Would this be the same for a 2004?

@evencode this will work just the same on 01's through 05's.

i have a 2001 V6 accord with almost 150,000 miles and its never had a timing belt change, is there any warning signs or sounds to look for? how do you know its bad besides how many miles it has. thanks for your time. @big2000dave

[big2000dave]

@Bret3030 if you wait until the engine runs or sounds different, chances are you are already causing damage to it. Only way to tell the wear on the belts are by looking at them. If you dig deep enough to look at them, you might as well change them. Miles are the true judge of this and your car's time is now for that belt service. ;)

do you know if its mandatory to drain the motor oil and radiator fluid; plus disconnecting the battery? or can you just leave it out and go straight taking out the pulley and changing the timing belt?

[big2000dave]

@Darkmand8 i drained the motor oil because of the crank shaft part of the service. I drained the coolant because when removing the water pump, it will all come rushing out anyway. I disconnected the battery because this was a huge job and i was dealing with electrical components such as the alternator. Better safe than sorry, especially when dealing with potential electrical issues. If you would like, removing the negative battery terminal is really all you need to do.

is it only me who noticed he is buckled into the passenger seat whilst filming a video ? ... wtf?

[vietscouty]

@evencode Yep. 7th gen civics all have d17 engines except for the Si.

@big2000dave thanks for the reply and your video

[Darkmand8]

@big2000dave thanks!!! for the info Dave. i just took my car to the mechanic due to minor oil leak from the crank shaft seal and they say i need to replace the seal and timing belt for 900 bucks. Charging an arm and leg from my part lol. anyway, can i just adjust the alternator and take out assemble belt to get into the crank shaft seal? will that be easier? your help means a lot Dave. keep those videos coming ;)
