    Is is possible to perform a visual check of the 2001 Civic VTEC timing
    belt WITHOUT removing the valve cover ? To me, it looks like the
    plastic inspection
    cover cannot be removed without lifting at least the front of the
    valve cover
    about 1/4-inch ?

    spake unto the slack-jawed masses in

    "Checking" it likely won't tell you much. Are you within the time/mileage
    limits for timing belt change? That's the critical thing, not inspection.

    As far as how to check it, if the setup is anything like the B-series
    engines, you will need to remove the valve cover to inspect. You should be
    about due for a valve clearance check anyway.
