i have a b16a2 and it squeals when i floor it to around 6-7k rpm.

does anyone have a good clear overview of a diy or instruction of how to get to the tensioner? maybe even a timing belt instruction/diy will be fine too.

normally, how much does a timing belt tensioner cost? and will i be able to find one at the honda dealer?

is it necessary to change my timing belt as well, since im practically removing it? (car only has 49,000mi) if so, should i also change my water pump?

these were just some of the information i've collected while searching around for timing belt in the search.

 

btw, i've never really touched with motor parts/mods before.

should i do it myself through diy's and instructions or should i just blow $100-$200 to get the timing belt tensioner changed out by professionals?

and rate how hard it will be to change it. 10 being the hardest. 1 being the easiest.

 

anyone?

 

The bolt can be a bear, one time doing an EG, I was holding the crank pulley with one of those belt tools from sears while pushing a bar the opposite direction with my other arm, it took 15 minutes and all my strength to get that bolt lose.

 

your timing belt isn't squealing its your a/c, ps, or alternator belt.......
