Re:busted my timing belt :(
 

itll say 100k's// not miles

Re:busted my timing belt :(
 

no sir spinx, k=1000, meaning 100,000 miles. i'm in the USA and the car was made by American Honda for that matter.

Re:busted my timing belt :(
 

yeah my haynes manual says to change the belt every 90k miles or every 72 months. I've always heard 60k though. :P

dry rotted.. sounds like it has been sitting out open in a field for a year or two.

I think you should be more fortunate that you didn't get any broken pistons versus bent valves.

Only sure way is to pull the head.

Good luck finding replacement valves.

Re:busted my timing belt :(
 

p28 valves (92 95 z6) should be the same as the po8 valves (92 95 d15b) i think

Re:busted my timing belt :(
 

on my jdm d15b... that dam crank gear bolt will not come off... I've tried two different heavy duty impact wrenches... many different times. one day that timing belt is going to own me. along with the pumps who are probably older than I am.

I use a 1 inch impact with a reducing adapter to get the crank blots off. I have a 650ft pound snap on impact I use everyday and get rebuilt once a year and it wont touch most honda crank bolts ??? Try a big truck tire store just get them to loosin it a bit, so you can go strait home. Once they crack free you can turn them buy hand, there just tighter than ----.

HAAA HAAAAa Got one of those plastic composite impact guns off the Matco tool truck an it ripps honda bolts off with ease.$$$$$ on lots of tools.Anyway the reason for the japan motors is not that its expensive to maintain there cars its the salt an ---- they add to the roads...Called rust.they have to have there cars safety inspected to keep them on the roads.Just like our emmissions ----.5 years an the body looks like a east coast car. :o They deem these unsafe so they take them off the road.They have guys over there just like our wrecking yards that pay lil money for there car an dismantle it an ship all the ---- here an resell it.They dont replace the engine when a tuneup is needed......Just inspect the belt if any signs of cracking your on borrowed time especially when you spin em 8k an bounce them off the rev limiter.Ever look at a t belt wound up to 6 or 8 k an :o see what enertia does to it?I have scarrry.Ill stay with my timing chain motor.....later all
