NSX
To this day, the Acura NSX remains a classically beautiful design, and one of my favorite cars of the 90's! In my opinion, it was the only reason why you didn't buy a Porsche 911, to have a super car that could be used as a daily driver. Definitely the Audi R8 of its day!

    I could never get a wrench or ratchet on that 14mm bolt on the manifold bracket. I cut the bracket in half with a pneumatic saw. Then I welded a little piece of flat-stock back on there and threaded a hole so that I could take the bracket apart in the future if needed. I spent probably 6 or 7 hours total trying to remove that bolt before sawing it in half. Not to mention the stripped 10mm bolt holding a ground wire.

  • @fernandob3062
    @fernandob3062 6 місяців тому

    Please, please help with the two ground wires location on the manifold...... which is the specific point ...and are both ground wires going together, will appreciate your help..

    • @Cheeseburgersoupgirl
      @Cheeseburgersoupgirl 17 днів тому

      The ground wires are on the left side behind a box that says “diagnostic” on it, and on the back side to the right of the bracket that you are going to DESPISE removing. I’d advise putting your hand behind the right side of the manifold and get as far up in there as you can, using your left hand as a guide if you can fit it in there. The ground wires should be able to be untightened with your hand once you break it lose but the bolt holding the manifold to the bracket will require you to use a swivel rachet the whole time. Get a socket as short as possible. You should be pushing the rachet DOWN to unscrew it, DONT MAKE the same mistake I did and spend 45 minutes trying to get it lose 😭 Btw, there’s two wires on each nut that you’ll be removing. Take them both off. Put the nut back onto the bolt once the manifold is removed so you have less bolts to try and remember where they go lol

    • @Cheeseburgersoupgirl
      @Cheeseburgersoupgirl 17 днів тому

      *less nuts but technically you will have a lot of both to remember. Another thing you can do is press each one into a piece of cardboard and label them as where they go. Throttle body, manifold, valve cover etc. you are going to need an Allen key as well and use some sort of extra leverage because it will not break easily. Luckily they’res only two and both in the front of the manifold.

Please, please help ..how can I located the correct position of the two ground wires on the intake manifold...I having trouble right now with that....I saw in your nice video....that both ground wires goes together in one point of manifold......its that right ....will appreciate your help for my 2001 avalon, thanks in advance!

    I'll try this anyway. I looked through the comments and didn't see any answers to questions. The Spark plug tube seals. I watched videos and have seen the tube seals installed both ways( easy and hard as you say ) which I installed the hard way according to another video. To me the thinking is like a wheel seal, you have pressure and you don't want that pushing past the seal. The hard way should tighten the seal around the tube with pressure. So which is it ? If you can't take the time to answer , someone please answer this question. I installed Felpro seals just like the ES300 video on UA-cam. The guy with the orange gloves. So please someone let me know. Thanks.

    Can you get to the rear exhaust manifold from the top? I am going to need to replace the rear valve cover and also the rear exhaust manifold gasket. So I might as well do both at the same time. I can hear ticking and smell exhaust through the vents. There is very little info about how to get to the manifold though.

    Swapping the engine on my 2000 XTerra... This video was very helpful, thanks! I would have liked to see more info on how you got the intake manifold out and back in. I found it very difficult to remove. Also, where did you attach that chain to for lifting the engine? Was it the power steering mount and the bracket in the back?

    Very good information. I have a 2005 Frontier Nismo with MT and 153K miles on it. I think my clutch is tired now and I don't think I can do it alone since I don't have the lift. The procedure is straight forward but the rusty bolts are the pain while lying underneath the truck. Thank You

  • @onlyus1018

    just one thing the PCV valve is a check valve. if you blow in it you can get air one way, but not the other that's how you can check it properly. But you're right it's the number one reason why people blow valve cover gaskets. And it does recycle and vent crankcase pressure in gases. 👍

    This is far and away the best video for changing the valve cover gaskets and spark plug tube seals on the 1MZ-FE. This video was super helpful when changing the gaskets on my 99 Camry. It seemed like everyone else said, "alright, so now we're going to take off the rear valve cover/take out the tube seals" and then cut to everything being done. They skipped the hard parts where you could possibly damage the valve cover.... Awesome video, super thorough, thank you!
