare]

Right on!

[briansmobile1]

@trunitemare Glad you liked it. At least it gave me something fun to do out of the rain!

[CURBECK]

Thumbs up!!!! Lol

[mikeishot123789]

Awsom dog

[briansmobile1]

@mikeishot123789 Thanks man
