did the previous owner change timing belt or something...?

to me sounds like its the missing or misplaced washer for the lower timing belt gear..

time to get your hands dirty...

murphy660

yes that's what i was saying p.o. replaced it. was slipping off some and rubbing and found i out it was not oem so me and a friends swapped it all out today. but still slips off bad (as soon as cranked), so the washer is the prob?

Bent tensioner?

ok so i took it all back apart, took off crank pulley and crank gear... there's suppose to be a washer on both sides of the crank gear? there's none... tensioner doesn't look bent but imma replace anyways... but there's suppose to be a washer on each side?

edit: there is one of the washers on the engine side... but none on the other side of the crank gear. is that the problem?

Yes, there should be one on both sides. It kinda centers the belt, its not flat.

haha wow i hate buying cars from peeps who don't know what they're doing.... so i just need the other one? hell imma replace tensioner just for preventative maintenance too then.

p.s. thanks everybody. tried honda-tech seems there would be info there... didn't find shit. my best source was actually honda's diagrams

i should go snap a pic of the damage it did. it ate threw the damn covers like perfectly

ah ok. the washers they seem to be different on either side does it matter which way it goes? tensioner rolls straight etc... should i still replace it?
