Timing marks?

I think there is a hole but I have never used it. I take it you have it torn apart and are looking to line things back up. Take out plug #1 and insert a long screwdriver. Slowly rotate the engine until the screwdriver is at its highest point. That my friend is TDC, top dead center. (Engine rotates easy with all the plugs out.) Once you have TDC on the crank you need to line up the cam according to the marks they have put on the cam.

Would someone be able to tell me how to replace the timing belt on my 2005 Honda Civic.

Also I here that when you replace your timing belt you are to replace the water pump at the same time, is that true?

Thanks,
Craven

you do not have to replace water pump if it is not damaged in any way ?? some people replace it at the same time because of all the work involved .. it's a matter upto yourself ?

Good Day,
I am inquiring as to how I would go about changing the timing belt on this car. It went out while my Wife was driving it.
Thank you
& God bless,

Best thing to do is download a service manual OR go buy a haynes manual for your car. It has a step by step process of the job and pictures to help you do it.

I drive a 95 honda civic dx and just recently my timing belt gave out while i was driving about 45 mph on a back road when i accidently hit the shifter in to neutral the car just gave out but i didnt hear thing crack or ping loud like something broke even thought i didnt hear anything could i still just only have a belt timing problem instead of something more

it has an interference motor so most likely the valves are bent but best way to tell is just replace timing belt and check compression when done see how it runs.

how do you replace a timig belt on a 1995 honda civic

Hi there, Timing belt procedure as below. mark (mhpautos)

I was wondering how to set the timing on a '95 Honda Civic with a 1.5L 4 cyl. engine. I also was wondering what the cyl. order was on the same vehicle

With regards to your timing question, are you referring to camshaft timing? or ignition timing?

Engine Mechanical problem
1995 Honda Civic 6 cyl Automatic

I see no markings on the cam pulley to line up the timing belt .I don't want to do it wrong is there a way to find some markings ? need help please

The cam gear should say UP on it. You want to make sure that the UP mark is indeed facing upwards.

On the side of the gear (90degrees of the UP mark in both directions) there will be little slots on the gear. This will line up with the edge of the cylinder head.

Hope this helps.

If you do not see any marks, just set the crank to TDC and mark your own marks, but be careful that you do not loose the marks that you made while the belt is off.

my car slows down automatically. when its in nuetral you have to really shove it to get it to move. someone says its the timing belt. Can you help me out?

Can you better explain your problem here.

Is the vehicle automatic or standard? What do you mean you have to really shove it to move? What are you 'shoving'? Why is the vehicle in neutral why you are driving in the first place?

when the car is in drive it slows down rapidly. I think it has to do with the ebrake. when its off and in nuetral you have to put all your weight into it to get it to roll down the driveway which any other car rolls down when put in nuetral. Its an automatic. Im pretty sure it was a problem with the ebrake as the rear brakes were starting to smoke and were scalding hot after driving about 3000 feet. This happened twice yesterday. I let the car sit for three or four hours in a parking lot and let the wheels cool down. The same night I picked it up and it drove like brand new again. So, really my question is Is this related to the ebrake?

How many clicks are on your e-brake?

If it is less than 5 your rear brakes or parking brake is adjusted way too tight and is causing the rear shoes to drag against the drum.

It may not be e-brake related, but it is definately an adjustment issue with either the brake shoe adjuster or the parking brake adjuster.

Hope this helps.

I have a 95 Honda Civic with about 145,000 miles. I just replaced the timing belt, head gasket about 200 miles ago. The other day it just stopped running. It would turnover but would not try to run. I removed the timing belt cover, belt still on. I took the distributor cap off and turned the key, rotor did not turn, but the engine was turning over. I removed the valve cover, camshaft was broken between cylinders 1 and 2. My question, I want to replace the camshaft, with the engine spinning, pistons going up and down, could they have made contact with the valves that are open in the other cylinders?

Since it is an interference engine, it is possible. It depends on the position of the valves when the shaft broke. I would think a fair chance you would be okay...A look inside with a borescope may shed some light on it.

I removed the head today, there appears to be NO damage to the top of the pistons. The second bearing on the cam was wiped. It was dis-colored. I plan on getting a rebuilt head and installing on block.

Could a car rapidly decreasing in speed be related to the timing belt?

Very unlikely. If your vehicle is rapidly decreasing in speed you may have a brake dragging issue going on here. Make sure your rear brakes are properly adjusted.

I was cleaning out my block area because there seemed to be a leak, i saw oil dripping out the sides, so i opened it and found the problem, some of the oil got all over the cam gear area, so i decided to unscrew it and clean it, but at the same time i accidently dropped a bolt into the timing belt area....and my dad tried to start the engine when i said "No dont" he still did ...the car wont start and i need a way to fix it....

Can you please tell me how to fix this problem???...any suggestions?

my car - Honda Civic EX 1998 D-series engine.

You need to open the front cover-check the belt maybe it snapped, then find the bolt-your valve/ignition timing is off it will never start-you need to put it in TDC compression stroke-line up the cam and crank sprockets and making sure the rotor is pointing to the no.1 tower on the cap.before you reinstall the belt and then retime the ignition.

HTH Good LUck

if the timing belt breaks, will it bend the valves and/or ruin the engine?
1995 Honda Civic LX 4cyl auto, 135000 miles

Hi there,

Sorry to say this, but yes. Honda's will bend valves if a timing belt breaks, It is unusual for any piston damage to occur, but they will bend valves and crack valve guides. Best practice is to replace the belt and do a compression test to prove any damage has occurred.

How do you replace a timing belt on a civic. What type of tools do you need. Can you describe how to fix it in steps. Thank you.

This is a very lengthy job, to explain it step by step would take a long time. Your best bet would be to download or purchase a service manual that will have exact torque specs and pictures/diagrams for you while you work on the car!

The only speciality tools needed would be a honda crankshaft pulley holder and a torque wrench.

my rocker assembly was cracked so i replaced it with a
1996 civic ex rocker assembly. Was Told it was the same,
looked And fit the same.
After assemblying it together I started her up and it didn't go.
I noticed the timing belt was loose then pulled it out to see It ripped. Later I then realize four of the bolts that holds the rocker assem down were 2mm smaller and probably mixed it up. I also didn't torque the bolts.
Any ideas of why and what happened?

I can only imagine that the rocker gear is different, if the belt has slipped you will have done engine damage, bent valves will be your next concern.

well the car never even ran after changeing, It broke whiling cranking? After a little more research I think might have not put the distrubiter back cause I pulled it out ( my mistake) so even just cranking would cause damage such as bent valve?

Hi,
i was wondering if the '94 Honda Civic DX has a timing belt. If it does, where is it located, and how do I know it is time to replace it?

iT depends on the emission specs for your car but at 60K or 90K but no later as it is an inereference engine and you can wipe out the valves and cylinder head.

If you don't know where the timimg belt is located DON'T even think about changing it. Specail tools and special knowledge apply. Let a pro do it. good luck

Thanks. Recently I had a major tune up done for the car but I wasn't sure if checking the timing belt was part of the check up too. Is it normal to pay up to $500 in maintenance fees?

I have a '94 Honda Civic DX

Depends on what mileage check they performed.

I have a Honda Civic DX 1994 with 177,000 miles snd 1.5L 4cyl engine. Last night my car died on me, after hitting a small bumb in the road. The car won't crank over at all. I check the fuel and ignigtion system and they all seem fine. Could I have knocked the timing out of whack?

Maybe - try putting the engine on TDC on no.1 compression stroke. Make sure the timing pulley marks are all line up. Open up the distributor cap is the rotor exactly under the no. 1 cap tower.

i would check the car for rotation of the distributor as the crankshaft is rotated slightly. Got movement of the distributor as well then i would check the spark on the engine. i suspect you may have finished off a sensor or a coil or the like. But see if you have spark to the plugs.

My car Honda Civic 2H4 Model. The phaumatic systems hoses had been wrongly inserted and not to their original setting. To that reasons, it effects the car engine timing . The engine high and low machanism timing are always at high RPM. I have consulted many workshops and due to this type of car is double caboraters, they claims to not no knowledge on how it works.

The SH4 twin carburetted engine is few and far in between. Mechanic who are well versed in SH4 twin carburetted engine is few and far in between and it is not surprising that you are not able to find any who can help you.

There are not too many vacuum lines so it should not be a problem but I don't have any vacuum lines diagram so if you could show me some pictures, I might be able to help.

The vacuum component that affects the idming speed would be the Fast Idle Up Control for A/C. This is straightforward. Just ensure the vacuum hose to the solenoid is not reversedly attached. Reversing would result in the vacuum pump not releasing when the solenoid is turned off. Ensure the idle-up adjust screw is not pushing against the throttle when A/C is not turned on.

The component most likely to cause high idling would be the automatic thermal choke mechanism. Ensure the hoses to the thermal unit are not clogged and the choke lever is fully released when engine is at operating temperature. Ensure the thermostat is working and you have one that has not been removed.
