I wish you had better tags on this video so i might have found it before I replaced the VTC with Honda's updated one. This is much easier.
I used the shorter spring first & still had the rattle noise on cold starts. Swapped to the longer spring & NO MORE NOISE!! ... some people have had success with the shorter, but I would recommend the longer to save your time
I'm currently doing this too. How did the longer spring work out for you? Is the rattle gone?
You showed us how to do it but there is so much irrelevant content this video running time could have been cut in half
Thank you. I love all your Honda Fit videos. Looking forward to doing this spring replacement for my fit soon.
