Re: Timing Belt Movement - Normal?
Honda's will do that because the timing belt tension is fixed, so over time the belt will stretch and then you have slop, and the belt flap between the cam gears is the exhaust cam is trying to turn forward and the intake cam is trying to turn backwards.
This will also be noticed if the motor stops in the right place, the cams will turn into each other and the tensionor will compress. My car likes to do this, so I just turn the cam gears by hand and the slop goes away.
