How to installAcura tl 3.2 timingbelt?

Answer 1

remove rgt wheel,wheel-well covers,brake loose crank shaft center bolt(19mm socket,w/a 1/2" brakre bar layed between the lower control are,by the cv-half shaft,and bump the starter,using it to brake loose the nut.)(Careful just to bump,and do not attempt to start vechicle.)

remove bolt and slide off crank-shaft pulley.remove all lower belt cover bolts.

place a block of wood on a jack and support the engine,just under the oil pan .remove everything in the way of the motor mount,place them to the side,remove both belts,then completely move aside the power-steering pump.

remove the motor mount in two pieces and replace the bolts so they go back where they belong upon reassembly.

remove the two cam covers,and the mount attached to the block,the the lower cover.(You will have to jack & lower the engine as you go.)with everyting now exposed,the cams have marks on the that must point @ the 12 O'Clock mark on the front of the cylinder heads.The key-way of the crank must also,now,point @ 12 O'Clock where the arrow shows.hold cams inplace with small vice-grips until all is in place.

depress the actuator tensioner with a c-clamp and put a small drill bit thru it until it is replaced,and do not forget to pull the drill bit out when done and tighten the actuator pulley bolt as a failsafe.

Good luck.
