@@BenG1776 I will actually be doing a video on this exact swap in the near future. When installing on an 07-11, you have to use springs from an 03-06, as well as the upper spring seat. Same as the 03-06 you need the 02-06 CRV outer tie rod ends.

@@classicautomotivenc great. I'll have to check back in for that info.

@@johnmorin2371 email sent and yes. The oil pressure switch screws into the top of the spool valve. The round connector attaches to it. I think oil is going to be the answer on yours

@@ThatsBananasFilms so Honda actually calls that a Drain Tube Joint in the parts catalog. Fits 03-11 and the part number is 17745-SCV-A01.

@@DGSantaFe maybe take a video of it. Hit us up on IG or FB @classicautomotivenc

@@dannyboy632 are you replacing the plugs? We offer a set of sealed plugs if you need them (reach out on Instagram @classicautomotivenc).

@@HotRod-wv4vm I do not but could possibly do one. Hopefully the link I sent in IG will get you rolling

@ Thanks very helpful. I am actually going to order it on black Friday cause as of now they are pretty much within $1-2 depending on where you buy from. Hopefully someone will have a safe but definitely going OEM. A video would be awesome for many people as I have yet to find one and unfortunately Accords, Civics are different

@@dannyboy632 WD does supposedly stand for water displacement. I would use Berrymans electronic cleaner though and then some compressed air to blow it out.

@@MrJayBee8 glad it helped

@@shanechostetler9997 it’s mostly Element related because of water intrusion. In my experience the Accord’s and CRVs only struggle with it if the oil isn’t changed regularly.

@@shanechostetler9997 it might work for a while or just send it back and bite the bullet and go to Honda. But unless your oil pressure switch is leaking out of the top, it likely is not bad and you could put a new gasket on it. If it’s an Element, upgrade the oil and use the sealed pigtail that we offer and I’d bet it goes away.

@@HotRod-wv4vm glad to do this video. If I was in a northern state where rust was a major issue, I definitely would have too

@ yea I live in NYC

@@rvdreamer8855 the stem for the plate cover is too short? Not understanding what that means? If you’re talking about the stud that we mount the water shed plate to? It’s plenty long enough. I no longer apply Hondabond to the connectors, I completely seal them as seen in our latest video showing the spool valve connectors that we build in our shop.

@@snorjb1 yes the ATF acts as a cleaner. I would still recommend changing to an OE Spool Valve and then replacing the connectors to the spool valve as well. We offer those connectors, new OE connectors that have been sealed permanently. Contact us on IG or Facebook if you are interested in a set.

@@snorjb1 and after 1-2 oil changed you can switch to straight 5w30. Also make sure to use a Honda genuine oil filter.

@@Jgregt and it sleeps very well. I spent about 45 days in it this summer while helping on the Appalachian Trail. It’s been great.

@@allthingsme9810 definitely something we can remedy. Will likely need the works to fix it.

I have same exact problem after the heavy rain but I am able to drive without any problem except engine light and VSA light came on. If I turn the engine off and restart, VSA light goes off, but it comes back within next 20 minutes most time. Did you be able to repair and how? I watched whole video 3 times. I like to know how did you fix this problem?

@ your specific issue will require you to replace the connectors to the spool valve. Look through our channel and you’ll see that we make these connectors and offer them on our Instagram page @classicautomotivenc

@@omega_discgolf check us out on Instagram or Facebook @classicautomotivenc We do offer a lot of products for this issue with Elements. So please feel free to reach out.

@@enjoiskateboardingSB I’ll second valve adjustment especially on the Element as it operates at higher RPM than the Accord/CRV

@@Samoan_D well since this channel isn’t monetized, I can’t afford a cameraman. So it is what it is. Seems to have helped other Element owners though. Maybe I need a volunteer camera person with good equipment. Lol

@@ray32825 Bilsteins are the best suspension I’ve ever seen on an Element. Had KYB, BC Racing, the Flatout coil overs, Monroe’s, and other cheap aftermarket coilovers, and even brand new OE Honda. Bilstein is the best by a wide margin.

@@davidkdanielson the 1” spacers are needed with the swift spring upgrade. Swifts on stock struts have a more rigid feel to them. Not nearly as controlled as the Bilstein rear struts. Which aren’t horribly expensive.

Changed it David! Thanks Brother! Great video. Cranks like a charm now.

@@jeffmaxwell7041 yes they are. Apologies, I’ve been doing hurricane relief here in North Carolina.

@@Ty_ThatGuy Hahahhaha hilarious

@@classicautomotivenc 🤣🤣🤣

Please tell me more. I have a07 pilot. I have tried everything.

@@emjohtrader watch the video. About halfway through he talked about using automatic transmission fluid to clean out the engines. That’s what worked for me.

@@drbyers I will try that. It is driving me crazy

@@emjohtrader do it before every oil change that way to clean out the possible

After everything changing the oil trying an aftermarket vtec solenoid using seafoam nothing worked. I disassembled the OEM VTEC solenoid that was on my car changed all the gaskets went to the junkyard got a few vtec solenoid oil pressure switches ( just unscrewed them and took the swtches) and I would switch them and see if that was the issue eventually one of them worked, the code went off by itself and the VSA light also went out. Lesson learned keep your oil very clean and at the right level and only use Honda OEM VTEC solenoids. The most likely failure is the oil pressure switch portion on the vtec, so there is no point in buying the whole thing even if you're buying new if you can find an oem switch that should fix it but it is hard to find these new, so you're better off visiting your local junkyard because if you find that one is not working you can just take it back easy get a another till you find one that works.

@@veronikh7613 you’re welcome

@@MrZombieveteran I’ve found that the drain backs can get gunked up and Lucas could cause the oil to drain back slowly or it could clog up the screens front and rear on your engine. Again, those are “could”’s. But if the issue showed up after putting Lucas in it, then it is highly likely the two are associated. I’d drain it, put in 4 qts of Rotella T4 10w30 with a half quart of ATF3 and change again 3,000 miles later.

The slight grinding/buzzing sound in the steering column (that can be heard in the video) is the indicator that it is the switch and not the starter itself.

Happens when the switch is slightly engaged or not fully turned. As it gets worse the buzzing happens more often and eventually results in a full no start condition.

Or just manually bump or jump the starter from under hood either with hand starter switch or watch more videos how to jump starter from under hood

@@onesecureone only issue with the Element K24 is that the starter is under the intake manifold and the upper plenum is generally removed to access the starter. With the switch in the Element though, it will generally buzz when it is at fault. It is a pattern failure.

@@audioworkshop1 we have almost of the supplies needed in stock if you’re looking for any of them. Cowl seal, OEM connectors, covers/deflectors, etc.

@@classicautomotivenc it looks like I will need to replace the shocks in my 04' in your experience what is the best option

@@audioworkshop1 we have videos on that as well. Best cheap option is KYB, but they have been having some issue lately. Specifically on anything lifted. Best overall option are Bilsteins. That's what we have on our shop Element, and our videos discuss the installation of Bilsteins and Swift springs. Video 1 here: ua-cam.com/video/AN8ACQWGkgY/v-deo.html

@@YujiChampion yes. The c6 outdoors platform is capable of supporting nearly 500 lbs when opened. The ladder helps with that support

Nope worked great but sadly these harnesses aren’t made any more.

@@1999jimi have you replaced the front and rear VTC and spool valve screens? Does it have an OEM Honda Genuine spool valve on it? And you might possibly need to clean/check the VTC actuator.

You’re welcome

I damaged one of the vertical support poles. I emailed ARB to find out what Product Number is. Everything I searched for shows the number for the horizontal pole. These swing downward (not outward) but not 100% sure if the ends (hardware) are the only difference between the two poles. Thank you. @@classicautomotivenc

I use the RT version. Or I also use The Right Stuff black, but it’s overkill for a washer nozzle

What part of NC are you in?

@@classicautomotivenc is there a shop number going to Charlotte in October

@@jimmyjamgto5448 the Rainfly is built in. Each door has three layers. An inner, a bug net, and then a thicker outer door to keep the wind, rain, or snow out. Holds up to 475 pounds. And this model is actually on sale right now for just under $1,000.

Cool. That’s way less than most RTTs. I’ll have to start saving up!!!

@@jimmyjamgto5448 it is. I did a test run to Elkin today to see how much fuel economy is effected.
