You can fix the part itself, without even removing the chain. Just remove the screws use a peace of cardboard for the back and a magnet and a towel to prevent anything from falling into the chain area slowly remove the cover and carefully stretch out the spring I doubled the length evenly, so it will function correctly and be able to fight the oil pressure, the first start will put it back in the correct position it rattled the first time for me it was noticeably shorter and has stopped completely even sence. This Saves a lot of time and money.
Good explanation, but when you turn the camshaft counter clockwise to lock the VVT actuator, is there a risk of the valves hitting the piston? My new VVT actuator didn't come with this explanation so thanks.
You have to take the sprocket off, apply air pressure to the square opening on the inside of the sprocket (where the came fits into) and simultaneously turn it back to unlock position. It sounds more complicated that it actually is.
@@punjabigrandma Would you mind defining what type of air pressure? Like a shop vac or are we talking using a compressor. I wish there was a video actually showing how to do this.
So I did not unlock mine when installing and have a ton of noise now. Would it be possible to swap the pin from an rbb into my rbc vtc that must be what broke right when torquing it while locked?
WHAT EVER YOU SAYING 👍👍👍👍👍YOU ARE 100%% RIGHT😱😱😱😱😱BUT WHEN YOU INSTALL YOU TIGHT BOLT👍👍👍THEN YOU TURN CLOCKWISE TO LOCK 👍👍👍👍👍THEN YOU DO WHOLE PROCEDURE ✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️
Ever have the issue of changing the actuator/sprocket and now the engine has a tick and or like a lifter has gone bad? I know it’s a tapper style valve, but something not right. Timing checked and it’s spot on. Could it be a bad actuator?
LISTEN MAN, I AM MAD CONFUSED. THE SERVICE MANUAL FROM HONDA THEMSELVES SAYS TOO LOCK IT, THEN TORQUE IT DOWN. I CAN EVEN EMAIL YOU THE SERVICE MANUAL STRAIGHT FROM HONDA JUST GIVE ME YOUR EMAIL.... SO FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, WHICH IS IT?! TORQUE THEN LOCK? OR LOCK THEN TORQUE!? LOSING MY MIND!
I’m in that boat right now I accidentally locked mine while on the cam and torque it and was told it was fine then I’m seeing this information and I’m afraid it’s messed up now
Torque the gear before You lock it! The insides of the gear have a better position to resist the kind of force youre about to give them, not the same way if the gear it's locked, after You have torqued the bolt and all the Marks are in position , and the timing chain on, now with the help of an 15/16 wrench procede to rotate the camshaft until it gets locked❤ hope it helps

@@Rastameister no
What happens if you don’t lock the vtc? Will it make a noise?
What happens if we don’t lock it or it’s locked when we installed it ?
what happens if it locks while your putting on the chain? Thats what happend to mine

Check your vavle lash
Excelente explicación amigo.
No entiendo 100% para apretarlo con el torque a 85 libras. Tiene que estar lock o no
@@mizaelmontijoduarte9068 have to be in unlock position
OEM part or aftermarket?
On my car, it locked by itself when the bolt was tightened. Local Honda shop told me this is normal ???
Have you tried holding it with a spanner? If not well as long as the timing is right it should’nt be a problem
I received one two weeks ago that was locked. I had to disassemble it to unlock it. Is there an easier way to unlock it?
It's a precision part you are not supposed to disassemble. You're supposed to shoot compressed air into it to unlock it but I don't know how
Thanks bro!
ONLY THE WAY YOU DO YOUR PROCEDURE ✌️✌️✌️✌️👍👍👍IF YOU FORGOT TO LOCK
I don't understand how to reset it please
