I like the look of the engine without the camshaft belt cover. My car is a 1995 Honda Civic EX with the D16Z6. If you don't know what that engine is, its the SOHC VTEC 1.6 putting 125 ponies to the ground. I looked at it, but it appears it may be a little difficult to get to in some places. Has anyone taken their's off? What should I look out for? What should I know before doing this?

 

you will lose your timing marks if you do that. you will also risk getting debris in the gears and damaging them.

 

Don't do that

 

Ive done it, you just have to be careful were you drive, don't go through dirt or rocks because you get anything in there you can mess it up
