FAQ: How to Change Headgasket , Timing belt, water pump On b16 / ITR / GSR
Well People have been buggin me that pix that i had on my old thread didnt work very well so this weekend i was doing the headgasket change and i decided to do the write up once again and throw in the timing belt and water pump. So here it goes enjoy.
BTW I do Take Paypal donations for my website https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emsmilep.gif For more of my write ups check out Http://www.JDMLyfeStyle.com Tools needed Good Torqe Wrench Rachet with 10, 12, 14, 19 sockets 12mm wrench Needle nose pliars or channel locks for removing coolant hoses Flat head screw driver Step 1 Pull your car onto a level solid service. would not recommend doing this in a gravel driveway. Be sure that your E-Brake Is Engaged. also i put blocks behind the rear tires. http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04027.jpg http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04028.jpg step 2 Jack up the car and place the jackstands in the spot shown.BTW look how straight that damn exhaust is https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...es/emsmile.gif http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04029.jpg http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04030.jpg Step 3 Remove the Negative Battery Terminal. I would do this when doing any work under the hood. Step 4 Pop the Cap off the Radiator (Do not remove cap if Engine is still hot) Pull the plug on the radiator to flush all the fluid out of the cooling system. Put in a appropriate container and dispose of it properly http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04037.jpg http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04033.jpg http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04034.jpg http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04039.jpg Step 5 Remove the 12mm bolts holding on your header and take the header off the car. remove the bolts holding it on to the cat. In my case i just have an exhaust clamp on to be able to remove it quickly to run open header. http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04125.jpg http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04126.jpg http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04127.jpg Step 6 Take a 19mm rachet and remove the freeze plug located on the front of the block. this will get all of the coolant out from the water jackets http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC041271.JPG Step 7 Remove the radiator hose from the thermostat housing. pull it up as high as you can to get all of the coolant out(picture 1) while your in that area unplug the distributor connector. Also remove the coolant hose going into the bottom of the intake manifold (picture 2) http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04109.jpg http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04110.jpg Step 8 unplug the following things Upper radiator hose other coolant hose going into the side of the head water temperature sensor Vtec Solenoid lol and i forget what the other 2 are but u see the red dots http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04103.jpg http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04102.jpg http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04101.jpg http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04100.jpg http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04099.jpg http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04104.jpg http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04105.jpg http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04106.jpg Step 9 Time to get ready to take the intake manifold off. but before we can do that we have to remove a few things Remove the throttle cable from the throttle body. and remove the 2 10mm bolts holding it to the intake manifold take off the vaccum line in the front of the manifold. u will see the take off the vaccum line on the far right back of the manifold. take off the coolant line that goes to the IACV unpluge the map sensor, Tps sensor, IACV sensor Take off your Fuel return line from your Fuel pressure regulator remove the fuel line that is connected to the Fuel filter. be sure not to loose the washers!!!!. place the end of the fuel line into a sandwich baggy and put another baggy around it and zip tie so you do not spill fuel everwhere. http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04112.jpg http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04117.jpg http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04118.jpg http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04122.jpg http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04123.jpg http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04121.jpg Step 10. You do not have to do this if you are not getting the head resurfaced. use a 12 mm wrench and remove the bolts holding on the intake manifold. Step 11 remove the spark plug wires and remove the 10mm Valve cover bolts and remove the Vent tube going from your Valve cover to your Intake. http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04043.jpg http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04044.jpg http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04041.jpg http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04050a.JPG http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04049.jpg Step 12 This is where it gets fun https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...es/emsmile.gif Be sure the engine is at TDC on the cams and crank. Line up the white line on the crank pulley with the timing mark on your lower timing cover. be sure the Cams lines are lined up straight from each other and the cam gears are marked up http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04046.jpg http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04047.jpg http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04048.jpg http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04057.jpg Step 13 take a 14mm socket and release the tension on the tensioner. that is located in the lower timing cover right above the crank pulley http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04155.jpg step 14. remove the timing belt. be sure not to jerk it around. you dont wanna mess up the alignment of the teeth. http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04058.jpg step 15 I would recommend doing this step as well take a 19mm and remove the oil pan bolt and let the oil drain out. Since you are doing this might as well change the oil. Step 16 take a 12mm and remove the 3 bolts holding on the distributor step 17 Now take a 10mm (yellow) and 12mm (red) and remove the cam cap cover bolts you need to do this in the following sequence on the 12 mm bolts 1 7 9 5 3 4 6 10 8 2 http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC040541.JPG http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04061.jpg http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04060.jpg http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04093.jpg step 18 now gently pry up the cam caps and remove the cam seals..IMPORTANT YOU MUST KEEP THE CAM CAPS IN THE SAME ORDER!!!!!!!! http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04094.jpg http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04095.jpg http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04096.jpg Step 19 remove the cams. place them in a plastic wrap and keep a light layer of oil on them put them somewhere will they will not be disturbed. step 20 Remove the 12mm cylinder head bolts in the following sequence (Or a 1/2" 12point if you have ARP Head Studs.) 1 7 9 5 3 4 6 10 8 2 http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04124.jpg Step 21 remove the Head. i was doing this solo coming off head studs so this is the best way i can get the head off. http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04132.jpg http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04133.jpg Step 22 use a lint free cloth...i used a microfiber cloth and use some sore of cleaning agent.. in this case i used Sea foam deep creep. and clean the block surface and inspect for any damagaes. Step 23 (optional but recommended) Take the head to a machine shop to have it inspected for warpage and have it resurfaced In my case i shaved off .04" Now its time to put it back together Be sure to install the headgasket right. line up all the ports and waterjackets http://jdmlyfestyle.com/wetoddimage.jpg you it is recommended that you get new head bolts. I did not. i went with ARP Head stud kit $105 from prostreetonline.com. Honda dealer wanted $140 for the 10 head bolts (1 time use only) Now since that we have the Cylinder head off and some extra room to work lets get that damn timing belt and water pump changed. Step 1. place a jack under the oil pan and lift it til you feel some resistance from the oil pan. http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04159.jpg Step 2. Remove the 3 motor mount bolts 2 (14mm) 1 (17mm) http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04156.jpg http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04157.jpg http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04158.jpg Step 3 Remove the 10mm bolts off the lower Timing belt cover i believe there is 6 of them http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04146.jpg Step 4. Now its time to get that damn Crank pulley off. It was 3 in the morning so the Impact was out of the question for me. So i had to stick a pry bar between the flywheel and tranny and wedged the handle against the motor. then took a breaker bar and put a Pole on it and broke the Bolt loose. http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04139.jpg http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04140.jpg http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04141.jpg http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04142.jpg Step 5. Now you can remove the crank pulley and lower timing belt cover.. NOTE!!! DO NOT LOOSE THE KEYWAY FOR THE CRANK PULLEY http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04148.jpg Step 6 Now pull offf the Old Timing belt. and throw it away or keep it for a back up your choice Step 7 Take a 14mm rachet and remove the 14mm bolt on the Tensioner. then take a pair of needle nose pliars and remove the Spring on the tensioner. http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04168.jpg http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04167.jpg On the Left we have our Old Tensioner and spring. on the right brand new OEM honda tensioner and spring from ProstreetOnline. http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04169.jpg Step 8. Take your 10mm and remove the 5 10mm bolts holding on the waterpump. http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04161.jpg Step 9 Remove the water pump. http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04165.jpg Step 10 Now install your gasket on your new water pump and install it the opposite way you removed it. http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04180.jpg Step 11 Install your new Tensioner. Notice there is a big hole and a little hole on the tensioner. the big hole goes onto a nipple on the block. and the little hole is for the spring. http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04170.jpg http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04171.jpg http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04172.jpg Step 12. Take your new Timing belt (Also OEM honda From Prostreetonline.com) and install it around the timing gear, water pump, and Tensioner. http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04173.jpg http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04174.jpg http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04178.jpg http://jdmlyfestyle.com/DSC04176.jpg Step 13. Now Install your Lower timing belt cover and crank pulley (DONT FORGET THE DAMN KEY WAY!!!! Now you put your cylinder head back on (Thats if you have take in off) 1,Place head on block and torqe down the head bolts or studs 2,install cams 3. Install Cam Caps in correct order 4 Install Cam Plate and torqe all the bolts down properly 5. NOW triple check and Be sure that the cams are At TDC and the timing marks are lined up. as well as the TDC mark on the crank pully ( white line) When you install the cam cap cover back on be sure to torqe the 10mm bolts to 7 Ft lbs first and then torqe the 12 mm bolts to 20 ft lbs in the following sequence be very careful not to torqe them too fast or you will snap a bolt off like i did. do it very slowly. 9 5 1 3 7 8 4 2 6 10 When you are torqing down the headbolts with Honda Head bolts you want to do this in a 3 step form step one 21 ft lbs then back off 1/2 a turn step two 42 ft lbs then back off 1/2 a turn step three 63 ft lbs of torqe and your done this must be done in the following sequence 9 5 1 3 7 8 4 2 6 10 Now just do everything backwards. You might want to replace the intake manifold and exhaust manifold gasket while your at it. and put your fluids in last This has been another JDMLyfeStyle write up Im out. Lata bitches JDMLyfeStyle |

Can't believe I missed this from before...
Good write up.... Shouldn't this be a sticky at least? https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif Actually how about under the All motor Index? New Category "Maintenance" https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...es/emsmile.gif |
Re: FAQ: How to Change Headgasket , Timing belt, water pump On b16 / ITR / GSR (RagingAngel)
Sweet Jesus, DO NOT pick motor up like that with the jack directly on the center of the oil pan. Always use a block of wood to distrubute the weight.
And I also would not use a device to wedge between the teeth of the flywheeel to hold the motor still while trying to take off the crank pulley. Use the correct tool. It can be had for little money on autopart.com (refering to crank pulley holding tool, exactly for that job) http://www.autopart.com/TOOLS/...2.htm otherwise good job. -s |
The oil pan was not affected in any way by holding it in place..
I jack it up til its good enough to hold the pan. and then i remove the mounts.. i still have 4 other mounts holding the motor so its not really hurting any thing Also i make these write ups for the average joe. Not everyone has the crank pulley tool to remove the crank pulley so this is a alternative. Everything i do is just to help out those that have just a basic set of tools |
