Re: newbie timing belt question
I don't think it's possible. Never heard of it being done.
Just so you know, timing chains also need to be replaced. Chains stretch and wear like any other component in an engine. |

Re: newbie timing belt question
Set your engine TDC on cylinder 1, and check all your timing marks befor belt removal.

Re: newbie timing belt question
Sure you could but why would you want to? There are no parts on the market to do it so you would be spending a fortune to engineer the parts. If you want a Honda with a timing chain buy a newer one.
