not too hard to do..... just make sure u take your time..... make sure u line up all of the timing marks and after ya get the belt tightened.... turn the engine over by hand a couple of revolutions..... not too hard of a job...... if your doin it in your driveway it will probly take about 5 hours if everything goes good... make sure u have and air gun for the crank bolt.... they can be hard to get movin

Thanks Doug do you know if any components need be remove to better access the area, also i heard it was prolly good to change the water pump at the same time, but the manual says to check, i dont know what to look for other than play in the bearings to tell if its getting bad, i'll prolly just do it as its recommended that far in to the job.

Isnt it a dual over head cam in her Honda...(interferance motor)
Wonder if it's anyting like my old Talon...is so the reason they say to replace the water pump at the same time is cause its no more labour cost to do it then....the water pump is right there...so its just the cost of the pump...and the 2min to take the whatever amount of bolts out
Thing I wonder about is if it has a hydrolic tensioner on it.....if so you gotta make sure you pre-tension the belt and THEN set the hydroc tensioner....
But like I said...I don't know if its the same

check the manual on both but i'd bet the civic tranny will take 5W30 and your f-250 case will take 75W90 but i'm not 100% on that cause its a crappy borg-warner they did weird things with them
