k i just changed my timing belt and when i started the car, i hear lotsa slapping and the timing belt is hella wobly like its going to slip off the cam gears.

so i tryin to redo the belt install, a couple questions here: 1. which one is the exhaust cam and intake cam? and 2. is there any tips on trying to get the belt on cuz its a real bitch to put on?

 

intake cam is the one closest to the intake manifold.

 

schweeeet thanksk, can i have other peeps verify his startment pleez

 

Are you using a manual for the belt tightening proceedure? If not, search Google for "hondahookup manuals".

Exhaust cam: front
Intake cam: rear

 

yea i following haynes manual and teamintegra.net directions they say put in this odor : 1. crankshaft poopie 2. bitch *** tensioner 3. gay water pump 4. exhaust fart cam 5. intake shmintake cam but when i get to the intake cam its ****** to get it in the gear so i push the tensioner down wit a philips to gimme some slack, but it so daym much tight i can't fit around the intake cam gear

 

It is impossible to mix up the intake and exhaust cam.

Your problem is that you aren't tensioning it correctly. First, you need to loosen the tensioner bolt 180 degrees. Once the belt is set correctly on the cams, you need to crank it counterclockwise three teeth and then tighten the tensioner back up to 40 ft/lbs. Rotate it a few times to make sure there isn't excessive slack and check that the timing is still good. If it all checks out, you are good to go.

 

awesome so i should loosen the tensioner enough so i can get the belt on the intake cam sweee tanks fer advices

this does not always work...sometimes the tensioner will not pull up properly...thats when you get a long screw driver and pry up on the tensioner

Possible. Assuming he just replaced the tensioner, I don't think that would be a problem.
