timing belt questions
i was curiouse about installing a timing belt i was looking through a manual i downloaded and noticed they had the crank pully removed to put the belt on...is it possible to install the belt without removing the pully...and will a d15b2 timing belt work on a d16 ..im buying a new belt i was just curiouse

Re: timing belt questions
D16 belt does not fit a D15
you can do it with the crank pully on but you need to know what exactly you are doing. match the timing mark with the TDC mark and the pointer on the block cover. but i`d say it is a LOT easier with the pully off.

Re: timing belt questions
the reason i ask is iit is probably hard to remove the pully while the engine is in the car and i dont really have the experience with stuff like that....should i try installing the belt with the pully on or give it a wing and try to pull off the pully

Re: timing belt questions
right you dont have to remove it to take off a belt, just cut it.
but to put it on..
the crank pulley has to come off first, so the lower timing belt cover can be removed.
make sure you loosen the belt tensioner or unhook the spring.
read the service manual or haynes/chilton ones.

This link should help give you an idea of what's involved: http://www.c-speedracing.com/howto/timingbelt/tbelt.php
It's a writeup for a B engine, but it's pretty much the same thing (minus one cam)
Between that and a manual, you should be able to figure it out...
