Did you do the water pump at the same time ?

you NEED the manuals, if for no other reason . . the torque specs. If you don't torque your crank pulley correctly it'll come off, or of it's too tight cause problems. The hardest part is the crank pulley without the proper tools, everyone has their own secret. My buddy rests socket wrench from the pullet against the frame, then cranks the car over once, enough to loosen it. Works smarter not harder. On my crx I just held a scredriver in a tooth of the pulley itself, and then used all my might.

It's not difficult, but accuracy is extremly important. Your torque specs or timing bad, then you're toast. BGB is WELL worth the money, step by step walkthrough really helps.

I am doing that this winter, but I'm doing a head swap because my valve seals are gone, so I'm gonna pull the engine and do the clutch, head, timing belt and water pump all at once, so I won't have to again for 90K.
