2008 - 2016 Honda Start Rattle , VTC actuator fix
If you get a rattle that last a few seconds in the morning this might be the fix. 2008-2016 Honda CRV, Accord.
Compression spring size:
7/32 x .025 x 1-3/8 long
To remove the 5 point special torx box I used a small vice grip to break them loose then unscrewed them by hand. I also replaced them to 10mm bolts for better and fast access. I’ll be making a video showing the process.
This is a rough guide. Use it to give you an idea of the steps of the procedure. And make sure not to drop anything into the engine! Many holes and crevices where the spring can bounce into. So proceed with caution and take your time.

    Wow next lvl shade tree don’t do this unless assisting bc you already messed up and stripped the torque head, just use the correct size in a 3/8 ratchet for more leverage if needed. Please learn proper mechanical practices keep the bit 💯 square and push the back of the ratchet head to keep it set while braking loose don’t let it slip this is a very easy job.

    My 2014 CRV replace VTC,chain, bolt, tensioner, etc. 2 years ago at dealer. There wasn’t any rattle before. Code comes up, dealer replace solenoid work for 6 months, then replace whole VTC package. However, 2 years later rattle sound comes up, and I follow your step replace spring, rattle sound just gone. Thank you for your video.

    lmao… what nonsense. There’s a reason why you see two different CRV’s in the beginning, because the second one (blue one) started when already warmed up (no noise when warm). The one being worked on (gray one) doesn’t start up immediately after it was done because it would still make the noise lol. It doesn’t work, noise comes right back.

    @alextalevski8282 Рік тому

    Dont liseten to this pendejo!!! Your instructions are decent but your whole method is fucked up, when you use a wrench to try to turn the sprocket on the intake and you have a loose timing chain what you end up doin is you jump the chain and then when you put shit back together your timing is off... At best you will need a new timing chain and shit put back together, at worst you bend some valves and then you will need either a new head or a complete egine!!!! Then you end up having 3 times the amount of work you would have needed over taking the front right wheel off and using the crankshaft bolt to turn the chain over and getting all the bolts off !!!!!!!

    • @caseyalexander2244
      @caseyalexander2244 Рік тому

      Update: replace the security bolts with regular hex head bolts. If you use the ones marked 10.9 on the head, torque them down to 10 ft. lbs / 120 in. lbs and use blue threadlocker - the kind made to work on oily parts. If you use another grade of bolt, marked 8.8 for example, the torque spec will be less. You need to look up the maximum torque value for the hardware you select. The important thing is that the bolts ARE torqued to near maximum spec. These are NOT bolts you want coming undone while the engine is running!!!

    • @caseyalexander2244
      @caseyalexander2244 Рік тому

      It's not much, but to find out, take your torque wrench and set it to 5 ft. lbs. and try to break them free. That won't work, but it's where to start, because you will try again and go up 1 ft. lb. until they break free. Whatever is the setting that broke them free is what you need to tighten them back to.

      @AmritBanks 2 роки тому

      @@Daniel-xq7ny Not many but stretching the spring does not increase its uncompressed force significantly so there's little to no risk. It may not even fix your issues because the spring returns to its original shape with heat. The biggest risk is dropping something into the engine while the valve cover is off. TBH you could either live with the rattle, try this fix, or replace the VTC altogether. Depending on your mileage and service history, you may have luck using an engine flush additive and fresh oil change. The VTC has tight tolerances so any gunk/debris can reduce oil flow and/or ability return to the locked position. YMMV
