A 1990 (1987-1990 Gen1) Acura, 2.7ltr-v6 has a timing belt, about ~6 foot long, which drives the two (SOHC-TwinCam) cams (1 per head), and the water pump, and also has a tension pulley, which is adjustable via an external bolt on the lower TB/WP cover. If your Acura has over 60k on the current belt, or you don't know the mileage on the belt, it's time to change the belt and the water pump, and inspect the tension pulley and spring. I have personally changed both of these on a '90 model, and it takes 2 full days of labor, as you have to remove the alternator, Power Steering pump and hose, VAC hoses, much electrical, 2 upper TB/Cam covers, cruse control cable and 1 lower TB/WP cover, just to access the TB and WP. I order to get the lower TB/WP cover out the bottom, the oil cooler/oil filter holder must also be removed (3 bolts / 2 water hoses). This process is not for the weekend mechanic, as getting the belt back to the compression side of TDC is a real task, but if performed properly, the car will start without an issue. The space provide between the front of the V6 and the wheel well is very limited, and without the correct tools, add many hours of labor. Also, the 19mm crank bolt, which hold the main pulley to the crank make for an extra few hours, as the torque is at or above 123 lbs (mine was over 200 lbs), and after many years of service, it takes 3/4" - 1" drive wrenches and impact sockets to remove. Don't even try 3/8" or 1/2" tools for the crank bolt, as that will only add a trip to the store for replacement and upgrade of tools. Happy motoring.
