How to put a timing belt on a 1998 Honda Civic Dx 4 cylinder?

Answer 1

take the timing cover off the belt there should be a gear below the camshaft pully its a tensioner use a peice of chalk and mark the very top of the cam pully and the very bottom of the crank pully do your best not to turn them loosen the tensioner pully the belt will loosen up take it off put the new one on if you turned the pully put it back slowly tighten the belt when its tight if the pully turned when tightening pull the slack out by hand then tighten it both chalk marks should be lined up if they are start the car

always unplug the battery first and don't rotate the pullys more than a few inches if nessacery when the belt is off you could cause damage to the valves
