This VManual covers the complete step by step replacement of the timing belt and water pump on Honda Civics equipped with the D series engine. In addition it covers the drive belt replacement and bleeding the cooling system.
Specifically this VManual covers the replacement of the timing belt and water pump on a 2007 Honda Civic. I also cover the older version of the D series timing belt replacement found in older model Civics. These procedures are detailed throughout the video as cut aways to a 1999 model Civic. The main differences between the older and newer engines is the placement of the accessories, mainly the alternator. Older D series engines placed the alternator on the back of the engine toward the firewall or bulkhead. Newer versions of the D series mounted the alternator on the front of the engine near the radiator. The engines are essentially the same, it’s the placement of the accessories, and the type of timing belt tensioner used, that separates the 2 versions. Both timing belt tensioners are covered in the VManual.
I briefly touch on the cam and crankshaft oil seal replacement in the video, but it is not detailed. I do cover how to effectively remove the crank bolt using a couple of different methods. I also bring my years of Honda experience to show you little tips and tricks to make the job easier. If nothing else after watching the VManual, you will know exactly what’s involved with the job and feel more confident doing it yourself.
