Preciate the video. There are a lot of engine components that need to be removed before you even get to the timing belt. Now I see why the labor costs a lot.
Thanks man. There are lots of parts that need to be removed to access the timing belt.
After almost 170K miles in my 2012 Acura TL 3.5L I took it to the mechanic to get the timing belt replaced. Of course he replaced water pump and what ever kit comes with all that. He did a really good job. I have always kept up with maintenance and have always used synthetic oil and so far thanks to GOD no check engine or any lights on the dashboard. Honda does well with their brand.
You’re right. Keeping up with maintenance is the key to long lasting vehicle. 🙌🙌🙌😊. Thanks for sharing Lilpelusa. I have one with 120k now lolz
How much did he charge to replace the belt?
@@edd7ieeI believe my mechanic charged me about $800 Dollars including the parts I mentioned plus the Labor.
did yout notice that car felt quicker or was it the same?
@@adrianmontoya4404 it felt normal to me. Just stopped the rattle noice it was making before. I always used synthetic oil during my tune ups so it’s was always at 💯
DID IT, I’d be lost without your video THANKYOU! Still was a pain, I had to take to a mechanic to remove the crankshaft bolt, and took me 3 days to get into everything. And that damn rear camshaft was snapping back and forth FAST
Yep, the crank pulley bolt is tough to remove. Great work, you did it. I’m glad the video is helpful. Good to connect with you here ✌️
Great video. Love the still photos embedded into the video. People don't realize how much work goes into editing videos.
Thanks Trap_The_Ripper. Appreciate your kind comments. Great to connect with you 👋🙌👍
Looking at buying a 2012 3.7 and as I do most of the maintenance on my vehicles myself decided to see the process on this before purchasing. I would say this is probably above my skill level. I appreciate the video Incase I ever get ballsy enough to try it myself!
Hi Anon, thanks for your feedback.
I personally own one and love it 👍👍😀. You’re right, It’s a bit evolving to do this project. Let’s me know how it goes if you ever try to do it
Thanks for your video. A fellow Viet here. We just bought a used 2012 Acura TL 3.5L with 94K miles. I did some light maintenance on it (changed oil & filter, spark plugs) but the timing belt is beyond my skill level. Took it to an independent shop this morning to get the timing belt and water pump replaced. After watching your video, I think the mechanic definitely earned his money.
Thanks for the kind comment. Good to connect with you. Congratulations on your ride. I personally has one too, 2012 Acura TL 🙌🏻. It is a good good car, love the way these cars and drive.
how much did it cost you if you dont mind me asking....thanks
@@Bryannacol The independent mechanic charged me $900 + tax for parts & labor to replace the timing belt, tensioner, seals, water pump (all parts in an Aisin Timing Belt kit), change coolant. Local Acura quoted me $1600 + tax without replacing the water pump.
@@IFLY152II thank you bro....💯
What he charge u
Great video,I would do it myself if it weren’t sooooo hot in Tampa but I will take it to a shop and see how much they will charge,
Awesome video. Love the energy and knowledge!
Thank you kindly for the comment, Jason!
It's very important where they put that timing at I know a lot of people that did this themselves and man they messed their cars are bad.
Thanks Jason. You're 💯. Timing is very critical for the engine to run properly. When installed incorrectly, it could lead to the engine not running or major failure.
It's ridiculously outrageous going to the dealership getting this done the average price now is like 1700 I definitely want to do my next time you know if I keep this car.
It’s a great car. Still have mine 😀 2012
Nice video a couple years ago I bought a 12 TL 3.5 wit 55k mi now I’m pushing 97k and am looking to do this bcuz spending $1,300 is out of the question especially since the kit is so cheap. Will definitely tackling this since the days are longer now here in Cali
Yes brother, the day is longer and beautiful in Cali. Except the rainy days. Lolz Take your time, do it. It takes 2-5hrs with some mechanical skill 👌
Just working people see it, just talk around hard understand !
Thanks for the video. Always nice to brush up on a job before tackling it. I've done tons of services on various makes and models. Looks like a 3hr-4hr job in the driveway for this vehicle.
When you pulled the crank bolt without a weighted socket on the 3/8 impact I was impressed. Did you preloosen it? Or did it just come loose that easily. 🤔
Either way. Great job on video.
Straight to the point! Thanks again.
Thanks for your kind comment. Yes, it was 3-4hrs job. It was pre-loosen with weighted socket. Honda crank pulley bolt is very tight after miles. It was 1/2 impact though 😀
Great to connect with you 👋🙌
@@huunwheels7378 that's what I thought you pre loosened it. I always have use weighted socket and 1/2 impact on Honda crank bolts.
Do you know what tool I need for the timing belt tensioner? I see it’s an Allen key but not sure how this adapts to a socket wrench or the size it needs
If it the drive belt or serpentine belt tensioner, It’s a 6mm Allen wrench which you can get one with socket style. Hope that’s help AMP.
The timing belt tensioner would be 2x 10mm bolts.
The kit in your description only comes with the water pump and timing belt no gaskets. Do I need any gaskets or anything else other than the timing belt, water pump, and tensioner?
timing belt, water pump, timing belt tensioner are good. No gaskets needed for timing belt retirement.
When I changed the timing belt on my 2011 MDX, the rear cam sprocket moved after barely touching it. I moved it back to where it was (guessing) and was really nervous when i cranked the engine after I was done. Car ran fine. Do you recommend zip tying the sprockets so they dont move while working on the car?
Great job JC, that did the trick if it just moved a little, you could move it back, there's cam locked, but never use it though.
At 27:21 , any tips on getting the camshaft bolt out? Mine wont break loose and keeps rotating the camshaft counterclock wise, not sure if it would hurt the engine rotating it counterclockwise with the belt on.
Break the camshaft bolts loose while the timing belt is still on to hold them in place. Also, use the weighted crankshaft socket on an impact gun rated to 650+ lbs breakaway torque.
Thanks Smazzy for the tip.
That’s one way, using the weighted crankshaft socket. Or you can use the crankshaft pulley holder.
My dude, thank the fuck you for this video. Wish I'd had this 3 years ago when i did my first 100k minder. Rest assured ill have this when i hit 2 and can do this shit myself rather than shell out $1200
Lolz, thanks. That’s great comment brotha. I’m glad the video is helpful and great to connect with you 👋🙌👍
I have a garage and debatting on doing this myself. How many hours does this usually take for someone with decent mechanic skills.
With decent mechanic skill, It usually takes 2-5 hours to do this 😃.
Thanks for the video buddy do you have a shop I have 2014 TL 3.7 will you work on mine I’ll tell you let me know thank you
Hello Z, I’ve been not working in a shop for a couple months due to current situation. Thanks for reaching out thou. Good to connect with ya. Which city are you at? If possible, I can refer you to.
@@huunwheels7378 Thank you appreciate I’m in Minneapolis Minnesota
Let me follow you on Snapchat
Lolz, that’s out of my extend reach, Im CA
Im on instagram
Crank pully reverse threads?
Hi Jon, it’s normal threads 👍
@@huunwheels7378 thanks, getting that bolt loose was the hardest part. I had to sacrifice the serp belt, my electric impact wouldn't do it, and the compressor my cuzs husband had wasn't powerful enough
Hi anh where your shop at?
Hi James, I stop working in the shop now. But I am still passionate about sharing my knowledge with others. Great to connect with you ‘em👍👍👍🙌🙌 if you have questions or comment let’s me know. I will do my best to answer or get you an answer for it!
I was quoted$ 700 to replace those(water pump and the belt) with parts included. I have to check out another mechanic
Lol they quoted me like $1200
My mechanic charged me 700 including parts. I think it’s a little below average price. But even if it’s higher than 700 as long as the mechanic does a good job
I liked your singing dude. Made the timing belt reveal more exciting 😁. What engine is that btw, 3.5 or 3.7?
Lolz, thanks man, gotta make it fun, right. 🤣
It’s a 3.5. Add to that, both 3.5 and 3.7 are very similar. Hope that is helpful.
Good to connect with ya brotha Lopez! 🙌🏻
You could pretty much use this video for all J-series V6 engines (sans the new J30AC Turbo in the TLX Type-S).
@@MrSamPhoenix thanks! Replaced the T belt on my 3.7 and it is exactly the same... Just less space in the bay
@@supersabrosinho no problem bro, it’s pretty much the same for all versions of the 4th-Gen Acura TL (3.5L & 3.7L, 2009-2014). I’m about to do this job on my 2010 either this weekend or the next.
How long does the take
It takes some time between 2-4hrs for this project, Joe.
@@huunwheels7378 I was thinking about doing myself in one day
So you don’t have a jack to hold the engine?
Hi Nyno, you don’t have to
No way you pulled crank pulley without breaker bar
Breaker bar would be last resource : )
Power tool was used at the shop! 😀
@@huunwheels7378what power tool did u use?
@@LIFE-Michigan air impact gun with impact socket to remove the crank pulley bolt.
Too complicated, and time consuming.
Yes, you’re right. There’s steps to get it done right. I haven’t found a short cut yet. 🙂
