Archived from groups: alt>autos>honda (more info?)

Chilton's says to install cylinder head, piston #1 should be at top
dead center while the camshaft pulley reads "UP". This sounds pretty
simple to me. However, I have a friend who's a mechanic and he insists
that I remove the crankshaft pulley in order to see the timing
sprocket, which also has marks that need to be lined up correctly. I
would be okay with that, too, if the crankshaft bolt wasn't installed
at 180 ft. lbs. of torque. My air compressor and impact gun don't do
the trick. I've also tried heating the bolt. The next method I'll
employ is removing the starter to access the flywheel, which I can have
my neighbor brace with a prybar while I jump from the roof onto the
two-foot lead pipe slid onto the rachet. Before I do this, my
questions are:

a) Is there a way to have everything lined up absolutely correctly
without having to remove the crankshaft pulley?

b) Any more suggestions on removing the crankshaft bolt?

Thanks.

yes, buy and use the pulley holder tool like it says in the book. go to
tegger.com and look for details. you may find you local dealer rents
them out.

Already been to the rental place....the 250lb. electric impact wrench
that tegger.com recommends didn't work for me. The chilton's manual
doesn't say anything about a pulley tool.

"you may find you local dealer rents them out." note the word *DEALER*.
as in your local honda honda dealer may rent the proper honda tool out.

that's because it's utter carp. the money you wasted on that lining for
a parrot's cage could have been put towards the tool rental.

The crankshaft pulley should have four marks on it. The
white one is TDC. Align it with the pointer on the timing
belt cover, per
http://media.honda.co.uk/car/owner/media/manuals/ConcertoManual/62sk301/5-21.pdf

Otherwise, resources on how to break free a Honda pulley

Don't pull the crank pulley, the mark on the cover is fine. line it
up with the white mark and put the head on. the belt can be tensioned
by pulling the plug out of the lower cover and accessing the bolt.
I've done a countless number of these this way. tell your mechanic
friend that the white mark on the outside is just as reliable as the
one on the inside.
