Timingbelt

This is a fairly complicated job I will get that out front right off the bat, unless you are at a minimum of intermediate skill in regards to auto repair I wouldn't advise it , the reason is these dual cam cars require much more precision when it comes to lining up the cam sprockets and crankshaft sprocket, I recently serviced a 2001 Honda CRV which involved a replacement timing belt/water pump (it is recommended you do both the belt and pump at the time of servicing) the timing mark at the crank sprocket was not marked in a precise manner so after reassembling the car did it not run right I rechecked the mechanical timing with the crankshaft pulley notch to the timing range marks on the front cover and found the mechanical timing to be off one tooth I had to take the front of the engine apart again and use the crankshaft pulley and front cover assembly as a timing line up reference guide instead of the marks provided on the engine block and sprocket, so you see even a skilled mechanic that has worked on cars for 25 years doing major engine repairs can run into problems with these newer cars. I am not saying you shouldn't attempt this job at all what I am saying is you should have a Haynes repair manual beside you to guide you through the job step by step and use the experience I had to do the job right the first time instead of doing it a number of times be very meticulous in regards to lining up crankshaft, cam sprockets and above all be sure you have the motor at TDC firing stroke, which means both intake and exhaust valves are shut when the crankshaft pulley mark line up to zero number on the timing cover plate near the crank pulley at the beginning of the job before disassembly.
