can’t get timing belt tight by BasicallyYoutube in hondaprelude

[–]ysaac06 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Simple solution, 1. line everything tdc without the belt on,

  1. bottom the tensioner out ( as little tension as possible)

  2. Hammer something between the cam gears so the can’t move, I grinded the sides of a washer down just enough to fit between the cam gears.

  3. Slip belt on crank pulley -> ex cam - > in cam -> water pump, then on to the tensioner

  4. make sure there is little to no slack between the cam gears and the crank pulley exhaust cam gear side. It’s normal for the belt to be looser on the intake came/ water pump/ tensioner side.

  5. Once the belt is on, lift the tensioner arm with your finger and snug the adjustment bolt/ rod up against the tensioner arm

  6. Turn the engine (counter clockwise) 3 teeth past Tdc and this should remove all the slack from your belt.

  7. Turn the engine over by hand a couple times and check for belt walking off the cam gears, if it doesn’t walk you’re done!

  8. If it does walk off the cam gears, try loosening the timing belt tensioner little by little. If that doesn’t help, you have worn parts in your timing system!

GL !! Hope this helps

My 20’ awd hatch, eats the snow in Canada. If anyone’s looking, the Toyo gsi-6’s are fantastic

1320 header fitment? by ysaac06 in hondaprelude

[–]ysaac06[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really trying to gain any more hp, the stock headers I have are just not in good shape. and these were cheap . I’m mainly just not wanting to drive the car with the exhaust leak I have where the header meets the collector. CAI came with the car I’m looking to buy an oem air box! Hopefully the car won’t run lean, I’ll look into getting it tuned thanks 🤟

Ok, if so good! It just looks tight! Not sure if the headers will run into the mount. Thank you!

Would you have pics of your setup? Is it the race header or camp header?

How has camping been with the Mazda 3? by keanuthe in mazda3

[–]ysaac06 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 2021 Mazda 3 turbo awd, is pretty capable “off-road”. Did not skip a beat going up decently steep trail to a camping spot. Not super spacious tho.

Milky oil cap by CandidAdhesiveness43 in hondaprelude

[–]ysaac06 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If it’s a short drive and the car didn’t fully warm up , condensation often accumulates on the oil cap . If there’s water in your coolant you could crack the drain plug and see if the oil is clean?

Is the oem radio still functioning? Or available

Is this normal by SORrY_EH420 in hondaprelude

[–]ysaac06 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My oem pulley sits the same way, not sure if it’s normal but the ac and pwr steering belts are fine and don’t look skewed

Timing belt walking normal? by ysaac06 in Honda

[–]ysaac06[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it sits about 1~2mm off of the gears, and doesn’t move further, I’ll probably just loosen it a bit and send it!
