SO i was doing 65 in the fast lane on the freeway when I broke my timing belt on a d15b so I get it to the shop notice water coming outta the water pump pulled apart and saw a small pin hole link long story short put a new belt on after i timed the motor and new water pump and started right back up no bent valves nothing this is second timing belt ive broke on this car why am i not bending valves is this not an interference motor? thank you.

 

Yea, you definitely shouldn't be on a third t-belt. Are they being over-tightened or too loose? are they tearing or snapping?

 

yes, its an interference motor but you may have gotten lucky. check to see if the belt tensioner is bad.

 

the first one was my fault let it get old you know then it wore away last one was just a mecahnical failure but im following right by the book to put together.

 

your just getting lucky, some one is doing something wrong when they put this in, its to loose, or too tight. that our your just getting peice of **** timing belts. or tensioner is bad, which you should just replace anywas.

 

OK like i said the first damn time it was a old belt this time i had a faulty water pump it sized causing the belt to snap i simply asked why im not bending valves i do all work my self thanks. And yes buying goodyear gatorback belts.

 

ya man, keep getting a attitude, that will get ur question answered faster!!! and ur just getting lucky! you SHOULD be bending them

 

i answerd your question you dumb ***, so did the other guy!
your getting ****ing lucky get it?!?!?

it is a interference motor but sometimes they dont bend valves, consider your self lucky it didnt take out your head.

 

From reading reports on the internet over the years of failed Honda timing belts, it seems like over half the time there is no valve damage. Civics have interference engines, but I figure either the valve reliefs on top of the pistons help preclude damage; or maybe the pistons can push on the valves some without damaging them; or maybe the valves land in mid-position pretty easily; or all of the above.

 

wow you all are so tuff alls you guys wanted to say is i was buying cheap parts or doing something wrong lol go read original post i didnt wantto be told whatg ive done wrong but thank you honda lioness only resonable answer in thank god i daily drive a honda and thank god i race racecars at race tracks with v8's.

No just all you Honda people think you guys are god but your not so anyways go play with your 4 cyl and ill go play with v8s.

 

Nobody's said they're God. Grouping everyone into "Honda people" is pretty stupid too.
