Timing belt

Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team! As they say in the magic and automotive business, timing is key! When turning the engine over by hand, it's typically done clockwise to check the timing belt alignment after replacement. This ensures that the engine rotates in the direction of normal operation. However, always refer to the vehicle's service manual for specific instructions regarding timing belt replacement procedures for your 2004 Honda Civic, as procedures may vary depending on the engine type and configuration. If you have any other questions, please call us at 877-913-1554! We'll gladly find you a certified RepairPal shop in your area!
