Here is my link to how I did this on my Civic (write up with pics):

I did a quick search for vids, but found none on your gen Civic. Yours is very similar to mine. Compare the instructions in the post above this one with my pics... that's all you'll need. Btw, reading the marks off the crank can be a PITA because of angles and obstructions. Be patient!

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
