Upper Cover Timing Belt--Broken Bolt Housing...& Misc
Missing Parts! Important For Finishing Timing Belt Replacement Project???Mod, please move if this doesn't fall under "urgent" sub-forum. I would want to know if I need replacement parts now while I have all timing belt related parts removed and need to get the car running tomorrow.
Model: see signature Issue #1: The timing belt front upper cover is usually attached by 2 bolts to the rear/back upper cover [=BUC, which is between the cylinder head and the cam sprocket]. The front part [bolt area towards the radiator side] can no longer be bolted because the plastic sleeve/housing/tab of the BUC broke. The BUC houses the bolt's metal barrel that secures the bolt. The BUC costs alot for just a stupid plastic back cover plate. Would there be any issue if that left bolt tab area is without a bolt attached in the long term? So, the front upper cover would only be secured with only one bolt [located towards the firewall side] remaining. Issue #2: The rubber seal around the tensioner main nut is missing. Would this be a problem? Illustration Pictures of Parts below: *Very annoying, new members can't include external link. Also, very frustrating experience here of attaching any image [e.g. size quota, but my attachment was clearly under maximum limits] Illustration Pictures of Parts: https://www.hondapartsnow.com/Page_P...-belt&Diagram= item #3 11820-P0A-000 Cover, Timing Belt (Upper) item #4 [BUC] 11830-PAA-800 Cover, Timing Belt Back *the area affected is the bolt hole to the left of #16 item #22 tensioner adjusting nut rubber seal ---------------------------------- In care of...2000 Accord EX 2.3L sedan F23a4 |

OT: curious if this is bad for anything if I turn on the engine, while many parts are removed [timing, balancer & accessory drive belts, pulley tensioners, balancer drive & belt pulleys,]. I might have to wait for my brother to get some parts at the dealership and get a couple things done. I might want to heat up the engine and open up the heater core to drain possibly more coolant as well as help drain the oil for an oil filter change. |
