      I am going to change the timing belt, water pump, crank seal and cam seal on my 91 Civic sedan 1.5L.

      I will be asking newbie questions as I go along. Here are some of my questions:

      1. Before removing the engine mount on the driver side, I need to support the engine with a hydraulic jack. I will have a 2×4 between the jack and the engine. Is the oil pan strong enough to support the weight of the engine? If not, where should I put the 2×4 and hydraulic jack.

      2. In order to remove the upper timing belt cover, I need to raise the valve cover a bit. Do I need to remove the spark plugs in order to raise the valve cover?

      3. Should I change the cam seal and crank seal if they are not leaking?

      4. Do I need to drain the engine oil first before replacing the cam and crank seal? I changed the engine oil 3 weeks ago!!!!

        I guess I find the flywheel cover attached to the front(I think) of the transmission. But the weather is getting too cold (-15 deg C) to work in an unheated garage. I have to wait for next warm weather before working on it again.

          Yep, that’s it. You’ve got some stuff to remove but it’s not that bad. Once removed you’ll see where you can put a pry bar or equivalent in there to keep the engine from rotating.

          Perhaps this can help in identifying engine parts in the future.

            Thank you for the engine overview. When the time come, I will be looking for a flex plate instead of a flywheel as my Civic has an automatic transmission.
