Whats up fellas!
I do mechanic work at my house as a hobby and have changed many 92-95 and 96-00 civic head gaskets, they are pretty easy. I have an 01 civic EX and it seems to be a bit different. With the EK's i can just loosen the bolt on the tensioner, pull up on the timing belt and slip the timing belt off the cam. Doesn't seem like i can do the same with an 01 is that correct? The timing belt, water pump and tensioner were replaced recently so i am trying not to touch those, just slip the timing belt off the cam and go about changing the head gasket like i would an ek. Just making sure if this is or is not possible and if i absolutely have to remove everything just to get the head off?!? Thanks!
