I have done timing belts before, a long time ago on my B16 CRX and more recently on VW's/Audi's so I have experience doing it. How long does it usually take you guys to change the belt, pump, and tensioner.

The Civic is a DX so non-vtec if that matters.

Thanks.

an hour or two if you know what your doing and have all the tools right there

All Data Labour says 2.7 hours which i think is pretty accurate.

do you have an impact gun? that will cut a lot of time off and make it much easier

It Wasn't Me

It's best to plan on spending the day doing it. You never know what other kind of "problems" you may run into.


I can't count the times I've ended up spending an entire day on something that should have only taken a few hours. Something's seized, something breaks, something strips.. .. there always seems to be something.

Just did this yesterday. It took me all day. I had to replace the crankshaft oil seal there was a lot of oil down there so that ate up some time. Also my lower timing belt cover had a big crack in it and fell apart when I took it off So I had to run to Honda to get a new one.

Like the guy above me said. Just plan a day. Something will hold you up.

only thing that ever held me up was the crank pully bolt - use a decent impact gun & a short extension, should zip it off. if your gun's no good, you can pick a decent Ingersol rand at a pawn shop for $40 or so.
