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!!!!
