How to Install a Timing Belt on a 91 Honda Accord

The timing belt replacement on a 1991 Honda Accord requires removal of the balancer shaft belt. The timing belt regulates the rotation of the crankshaft and camshaft inside this models 2.2-liter engine. Timing belts should be replaced every 105,000 miles to prevent engine damage as a result of the valves colliding with the pistons if the belt breaks. This damage is both difficult and costly to repair.

Instructions

1

Align the two timing marks on the crankshaft sprocket with the correlating arrows on the engine block.

2

Position the timing belt over the crankshaft on the side with no tension, then lead it over the camshaft sprocket, staying on the same side. Continue threading the belt in front of the water pump pulley, then pull it behind the tensioner, ending at the crankshaft sprocket again.

3

Twist the tensioner nut counterclockwise to apply tension on the belt. Adjust the nut by twisting it clockwise to keep the tensioner in its position.

4

Thread the balancer shaft belt over the crankshaft, then around the lower timing belt cover. Set up the crankshaft pulley and rotate the crankshaft counterclockwise six times.

5

Unbolt the crankshaft pulley and lower timing belt cover, then pull the balancer shaft belt off of the crankshaft sprocket.

6

Rotate the crankshaft counterclockwise until you can see three of the camshaft sprocket teeth move past the timing mark. Turn the tensioner nut counterclockwise to add tension to the timing belt.

7

Torque the tensioner nut to 33 foot-lbs. with the torque wrench. Secure the tensioner locking bolt by turning it clockwise until it can go no farther.
