Replacing the timing and balancer belts

[brough]

Any pointers for replacing the timing and balancer belts myself? The only question I have is for the back or left balancer pulley and making sure that particular balancer shaft is properly aligned. the other has a mark. The Honda manual is missing page 41.

I know I'm rather rusty as a mechanic but still think I can do it in about half a day.

Thanks in advance for all of you gents help.

you might need another persons help, and you might as well change your water pump, tensioner pulley and might as well do the front main crank shaft seal too...

Get a Haynes manual and it should tell you exactly how to do it.. it's going to take 2 people. This is why I replaced it all when my H22 was out of the car.

Yeah, I'm planning on doing everything that should be done. It runs aweful rough at idle. I'm thinking since the motor mount didn't do it the timing belt needs work.

I thought I was in the Tech section but...

I'm going to do the four belts, water pump, tensioner pulleys and springs. then I will gap the lifters, flush the radiator, and use new seals. I can't think of anything else.

I have the Chilton manual and it goes through the process for the back tensioner pulley. I would have thought there would be a mark to make sure it was at the right point in its turn. I will mark the old belt and pulley as well as the housing if there isn't a mark.

Thanks for the pointers though. And yes, I will have help.

You posted in here to, eh. Go to the technical forum, I gave you a few tips.

Yeah, once I saw where it was I moved it over there.
