19997 Accord EX timing belt woes

JMK3rd 8 April 2005 04:12:24
 Hi,
Against my better judgment, I had the timing belt/water pump replaced by a
'friend of a friend'. Now, the engine seems to be a bit down on power and
it's got a pretty noticeable vibration at speed.

I know...I already feel stupid... :)­

I took it back to the 'friend of a friend' and he rechecked to see if
everything was lined up. And..lo and behold...he says all is normal. UGH!

While I'd like to administer a baseball bat to his cranium, I know that
it's ultimately not worth it. So....

Any tips for a fellow Honda man?

It's gonna have to be 'opened up' again to reset the position of the
Timing belt, and the balance shaft belt is probably causing the
vibration (also out of time). Don't mess with the distributor timing to
correct it. It won't work.

Yes. Use an aluminum bat. For added effect, drill a hole in the handle
end and fill the bat with lead.

nah. sand, or water.

i hate working on other peoples cars, for just that reason. if i fsck
something up on my car, ive got 2 other vehicles. even a simple brake
job can turn into an ordeal if i dont have the service manual for their
vehicle. ive got a helm for mine, but most people done even have a
haynes, and wont buy one, so they trust me to wing it.
