Hello,
I have bought Eric’s video on showing how to do the timing belt and it was of a great help to me! as this is my first timing belt change ever(n00be ).So i got #1 piston TDC everything line up, and i was able to take the camshaft bolt out. and lower T-belt cover, my issue is this now:
The camshaft sprocket marking (front and back ) and pulley, Distributor pointing #1 , and the flex point dead on while marking and are all TDC , except when i took the lower T-belt cover , noting is aligned ?!!!!
balance shaft, oil pump drive are not on time 🙁 Question 1:
How or what is the trick to get the car back on TDC after loosen the Crankshaft bolt. (option #1 if i got clockwise am tighten the bolt back on ! “I tried it and i had to stick the hoes again to loosen it back” . option #2 is to go Anti-clockwise which unscrew the bolt before i can get it to TDC)Here is a video i took to show what i am seeing with this problem:

So where is the link for this video so I can buy it? I have a 90 Accord LX. The belt was done by a Honda certified with the previous owner at 107k miles. The car has 152k miles now. Recommended change is at 90k. I just want it when the time comes.
As soon as I get a job, I am going start replacing old parts like bushings and stuffs. I want to revamp this car.Thanks.
Eric’s video is worth every penny for a DIYer wanting to replace a timing belt(s) for a four cylinder Accord of that generation. Just follow the video exactly and you can’t go wrong.
It’s on this page where it says Video Manuals: http://www.ericthecarguy.com/tools.aspx?tid=7
I wish I have a garage or a storage space that I can work on my car. That way, on big jobs like this, I could take my time to do it in 2 days. The apt complex where I live don’t allow big job with parts every where.
Working in the apartment complex is the worst, you might want to look into finding out if your town has one of those places where you can take your car and work on it yourself like in this news report.

Hey Eric, that link you gave us, does that hot Sport Illustrated chic included? LMAO.
I have a friend with a house and an almost empty garage. He’s 20 minutes from my apt. But I hate going over there as he has no tools what so ever and if I forget some thing, I can’t get the job done that same day. I rent a storage 10X10 to put my junk and my wife’s junk in there. All of my cheap tools are there. So I have to make a trip every time before a job. My apt manager and I are pretty tight. I fixed her computer a few times so she’s pretty cool with me. It’s funny my wife asked for a new toilet and she said no. A week later, I went out fixed her computer and got us a new toilet, the whole apt painted, new carpets, bathroom clean, new sink and new faucets. My wife totally trusts me. If it was my ex gf, she would have gone crazy thinking me the manager was into some thing.
I am just adding stuffs to my knowledge. Just like Run DMC said, Knowledge is King. I learn about computers, I can build a computer with eyes closed. I’ll fix anything that is a PC. I learned about Mac. Car repairs and now working smart phones. I got an MD degreed but my license expired. I gave that up as there was too much politic in treating patients now days. I was pretty close to moving to England where you get more hands on patient contacts. I think I am going to save up for my MBA soon. I want to get a government job.
