Same topic – Different Car / Issue (2006 Accord V6)
Unfortunately I have run into a snag with my timing belt replacement. I am encountering resistance when manually turning the crank after replacing the water pump, idler, tensioner pulley, tensioner, and timing belt. I verified that the cam and crank alignment marks were correct before and after the replacement. I marked the old belt, transferred the marks to the new belt, verified the cam and crank were still aligned, installed the new belt, and then verified alignment before and after pulling the tensioner pin. I then manually turned the crank clockwise expecting to go six rotations to re-verify the alignment but soon encountered resistance. I pulled all six plugs to rule out compression. I do not believe this to be cam spring tension resistance as it feels to solid.
Do you have any thoughts, advice, or recommendations? I’m thinking I should pull the belt and reset the timing but not sure of a safe procedure to follow to accomplish this. The picture is post belt replacement.
Many thanks in advance…
