Replacing a timing belt on a Honda Civic

How the fuck should we know? Are you mentally retarded that you can't even change something simple as a timing belt on one of the most overrated cars? There's probably a million fucking guides and videos on how to do that on a Civic, you fucking idiot. Leave this board.

youtube and see

I also mean it in an economic sense. I have some basic tools at home (wrench, hammer, screw driver, etc) but most guides have you using a lot of different other tools. Which I have to buy.

I got quoted $600

>>16491039
Then make a simple math sum you idiot. Calculate the costs of the tools you have to buy and compare it to your six hundred american dollars

I also want to know the level of difficulty of a job like this. Is this something that if I mess up could end up costing a lot to fix?

>>16491053
I wont say its easy but it is pretty straight forward. As long as you get the timing marks in the right spot and torque everything down you should be ok.

>if I mess up could end up costing a lot to fix?
Yes. Just dont mess up m8.

If you mess up you're gonna need a engine rebuild if it's a interference engine

Yeah just take your time.

>needed timing belt and head gasket done on my D16 Civic
>uncle offered to do it free because he's based as fuck
>get all the parts
>offered to help but he prefers to do it alone so I watched a bit

From watching it a little bit it really doesn't look too bad. All the gears and pulleys have marks telling you where they should be so you'll know if you did it correctly. Pick up a manual for your car and follow it carefully.

If yours is a D series as well, it might be worth paying for the full timing belt swap video for it from ETCG. I would have gotten it myself if I were gonna tackle it on my own.

give it a go if you want to learn. go watch eric the car guy on youtube, im sure he has a video on it. i'd recommend getting a kit with a new tensioner and necessary idlers. if its your first time i wouldnt bother trying to change the cam seals, just keep it simple. Mark the belt and a tooth on each of the cogs (2x cams and 1xcrank) with a correction pen, then when you get the old belt off, copy the marks onto the new one. (easier to see than the factory marks). Im not sure what motor your have, but doing a t belts usually a good time to put in a new water pump.
