Hi everyone
I have a 99 hatch back with 151,000km on it d16y7
Well the other day I was drving and it all most went to overheating mode
Well this is what I did so far.I noticed that the resovoir was empty so I topped it
up and drove it.But noticed that it slowly goes down but I didn't find any leaks.Then I dorve it.But It still went to almost over heat on my temp gauge.So I let my engine cool down.I pulled my plugs and notice one of them was slightly white.
so I put the plugs back in.So then I started it again and the check engine light went on 1 cylinder miss fire.So I believe that it is my headgasket. So then I went ahead and removed the wiring for all the sensors and drained all the coolant now.set it to top dead center.removed the distributor and valve cover and cam bolt.I was ready to remove the timing belt with cam sprocket but noticed that I can't.Because of the timing belt lower cover.Well heres the problem how do I get the timing belt off now.Because I dont have a air compressor and impact gun to take off the crank shaft bolt is there any other ways besides impact gun.
Thank you for the advice if any

 

I think people have thrown it in 5th gear, considering its a manual, and have pressed on the brakes while someone has had at it with a 19mm, 1/2 ratchet and a extenstion... oh, and lots of force

 

just pull, you'll get the belt off. IMO you need to get that lower cover off you need to make sure you get that belt back on in the right position. You can always try to go to a honda dealership and try and to borrow the special tool they have so you dont have to use air.
