Hey unfortunately my car has a stretched chain looks like the the cam gears are off a tooth or two when #1 piston is at tdc so I’m going to attempt a timing chain repair , I wrote down in steps how I was going to tackle the task just want to make sure I’m doing everything in the right order I’ve watch lots of videos on how to do it so I have a good idea of what’s going on i want to try to make it as simple as possible Jack car up and place on jack stands



Pull wheel off and cover for crank pulley



Pull off valve cover



Remove serpentine belt



Break crank pulley bolt loose then snug it up



Rotate engine to tdc



Remove tensioner cover



Rotate crank slightly counter clockwise to insert locking pin for tensioner rotate back to tdc



Break loose vtc actuator bolt if engine moves simply rotate engine back



Once engine is at tdc at the crank hold crank pulley with hand from rotating then remove bolt



Support engine with jack and piece of wood



Remove engine mount



Remove timing cover



Remove tensioner



Remove guides



Remove timing chain



Remove vtc actuator bolt with vtc actuator



Install new vtc make sure you can see the camshaft pin and it’s seated properly



Torque to 83ft lbs and lock the vtc actuator



Use adjustable wrench to rotate cam shafts and insert honda locking pins on pulse plates



Install the new timing chain accordingly coloured links will go on the markings on each sprocket



Install guides to help chain from jumping



Install new tensioner



Before pulling tensioner pin make sure all timing marks are perfect



Remove honda locking pins



Pull pin and install crank pulley



Rotate engine a few times to make sure all timing marks are where they are suppose to be



Remove crank pulley and install timing cover once areas are clean use gasket maker



Install motor mount and vtc solenoid



Install valve cover and spark plugs etc
