Replacing Timing Belt on '98 Odyssey
My '98 Odyssey has 158,000 miles on the original timing belt, and I'm
done tempting fate. Just two questions... #1. Any gotchas or special tools needed? #2. Anything else I should replace while I'm in there? |

Anything else I should replace while I'm in there? ----------------------------------- You are pushing your luck ! #1. http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/cranktool/index.html Your crankshaft pulley is the #1 variety, same as newer Accord / CR-V. #2 You'll change the balance shaft belt too, and maybe check the valves.

Replacing Timing Belt on '98 Odyssey
Yeah, you'll need to pulley holding tool, 1/2" 2ft breaker bar (like
the $9.99 one from HarborFreight.com, one for the bolt socket and the other for the holder tool). Water pump, cam seals, crank seal, and idler pulleys should be changed. Becareful if the pump is leaking. The leak will cause the idler bolt below the weep hole (stupid design, they should have routed it outside the timing cover) to seize and may break if you try to loosen it! Don't think that engine has a balancer belt. You may need a tensioner holder for the older style tensioner ~$10 at the dealer. I prefer Gates belts and hoses. Gates timing kit includes a timing belt, two pulleys and an instruction sheet at a good price. IMO better than the Mitsuboshi and Bando belts. www.gates.com Doug B wrote: > My '98 Odyssey has 158,000 miles on the original timing belt, and I'm > done tempting fate. > Just two questions... > #1.

Go over to www.odyclub.com and do some searches for all odyssey problems.
Changing the timing belt takes a little knowledge and good mechanical skills.

Unless it's more difficult than completely overhauling a Ford V-8, I don't think I'll worry about whether my mechanical skills are sufficient. |
