Hi,

Are you able to keep it running? Also, how far did the timing jump? All but a couple of v6 Honda (3.0L and 3.2L) engines are interference engines. Something internally may have been damaged if the belt broke or jumped.

Do me a favor. Record it cranking and starting and upload it for me to hear.

I attached the directions for belt replacement below. Review them and see if there is anything you missed.

Let me know.

Take care,
Joe
