Hey guys!
Hello from Canada. I am new to the board, and what brought me here is my newly recently acquired 1982 Honda Accord. It is a hatchack, original 80,000 km's and with almost no rust. An older lady owned the car for 27 years and literally only drove it to buy groceries. Interior is all red and in pristine condition. I hope to post some photos once the weather gets warmer here in Toronto.
Any who, i've been spending the last few weeks obtaining a ton of parts to just get her essentially brand new since it is a 31 year old car. Now the biggest problem I've been having is the timing belt and water pump. Apparently from 82-83 the Canadian version of the accord came with an EL 1.6 motor while all the USDM versions had a 1.8L motor. I purchased a timing belt and water pump from an ebay seller not knowing that it is for a 1.8 USDM motor. I've been searching high and low for a 1.6 EL timing belt and water pump but have come up with absolutely nothing.
Now my questions is does anyone know if the timing belt and water pump for a USDM second gen 1.8 motor is the same for a Canadian/Euro 1.6 EL motor?
Thanks you! Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Chris
