thanks people wanted to charge me 900 dollars to do this ill be doing it myself thanks to u
saluteeee
Exactly why me and my husband came to this video😂😂😂 these ppl are nuts
Buddy i honestly thing that if you gonna remove the whole engine to do all this, $900 is fair. I thought at first he could do it with the engine being in the car but there is nooo way
@@MatterOfFact1930did you guys end up doing it? Removing the engine then changing the gasket before reinstalling it? Thats not an easy job
Do people ever replace their head gaskets as preventative maintenance before it fails? Seems it would be easier since you don't have to mill the heads or block.
The head gaskets only get replaced when human error is involved ( ie. Run engine while it's overheating) there's no such thing as preventive maintenance on a headgasket.
@@JasonStAmand-xi6oyunless you’re modifying the car for more hp past it’s limits 🫡
I have a V6 J engine, and this video taught me a boat load! Subscribed
Such a helpful video bro! Currently doing an overhaul for my j32a3. Replacing everything so it'll be a healthy and new engine. It's going into my 99 civic coupe 💪💪
Sure... now do it with the engine still in the vehicle 🙀
laying the cylinder head down on its face after removal is a major no no. Otherwise nicely done.
Your a beast bro
There's a world of difference in doing it with the engine in or with it out
People read this!! @4:23 he talks about if he could remove those 2 studs (1 on each head) he would leave the thermostat housing on. You can REMOVE the stud with the right size bolt/nut extractor which allows you to pull the head! Just replace the removed stud with a correct length and size bolt when reinstalling!
If you drill the hole on that stud perfectly centered without damaging the thread, you could re use the same stud .
Tell it fam. I don't do any of that BS anymore. No child support, no taxes or any of their BS Statues and rules and regulations. I live by the three laws of life. I tell anyone that it's not easy cause they will push you to the max...tho your soul and spirit would get you thru it. Trust
Time to hack this job and throw the car away if it doesn't work lol. It's a 300k mile auction car I got for 600 anyways
Wait I thought Japanese cars don't break........
How much would this cost labor
Need some help. I have 2007 Honda Accord 3.0 v6. Timing belt broke. Everywhere I have looked it says that the 3.0 is a non interference engine. Mechanic says that he put another timing belt on it and it’s misfiring on all cylinders. CR only has 70k on it. If it’s a non interference engine, valves would’ve never touched the pistons right? Therefore there should be no damage to the valves. Need some help here. Anyone know more about the 3.0 engine enough to help me out?
They are an interference engine. When the timing belt broke the pistons and the valves “kissed” and bent some valves and that’s why you have a misfire. Sometimes damage does not occur but typically it does. You need to pull both heads, repair the damaged valves, replace the heads gaskets and head bolts. Have both heads machined and then put everything together. It’s labor intensive and that’s why the price is so high. If your close to So Cal, email me and we can talk about fixing it if you want. Hope this helps.
now just hoping i didnt warp the head taking them off, lol
if in Southeast Asia what kind of car is the type of car used the v6 engine
I’m not sure dude I’m not from Southeast Asia
Would you recommend doing the head gaskets in the car or is it easier in the long run to just pull the engine?
It's easier to do it in the car. It gets a little bit involved though just because it's a V6
How much shop time does it take you to do the complete head gasket job in the car? I figure it'll take me 2-3 times that.
Thanks for showing so much info and technical procedures.
Will the heads off a 2000 3.0 Honda accord fit a 2007 3.0 Honda accord
Negative, the exhaust manifold is different.
Hi, I have a blown head gasket for the rear engine on my Acura TL 2004, do you think I can disassemble it without taking the whole engine of the car?
Doing this job tomorrow on my 05 accord 3.0...headgaskets ,timing belt,water pump,I've been a mechanic 25 years,and hondas have always been the jobs I looked forward to doing,like timing belts n such because I can make good fast money,I can do a 4 cylinder civic or accord in under an hour and make a full days wage,however these 3.0 v6s are a whole nother beast,nothing is easy to get to,the 05 accord is my personal ride if it wasnt 240hp...and look so nice and run like a raped ape I swear I'd say screw it and sell it.
How do u know when the gasket is blown on the front head or the back head while the engine is still in the car?
Overheating and do a compression test and a wet compression test
Also it’s a good idea to do both heads if your going in that far to repair one, might as well pull the other head and do it as well. Don’t be a cheap skate, do both heads.
Do you have to remove the engine to do a head gasket job on 1997 Honda v6?
Negative you do not have to remove the engine from the car to do the head gasket. I did that give everyone a better view.
Thanks for posting the video. I'm thinking about pulling the heads on my 2007 TL Type-S J35. Was the head gasket blown on the other side? If so, what did it look like? And did you fix it by just replacing the head gasket, or did you have to machine the head or the block? And is the J35 much different from the J32, as far as heads and head gaskets go?
Thanks bud. I was stuck on the coolant part myself. I didn't want to damage anything. I'm glad you posted this.
You are welcome
Had heads shaved and rebuilt on my 2005 pilot by a reputable shop. Reassembled with new gaskets, water pump, idler, plugs, knock sensor, and rebuilt injectors. Getting a p171 and p174 fault code and not clearing. Took to Honda dealer and they adjusted valves and did smoke test. both ok but still getting codes. driving me nuts.. Any suggestions? They think it could be faulty injectors or computer??
One or both of these lean-fuel condition codes can be set for several reasons:
Inaccurate information from the MAF sensor (dirty or bad sensor)
Air cleaner assembly leak
Clogging fuel filter
Worn fuel pump
Dirty or plugged fuel injectors
PCV system leak
Failed fuel pressure regulator
Vacuum leaks
EGR system issues
Oxygen sensor problems
Wouldn't it be easier to remove the cylinder head and intake as a unit and then separate them after removal?
how would you pull the heads off when it’s in the shape of a v? they come off at a 45 degree angle, not upwards..and if you did, lay the aluminum cylinder heads on its edge? 😂
Doing to much
I changed both head gaskets and intake etc ....but wouldn't start if I didn't have my code reader plugged in...can you please help me out...thanks in advance
Do you have any codes and if so what are they?
Do you have an install video?
Hope this helps! ua-cam.com/video/WPrREp99dh0/v-deo.html
i have a honda accord v6 year2005 broke the timing belt may have damaged the valves
That sucks!!! Yes you may have damaged the valves. Best thing to do is if you want to keep it buy a timing belt component kit, install it and see if you got lucky with no belt valves. If they are bent then both head have to come off.
BundysGarage thanks for the tip helped me a lot!
Andre Batista put new belt on, no compression?
I'll put another belt thanks for the tip
What needs to be done to the exhaust pipe that connect to the heads, do they need to be completely removed in order to remove the heads?
What is the year, make, and model you are working on?
@@bundysgarage 2005 accord ex....3.0 liter
@@bundysgarage I have all data, but it's only giving me the removal sequence for the front head , it doesn't give me the rear head towards the firewall....!! My bolts are 6 point.
Looks similar in size to the Toyota 3.4 found in the 4runner
me podrias vender ese manual que tienes de honda?
Could you remove the head with the intake on, then remove the intake?
Negative
What book is that?
Hanes, you can get any book for any car from any autozone or Riley’s or Napa or advanced auto parts
I have a Honda Accord 2005 v6 engine, I drove it without radiator so I need to replace the head gasket. My doubt is which is advisable and cheaper. Either to change the gasket or change the engine!!!.
Also I heard changing gasket won't success 95%. Is that true!!
Thanks in advance
Would you please tell me Torch bolts 2006 Honda Accord odissey
At around 4:30 he was using a convincing tool to remove the thermostat housing and the big cluster of tubes and stuff. It may look like your standard hammer he was using, but for the love of god don't use a metal hammer if you use one at all! He had a rubber mallet he was using so a rubber one or a plastic dead blow but never ever ever us a metal one unless you want to purchase a new part then by all means go ahead, but I suggest not doing so, but what do I know!! LoL
Hey sir, I have a j35 that is misfiring when warm. Doesn’t seem to have a problem cold, but when it warms up idle gets rough and does the blocking engine light. I’m in the Tampa area, can you help me??? :(
Don’t drive your car with a flashing check engine light. You are damaging the catalytic converter. You need to scan your car for codes. Most likely it’s a misfire code. And most likely, if you have kept up on maintenance, it’s a bad coil pack. But it can also be a spark plug, a bed fuel injector, a bad coil, or worst of all a dead hole, a cylinder with no compression. Let me know what the codes are.
@@bundysgarage you are awesome. I testing injectors and all are good, coil pack and spark is good, what’s left of low compression on the cyclinder with the misfire. 190 compression compared to 250 for the others. Ring job most likely?
Your compression is fine. Within spec. Have you scanned the car for codes? How did you test the injectors? Just because they click does not mean they are good. You need to scan it. Scanning is the first step in fixing your car, otherwise your just stumbling through the dark. If you don’t have a scanner Autozone or O’Reillys will scan it for you for free.
@@bundysgarage even at 60 psi lower it’s still in spec? And I have a nice scanner, showing p0306. Injectors removed from car, manually activated, and sprayed evenly. I replaced cylinder 6 coil and injector
@@bundysgarage also egr valve checked, valve lash checked too
Why not just pull the intake manifold with the head so you do have to fight with the bolts until you get it off
What year and model Honda are you working on?
2007 Acura TL
I got a cylinder head from the junkyard from an 05 Honda odyssey and going to install in a 2010. Although the vin number match, the bolts are different. Would that be a problem?
Thank you 👍👍👍😎
Thanks
Thanks for these helpful videos. What would cause a blown head gasket in a Honda J series engine? In general, Honda's don't blow head gaskets. I have the same J series engine in my 2003 Odyssey with 278k miles and haven't had a head gasket problem. Just curious. Thanks!
The Honda Acura J Series V6 is almost bulletproof. If you keep up on oil changes and coolant levels the engine will last a long time. The thing that kills the engines is heat. I have seen thermostats that were stuck closed cause a head gasket issue, a clogged or cracked radiator cause head gasket, also a water pump that was not circulating the coolant correctly hurt a Honda V6 engine. If there is a coolant leak get it looked at. Do oil changes with regular oil at 3,000 miles and synthetic oil at 5,000 to 6,000 mile oil change intervals. If you take care of this engine it will take care of you.
Bad radiator cap made my engine overheat and fucked my gasket, I wish this video has been posted a year ago or so It would've save me from replacing an engine
+Caesar Gonzalez that sucks dude. Always use Honda OE radiator cap and thermostat's. I feel your pain.
@@bundysgarage amigo puedes ayudarme?

Tengo entendido lleva 22 libras pie mas 90 grados y nuevamente 90 grados los pernos de las cabezas si reutiliza mis pernos y si son nuevos lleva 90 grados más, no sé si estoy bien en eso.
Otra cosa, los árboles de levas Cúa tas li ras de apriete llevan los tornillos que sujetan a los balancines? Me dijeron que 17 libras pie pero no se si sea correcto.
Por último, los tornillos del engrane de los árboles de levas donde va la banda de distribución que torque llevan?
De antemano muchas gracias, saludos desde México.

If a nut fell in through cylinder head,What would I need to do?
Is this possible to do with the engine in the car?
How do you remove the manifold on this engine honda v6, also a j series v6???
Do the exhaust manifolds need to be removed to remove the head?
You can take the head off with the intake together and remove it in a more convenient place I just bent 6 valves on a J35a1 i was wondering why it had split intake runners
Can you tighten down rockers on the if it just come out the shop from getting valve change n head shave or do u tighten down on the block
I don’t understand your question?
What book were you going off if I need to buy one
Getting an engine swap on my 06 Honda Accord V6. Honestly considering keeping the old engine and attempting a refurb, replacing the piston rings and all the gaskets. Do you think that would be a bad idea?
Is the type s and j series close or is it night and day.
What book are you using a reference?
Nice work you are very professional
How come no one does a type s video, needed some help on setting time after heads we're on and wanted to check what I have done
Pretty much the same engine
What book are u useing
rear bank broken rocker , deep wear on valve retainer .do i pull head and do valve or just replace rocker ?
From here, is it safe to use oven cleaner on the heads to clean off the carbon on the intake and exhaust valves? What about the rocker assembly side?
The head is aluminum so I have no idea what a harsh chemical like oven cleaner would do to an aluminum head. Try it at your own risk.
I got a j series v6 3.0 ans i just cant figure out my misfire problem.. it runs great! This misfire comes and goes. I turn my engine on and it brgins to shake hard as soon as i change the gear it rumbles and turns off on me.. i turn it back on and continues to misfire.. ima go outside i bet you it wont misfire right now
Yes I can help you and fix it. Give me a few hours and I’ll tell you what to do.
I will tell you what to do but you have to promise to report the results here (good or bad)! You have to change 3 sensors, 40 bucks on Rockauto.com. You have to change the engine coolant temp sensor (19MM), the air intake temp sensor (19MM) and the fan (thermo switch) (it controls the fans behind the radiator) (24MM or 15/16 deep socket) sensor that sits in the thermostat housing. The air intake sensor is on the intake manifold on the back edge towards the drivers side. Here are the Honda / Acura park numbers. Just take those and plug pluf those part numbers into the search bar on Rockauto.com. Fixed the problem for me, period. 37870-PK2-015. 37880-P0A-A02. and 37760-P00-004. Just make sure you don’t switch the air and coolant sensors when you install them. They look identical and will fit both locations. Please let me know if this fixes your problem. If you have any more issues email me and we can jump on the phone.
Thanks for the response illget back to you on that.. it runs great on a cold start i got egr valve and random misfire codes but cleaned it and valve cover got rid of the codes and problem for 5 days but the problem is back after driving for about an hour i got home and the car was running fine parked my car turned it off. Turned it right back on 10 mins later and when i turned it back on the misfire began after being gone for 5 days. After turning it on and off while misfiring the car wouldnt want to turn ON Anymore( the next morning turned it on started up with no problems no engine hesitation runs fine) .. my mechanic tells me it might be the wire that distributes power to the other ignition wires or the main power source from which that wire comes from idk what that part is called.
Trust me dude. People call it a heat soak problem (but it shouldn’t be called that)! So yes you drive he engine gets hot, you park for 15 minutes you come back out and fire it up and it hesitates, stumbles, wants to die or dies, misfire is set. Know all about it. It’s not a misfire at all. The knock sensor is picking up the “rumbling” from the engine and registers it as a misfire event. Has nothing to do with it. It’s the 3 sensors I mentioned above not communicating correctly with one another and one of them is bad and feeding incorrect information to the computer. Let me know what happens.
By the way is this a common problem,?? Ive been doing hours of research and have never seen an answer like yours do u get this a lot?
Very helpful thank you
Can u PLEASE tell me the manual you were using so i can buy one?
Just pick up a Haynes manual from O'reilly Auto Parts
I'm trying to tackle this job right now, with the engine in. I simply don't see this happening for me. I've gotten most of the front of the engine apart and there's just so much more to take apart simply to get just the front head off! I think I'll just sell the car.... Anyone interested in the Tampa area....?
It’s not for the faint of heart. Here’s a tip. The cooling piping on the drivers side of the front head. Remove the 4 studs that go through the piping to the head. That way you can leave the piping in place and just move the head.
@@bundysgarage I got that far but stopped after removing the timing belt cover. Having never done the timing myself, it didn't look self explanatory. It looks like I need to removing quite a bit on the passenger side as well at this point? Ugh... Maybe after working to that point, my bad back kicked in and I was getting fed up..... If it doesn't sell fast, I might slowly work at it....
Can you replace it while it's still in the car? If the car is fwd?
Yes
Greetings from ATL....
Its easy on a shop floor,
like how he said OBVIOUSLY lol
Great video, I replaced the gaskets on water manifold and now the cross coolant pipe appears to be leaking from the water pump end. Need to remove lower intake to get to the pipe.
do we have to remove the timing belt to do this the same way we do a timing belt replacement?
Yes you have to remove the timing belt to get the head off
This is a good video...any one out there know how much it would cost to repair head cylinder valve cover gasket? I have a persistent oil leak (further down on the engine) and had valve cover gasket replaced on top thinking that would solve it, but still leaking; told it would be $3,100.00 because it is labor intensive. Watching this video I can see it is, just want o be sure about the price. Thanks.
Where is the oil leak coming from? Which side of the engine? Between the firewall and the engine or the radiator and the engine?
@@bundysgarage The leak is coming from the front lower part of the engine, the side of the engine that faces the radiator. I check the oil level regularly and it seems stable. It is a v6 Honda, 2008 with 84, 659 miles. The spool has been replaced, so that leak was taken care of and the valve cover gasket on top was taken care of too. Now just have this lower leak. Any info would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
Rickety Rock did u ever figure it out I'm having a similar problem on the same car
THANKS!!!!!!!!!!
Can I reuse head bolts or would it be better to just pay for new ones? Thanks in advance
If the engine overheated and that’s why you are doing the head gasket, then yes buy new head bolts. Just make sure you buy the right ones, 6 point or 12 point
BundysGarage Thank you so much
Dude ... You made it look soo easy and it is now that the hole engine is out the vehicle. What book is the o e you used as a reference and how much you get for it and where you got it?
I wanted tocshow people more clearly so thats why its out of the engine. It is a big job but just take hour time and you can do it!
@@bundysgarage what about the manual bro, where you got it and what kind?
Hey Bundy great video. how come nobody shows how to take the rear head off.
The rear head is exactly like the front
@@bundysgarage Thanks.
Can you tell me what book that is ?
What book?
Can this be done with it still in the car?
Yes
What’s the name of the book you used?
looked like honda service manual
Question when changing the seals and rubber gaskets should I use a sealant when changing? Thanks
Which rubber gaskets are you talking about?
The head gaskets I have this same engine in my 08 Acura tl 3.5 and theres a leak over the manifold so I have the rubber seals ready just not sure if sealant is a must or preferred method
Which manifold? The exhaust manifold or the intake manifold? Are you talking about the rubber valve cover gaskets? The head gaskets are made of metal for this car.
Yes, my mistake.
Another great video out there. Good job man.
You sound like exrail
Who's Exrail?
very helpful thank you im about to do an o2 accord 3.o vtec all leather nice car i picked up white ex nice video !!
+Joe bova how much did you buy it for. 2 door or 4 door. I love the 2 door ones, I think the ass end of the 2 door ones look like the back of the old NSX's. Good luck on the job and if you have any questions shoot me an email at bundysgarage@gmail.com
4door ex white gold emblems 600. bucks i kid you not 284k im in san antonio tx im from ny though lol
im gonna do some videos i think i have a 94 ocivic dx also very clean all originsal
What book was that?
Looks like the official Honda service manual. It's super handy to have. You can buy a copy on RockAuto or even eBay. For Honda at least, you can usually get a PDF copy, which is handy for searching.
Mitsubishi eclipse 2003 gt. I'm stuck idk if I should just get a whole new engine or try to change the gaskets
Just so everyone knows it is possible to remove that coolant pipe in car. I got it out of the way enough to remove the front head. To remove the back one it might have to come out.
And yes you can remove the heads with the lower intakes on.
Damn! That's weird as hell how honda made the intake a 2 piece instead of one
What book is that
