It would be best to replace the engine, repairing it may be expensive and not that reliable.

SOURCE: 2008 honda accord replace rear brakes

no, 12mm wrench or ratchet on 12mm socket. the piston is tough to push back in. its a twist in type and you will need some force to push and twist the piston back in. - note rear brake pads wearing out on the new 08-09 accords are very common and if under 16-18 thousand miles it may be covered. honda knows about this problem

1999 honda accord camshaft position sensor replace on 2.3 litre vtec .. where is it located

1999 honda accord (gen 6) no problem told , dead engine/spark???????
NO country told but is this engine.(so I DO USA)!
2.3L (real hame H23 (something) your secret. NOT V6.sure.
if In uSA we ask you the VIN and the VIN is engine coded to the exact H engine there. (of the 5) the DOHC?
so if DOHC the first thing that come to mine is 2 CMP sensors or 2.
2 cam engines some have 2 CMP sensor. for far better park timing..
and varies by country, (smog rules not the same so.....) yeah none told.
our 2.3L is SOHC< not DOHC as some are.world wide. (dig)?
now answering only for USA spec, car 1999 , i read the SM service manual to you now
ok, this car as the old DISTRIBUTOR
and CMP is deep inside that, not fixed too any cam, at all
this car , this country this engine.
a seperate HV spark coil ,fitted deep inside DIZZY
an ICM module inside the Dizzy anD
CMP IS CALLED CYP HONDA. AND IS SHOW BELOW
IF THE pcm SCANS SHOW, P03XX CODE FOR CMP THIS DEAD
OR THE CAM BELT IS SLIPPED OR SNAPPED DEAD.
the belt on the cam never lasted 23 years ever.
so is bad that old, and when even slipped the PCM block spark
this honda engine is and INTERFERENCE engien, and must not be allowed to slip that belt or break or bend valves you will
All Honda engines are Interference except 3.0L & 3.2 which are Non-Interference.

if spark is dead, CYP is bad, or ICM or belt slipped/
do not run any honda like this , with a bad cam belt or go broke $$$$$

My wife drove my 1992 Honda Accord for approximately 4-5 miles with oil light on. Turns out the car was leaking.leaking its oil from timing chain area. Is there any engine damage?

Possibly, but I'd replace the leaking gasket/seal.
Also note, the Honda uses a timing belt (not a chain), and you don't want oil on the belt. If there's a chance the belt has gotten oil on it, you want to take the timing belt cover off, remove the belt, and clean all the oil covered parts. The oil can wear out the belt as well as cause the belt to slip timing

When accerating as I'm going up a hill, I hear a rattling noise and whisteling. I've had the car for two months and it just started today. I have a 1996 Honda Accord LX, I bought the car used.

If the car is well past 90,000 miles (144,000 km) you may have a worn timing belt. Clattering sounds are a warning sound that the timing belt is not controlling piston and valve movement correctly. Carbon build-up may be contributing to your symptoms, but the timing belt needs replacing urgently if it has not been replaced already in the lifetime of the car. Timing belt breakage results in serious damage to the engine. Repairing the damage usually means an expensive engine overhaul or engine replacement.

I have a 1990 Honda Accord DS,automatic. I took the car to a mechanic, because the car would crank, but not start. The mechanic found out the timing belt was in an incorrect position. He fixed the timing...

If the timing belt slips a tooth it will cause the crankshaft and the camshaft to be out of time together so it runs poorly or not at all. Most of the time the belt wont slip though it usually breaks. When that happens the engine can have allot of damage done to it internally. But if you're lucky and the pistons don't hit the valves you can add a new timing belt and fix the problem. You have to make sure that the new belt is timed in exactly right or it might not run but it sounds like he got it 1 tooth off or something wasn't put back the way it was before the fix.

Replace serpentine belts 95 accord lx 2.2L

While wearing safety goggles and engine switch off.

Your 95 Accord comes with a 2.2L (4 cylinder)
I believe the 2.2L has two belts: power steering and alternator (with or without A/C - different belt applications).
If you are replacing belts note the routing of each one..
. In any case these belts are not easy to replace . Each of the belts has its own manual tensioner. You should have pry bar or lever to push the tensioner back to release the tension on the belt.
There is not a lot of room to work between the pulleys and body of car (the engine is transversely mounted). Slip the belt off any pulley you can reach. Carefully release the pry bar on the tensioner pulley. To replace belt reverse the above step. Do not pinch or crimp the new belt.

You may also want to consider the timing belt also.
