I am doing a timing belt change on my 99 civic with the D16Y8. I ordered:
1.) Timing Belt
2.)Water Pump
3.) New Water pump seal
4.) new Camshaft oil seal
5.) Tensioner
6.) tensioner spring

I was reading about main seals for the crankshaft. on http://www.HondaAutomotiveParts.com i couldnt find it but also in my helms manual i couldnt find it. Where is it at?

Also are there any more parts that I should order from honda b4 i start the t-belt job?

 

anyone?

 

Usually the water pump comes with its own gasket, so I hope you didn't order that as a seperate part. Camshaft oil seal isn't something I've replaced before but having a new valve cover gasket is needed, along with HondaBond. Might as well do a valve clearance job while you've got things apart.

As for the front main seal - Part 17.

 

alright thanks. i did a valve job not too long ago, but i might as well do another one while im at it.

 

your main seal is behind your tranny. Other side of the motor, you don't do that when you do a timing belt.

 

alright i was thinking that but i wasnt sure. ill do that when i change my clutch but that wont be for a while, the clutch still feels really solid(as in in very good working condition from what i can tell)

Most cars if never replaced leak a little or alot from here. The front main is the one in the picture.

 

would ureccomend me changing this main seal on the side of the engine in the pic? isnt it right behind the timing belt pulley thats off of the crankshaft?

 

correct, you already have it apart wont hurt to go ahead and change it, also wouldnt hurt to go ahead and change the oil pump aswell

 

ill probably wait on the oil pump. Its another $80 that i dont want to spend right now
