Guys, keep the spam out please.

reminds me of duc p Nguyen

Hey guys thanks for all the responses! Sorry i haven't checked this thread in a while, my dad says his going to give it a go, so far his purchased the whole timing belt/water pump set along with the honda pulley removal tool. I think his going to work on it sometime next month, will keep you guys posted if i need any help.

Also can somebody explain why it may be necessary to remove the right engine mount? Trying to convince my dad it is because all the DIY's i've seen all removed it and he believes he can do it without removing it.

if he can do it without removing engine mount his name would be david copperfield

I'll foot $100 on top of your bet, so make it $200, PM me for my bank deets

it's because the timing belt goes around the mount... if that makes sense... the mount attaches somewhere between the cam gear and the crank, etc... so, you need to take it off so you can get around it... That being the worst explanation for it
