that crank bolt was a pain to get loose
nice car to work on apart from that!
there is more room on the cam side of the engine bay due to fact there is no power steering pump

Crankshaft seal replaced, new water pump fitted, manual tensioner parts fitted.
Then got my mechanic mate down to fit the belt. Lucky if it took him 3 minutes
Just waiting on honda getting another balance shaft seal for me as I damaged the new one trying to fit it.

So far so good. Definitely feels as good if not better than before so no complaints there.
Thanks for all your help.

Thats great news
I think you got all that work done just in time
Ive had a look at the water pump that came off the car and it looks to me like it was leaking quite a bit past the seal at the top- maybe that explains the white powder down that side of timing belt side of the block and the fact it took a load of coolant to top up

Safe to say they've seen better days

Hopefully getting tracking done tomorrow.
