Did 2nd 'live' timing belt today. 02 civic 1.6
« on: 12 June 2015, 19:52:14 »
.....and it didn't blow up  ;D

In fact sounded really nice after.

Interesting thing was that I got it to approx. TDC then made my own marks on cam and crank and when I set the tension I was expecting to have to back the crank off to compensate for the tension. But nope, just kept them lined up, tensioned, turned it over and was bang on the monies  :y

Took me around 5 hours.

Very, very pleased. Got my sights on the 3rd now.

Also, I'm trying to do everything I can to not have help with stuff and fix upcoming problems myself. In the week not had a single bit of help. I'm getting there   :y

Was real nice mate. Everything's 10mm  ;D

I'd say the only thing that pissed me off was the upper cover boltjust under the cam sensor. And the two front bolts for the engine mount with the studs. Just awkward to get to.

Crank bolt was a right pain until I realised the compressor wasn't on  :-[

Other than that everything went great
