96 Honda Accord Timing belt?
So my car died on me last week while driving, so had it towed home. I finally got around to trouble shooting the problem today and I'm pretty sure the timing belt broke. I know where it's at and I could prolly figure out how to change but I would like to know if any seasoned Honda vets could give me any tips or tricks that would make the job so much easier. Thank you.

what you mean pretty sure? take the timing belt cover off and take a look
in short to change it you will need the following (major things there is a complete how to in the faq) might want to use impact tool for the big ass nut on t open rad cap when car is COLD drain cooling system and loosen alt adjustment bolt remove drive belts lift car or jackstands under front jack points remove driver's side front wheel remove fender liner remove main pully remove timing belt cover remove water pump remove tensioner when you install new one it is best to install new retainer kit for seal install new hoses install new tensioner install new drive belts install new water pump here is an idea http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/...13SV20_E11.gif |

if the T-belt stripped off teeth you should check for bent valves.

how would i go about checking for bent valves without pulling the head off. do i use compression tests or something?

Re: 96 Honda Accord Timing belt? (Psych0Thrasher)
looks like i got lucky no bent valves or stripped teeth, it seems as though the last time the belt was changed out the tensioner pulleys weren't changed cuz one the bearings in them flung out the grease and locked up and just snapped the belt. other than it being broken the belt looked pretty damn new. i've only had the car for about 1 year so i have no idea what work has been done to it but it runs great for 176k miles. i'm just surprised that i had no bent valves.

good to hear man, consider yourself lucky no serious damage was done. if you didnt flush the coolant you should consider that as well. just keep up with the routine maintenance and you can expect another 100k
