So glad these DIY videos for the 4th generation Honda Accord Wagons. I know Honda hasn't made them for th U.S. market since, I believe, 1996. However, some of us are still driving them. Great little car, and easy for someone like myself, ( I'm 75, and a woman), who is DIY'er. I've always been good with mechanical stuff, and now that I'm on a fixed income, and a simple oil change is $80.00-$100.00, I'm staying as far from the mechanic's garage, as possible. Bought it over 20 years age, with 140,000, MI. It's got about 230,000+/-. In October, for my 75th birthday, I replaced the original alternator, with a new one. Ran into one problem, the bolt to adjust the alternator belt was bent, and I couldn't find a new one, so had to get one machined. A whole $8.00. There was a used one, on Ebay, for $60.00 something...for real?! The used ones have a tendency to actually snap in Two, during adjustment. NAPA machined the bolt, and you can't tell it from the original, except, not bent. Anyway, the spark plug tube "O"ring replacement is my next project, with the upcoming tune-up, as soon as the weather warms up, as my work area is outside...LOL! Keep those great, informative video's, for the 4th generation Accord wagons coming. I'm hoping that this will be the last car I have to buy. It's been in a warmer climate, no road salt, until a couple years ago, when I moved back to the Midwest. Has the typical rear quarter panel rust, but not buch else. Thinking of getting a MIG welder and trying some minor body repair, and a new paint job, so if you do body repair, I'll be watching. Thanks again for keeping it real, for some of us retirees, who have gotten caught in the inflation fiasco, and need to be proactive DIY'ers, when it comes to our vintage cars, that are still our main mode of transportation. God bless, Foxy Honda Gal 😊
friend of mine had me start working on her car and after seeing an oil leak i had her go and get a new kit. glad she did get the whole kit. This video helped me tremendously getting it all fixed.
Not bad 250K miles. My 2000 Honda cr-v has 300K miles. I decided to replace the distributor plugs & wires along with the cam plug and valve cover kit. It had a cylinder 1 misfire code. Good video Mickey mouse
loved the video I wish you could show putting the rtv on and where it goes you said it in the video but be great to show everything all the way to resembled. Keep up the great work.
My 97' Odyssey started missing. The plug wells were filling with oil from leaking gaskets. Sopped it out with paper towels and long surgical forceps. That was it. Runs perfect. Easy to do when needed. FREE.
Thanks to you Brian, i was able to do this myself and get my car('95 Honda Accord) running again, my mechanic never showed up and he was charging me $400 to do this, After $50 and some bruises and a few cuts, i have completed my work, i am a novice when it comes to tinkering with cars so thanks and btw you have a great sense of humor. keep it up
ok, i'll give this a try. I have this exact problem, i'll go buy the gasket and o-ring set and find out. Doesn't look too crazy to do your self. Thanks!
Great job i did one awhile back and it has oil on the plugs again i change the rubbers at the top but i didn't change the ones at the bottom thank for this video now i know.
I use Right Stuff really thin for that reason. It also holds it in place during install. On Jeep 4.0L engines the thermostat is vertical in the front of the head. I used to do those every week and if you didn't silicone the thermostat in the tstat would drop and you'd have a leak. It's just cheap insurance so you don't have to do it twice.
There's a bracket from the bottom of the manifold to the block. Just pull the 12mm bolt out of the bottom of the manifold so you can have support, but come off ok when ready.
amazing video man. I just got a 92 Honda accord and saw there was oil in the spark plug bay and thought the engine was blown. very upset until I saw your video.
@philipearlwilliams If you do this carefully you won't have to re time it. Just make sure the cam stays where it is and you're OK. The timing belt holds one side down and prevents rotation. The distributor holds the other end down.
I have oil in one spark plug and I was freaking out that it might mess up the engine but my oil is nothing compared to yours . I only have a few drops 😂😂
Tighten each bolt on your rocket arm 2 turns at a time in the proper sequence to insure that the rockers do not bind on the valves. Tighten the 6mm bolts to 9 ft. lbs. (12 Nm) and the 8mm bolts to 16 ft. lbs. (22 Nm).
I'd done a seal replacement on my vehicle before but it wasn't particularly effective. Your tip about adding a little Permatex Right Stuff was just the ticket. Thanks for the great videos.
This is the same engine as mine and this video was very helpful. Thank you! This isn't the first time you've helped me. I watched your video for changing my miata timing belt. I am a complete novice but I was able to do all this with your help. Thanks again
Pushing down is OK. Sagging to the inside of the valve and then torquing the bolts down pushing outward on the valves as it tightens down is what can potentially bend the top of the valve to the outside direction of the head.
Hey, I am very grateful for this video. I wish I had known that when I took the cams that I should have kept a screw in them to keep them from falling apart. Now my cams are in shambles. After about an hour of putting it back together they still don't properly fit back on. It's almost as if the journals are preventing the assembly to go back over the cams. I am at a loss and without a car.
thanx for the video man!!! i was kinda going crazy in the back of my mind why it still leaks oil in there after ive changed the valve cover gasket 2 times already.
@500hpb20 If the adjuster screws are inside and not on top of the valve-- then when you tighten the valve train assembly they will expand and push the top of the valves away from the center of the cylinder head and the valves will bend outward. A tech I used to work with did that.
Loosen the ends first. Tighten the center, then go back out and torque the outsides, THEN tighten the center one more time to spec. 18-22 ft lbs should be plenty.
@Galvathorax I broke one too on my 95 accord lx, but when I thought of drilling out the piece from the head, I instant used a small screw driver and a hammer in an attempt to turn the broken piece counterclockwise and after awhile, the bolt did back out. Get the smallest chisel that you can find and make a slot across the the bolt.
Thank you so so much!! I think you did an amazing job recording by yourself & all the details, completely helped me out!! Im a chick, fixed my car on my own with little knowledge of engines & all thanks to this video!! Im just so happy I have my car again & I just couldn't believe I fixed my own car!!
You just MADE my DAY! Helped me fix my car, made me laugh and further justified that you should never, ever ask the guys at the auto parts store. You're awesome! =)
Would it not be better to back off all the tappets prior to removing the bolts holding down the rocker arm assemblies? I believe there is a "X" pattern or cross pattern for tightening the bolts. This will eliminate the possibility of warping for uneven tightening. This is a good time to adjust the valves while you have it valve cover off the engine. The shop manual suggests permatex on each end of the valve cover to help eliminate leaks. Thank you for the excellent video.
Perhaps I should do a vid response to clarify this for some people. After all you've been a tech for the last 20 years and have seen a lot of tech's come and go and you didn't understand this. I should probably clarify. I thought it was pretty simple, but I can see I should give some more detail. Thanks for pointing this out to me.
here is some feedback, this was good. the only thing different that would make it better is if you had a flip out ironing board that came out of the wall to place the parts on.
@nightmathzombieethan It's a bit risky, but you can put a socket and breaker bar on the bolt (well supported and no slack counter clockwise direction) and crank the starter. The pulley rotates clockwise and will loosen the bolt by the starter turning the crank the other way. Scottykilmer has a video on it.
... im just someone learning this before i go get it fixed so that i know a little something ... with that said im assuming putting the rocker arm on the ground is a NO NO because of debris ?
Yes. Getting anything at all inside the engine is bad. When you put the assembly back in all that crap is going back in with it. He probably wiped it off at some point but it's just a better idea to put it on a clean surface and know it's good. Be creative, I'm sure you have something in the house you can use. Parchment paper or literally any paper that is long enough. I have a nice roll of masking paper for painting that's a few feet wide that works great.
If you are cautious and aware (and don't drop stuff down the timing cover) you can do all this without needing to pull the belt and lower timing cover or adjust the valves. Use metal paper stack clips to secure the belt to the cam wheel.
1993 honda civic lx...i think you may have just saved my sanity...i'll repky to my own comment to letcha know in a few hours after i get some sleep & the sunlight breaks the night
I can't believe that you know Towelie. How's he been since his intervention? Great vid, love the humor you sneak in there. Make everything more enjoyable :) Laughter rocks.
the lower tube seals rarely become damaged to the point where oil seeps in at all. usually what dose leak is the upper tube seals that are mounted in the valve cover. normally this is what fixes this problem, but in older cars this can be a problem. if your going this far to repair a gasket might as well replace the stem seals and adjust the Lifters. it seems like alot of work but its really easy to do,
@roro560v8 Problem one is an O-ring where the dipstick inserts. there's a tab higher up on the dipstick that bolts it in. Pull the bolt, wiggle/twist the tube up and out. You'll see the o-ring. You can then put a new one on and lube it up and reinstall, or clean and dry the old one and silicone it a little (permatex right stuff) and reinstall it. As for the slip of the starter bendix on ring gear. Shimming the starter may help. Otherwise you have to replace the ring gear.
Just make sure you have the rocker arms on top of the valves before tightening. If they are to the inside and not on top there can be a problem by pushing outward as the bolts are tightened.
Looks easier said then done..cause if your not "mecanicaly"inclined then your lost to what going on...You explained very nicely..I hope I got it all to explain to my brother,who working on my daughter 94 Honda accord..that has this trouble.we don't know if car no good now or what..??Plz advise??
I got the same cb7 with f22a engine and I was replacing my valve cover gasket and said one more turn to tighten down the cover and SNAP...damn cover bolth broke and now I have to order one online for $20 dollars.If you break the cover bolt ontop of the cover,its a pain in the ass to remove the screw stud in the valve case.
@philipearlwilliams no, it will be just fine and stay in time. when you take that assembly off its just the rockers that flop back and forth, the camshaft wont move at all and you won't effect anything. if you go to about 4:45 and watch him pull it off, its just the rockers that will be effected.
@orville58 Depends if the wires are cleanable/reusable- these shouldn't have been, but I did anyway. I'd guess around $400 or so with all new tune up stuff etc.
Cool Video. I would have liked to also watched the process of the spark plugs coming out and seeing the actual cracked O rings come out. And for kicks the actual replacement of the valve cover gasket and O rings and gromets. Good video 1 of only 2 found addressing this type of situation.
great video thanks for the information I just changed my spark plugs after billion years and I had a little oil leak like in the video so now I know what to do to take care of it again excellent video thank you...😉
sounds like a head gasket leak... your right... pull your head and replace the gasket, (make sure you look at your head wile you have it off, make sure its not cracked or warped) and as far as your loss of coolant, if your not dumping white smoke from your pipes then like brian said, pump or hose...
Did my O-rings last week end and no more oil! The sequence to do it is: Unbolting: From the Outside bolts to the inside bolts Bolting down: From the Inside bolts to the outside bolts. Be sure to torque them down just to 16 lbs of torque or JUST SNUG. I even made a more detailed video on my channel if you like.
Good video. Lacked some important details like the loosening and tightening order of the rocker assembly and the gromet installation (not hard). Also, I would suggest to not use a screwdriver to pry off your valve cover as this could damage it, (use a rubber mallet or your fist to knock the cover gently). Re-Also, probably a good idea to not put your rocker assembly and valve cover on the ground... use cardboard or a towel or anything but the concrete.
I just bought a 1990 Honda Accord your vidoe helped alot TY. The passenger door seat belt holder will not retract when the doors closed how do you fix it
yes thats what happened. i just open the whole thing,i just started so hope i can do it i never done something like this before so wish me luck.thank for answered any advice? about something else that i need to put more attention? thank u again
Have this same issue with my Honda Accord 92 / o-rings are failing and I have oil entering into the spark plug cylinders- yay for a "fun" weekend project! 😜😃
Good video.... I was scared to pulled the Rocker Arm section of the valve train off as I don't have air tools. From all the details thus far I feel much more comfortable doing this.... Also I was wondering whats the dealio with the rocker arms bending the valves?!

I didn't need to watch this video, but I kept watching because you made it entertaining! Haha. Keep it up bro.
friend of mine had me start working on her car and after seeing an oil leak i had her go and get a new kit. glad she did get the whole kit. This video helped me tremendously getting it all fixed.
I am a mechanic myself. I find your videos very helpful when I am stuck on something.

11 years later but thank you 👍

You just made my day I thought it was going to be hard work but looking at your video made my stress go away so in other words it was very easy

@500hpb20 If the adjuster screws are inside and not on top of the valve-- then when you tighten the valve train assembly they will expand and push the top of the valves away from the center of the cylinder head and the valves will bend outward. A tech I used to work with did that.
If you were going for the induced motion-sickness effect, it just about worked (4:25 ish). Really though, good videos - keep 'em coming

Also disconnect the battery to prevent the starter from rotating the crank and set the cam to the timing position.

Im a chick, fixed my car on my own with little knowledge of engines & all thanks to this video!! Im just so happy I have my car again & I just couldn't believe I fixed my own car!!
So you did everything he said and your car is running well?

I liked your candidness and funny voices. It added some sense of humor to the video. Keep it up!
a nozzle brian its a freakin nozzle. me and my gf love your vids keep up the good work.
Probably, but I don't know for sure. Take a plug out and shine a flashlight in there and look for a split half way down the well.
Got a 97 accord with the same problem...I'm gonna fix it this weekend...thanks for the help!!
I have the same car with the same problem... Going to fix it soon... How did yours come out?
Omg dude I replaced the upper seals on mine and was left with the o rings. You're the first to know where they go
@richardallanjoseph You're welcome. Thanks for showing some appreciation.
@philipearlwilliams The rule of thumb there is to pull the middle last and put the middle bolts in first.
Demonstrate in which order the bolts come off. That information is critical for those seeking correct info. But thanks for short informative video
Perhaps I should do a vid response to clarify this for some people. After all you've been a tech for the last 20 years and have seen a lot of tech's come and go and you didn't understand this.

Thanks for showing the gasket that you bought. I wasnt sure how to buy the o rings.
Man you have great videos. I just replaced my B-series tube seals... Too bad your not local man
Great video! Got the job done in about two hours thanks to you - you're the man!
@philipearlwilliams no, it will be just fine and stay in time. when you take that assembly off its just the rockers that flop back and forth, the camshaft wont move at all and you won't effect anything. if you go to about 4:45 and watch him pull it off, its just the rockers that will be effected.

Okay. I will do SP seals first to see if it will work. Thank for the response and great video. Keep it coming
Thank you so much for the video. I have a 91 Accord and I don't know shit about cars, and this helped me fix it all myself. Really appreciate it!

You're welcome! Yes I do. I have a vid or two on my channel.
WoW
Honda engines are Flawless. I see a lot of 1996-2000 Hondas At least 300.000KM on them .
Honda is Legend [ Even better than Toyota ]
Joe Blo I think yours has a problem because I've had multiple Honda's ranging in different models and years and none have smoked even after 200k
I recomend doing a motor flush and following the instructions (and if it looks like caramel inside pull the oil pan too.)
You seems knowledgeable however, a less shaky camera and much better lighten would be great! Thanks for your time.
I removed rocker arms and I m having problems installation thanks for this video is good information
sounds like a head gasket leak... your right... pull your head and replace the gasket, (make sure you look at your head wile you have it off, make sure its not cracked or warped) and as far as your loss of coolant, if your not dumping white smoke from your pipes then like brian said, pump or hose...
Thank you for the video!
Just have to worry about the sequence I have to tighten the bolts down....But Google is a friend of all of us..:-D
Did my O-rings last week end and no more oil!
The sequence to do it is:
Unbolting: From the Outside bolts to the inside bolts
Bolting down: From the Inside bolts to the outside bolts.
Be sure to torque them down just to 16 lbs of torque or JUST SNUG.
I even made a more detailed video on my channel if you like.
Great video, man. Iam doing my head gasket on my 92 honda accord and this really helped as far as taking that top half apart.
Thanks for this vid..I am going to tackle this project myself, right now! was expecting to have to pay a mechanic ;) wish me luck!
@fooey88 I call it the valve train assembly. You may call it a thingamajig. In Spanish they call it the tree of lifting.
I like your video a lot more than other people's
Good video. Lacked some important details like the loosening and tightening order of the rocker assembly and the gromet installation (not hard). Also, I would suggest to not use a screwdriver to pry off your valve cover as this could damage it, (use a rubber mallet or your fist to knock the cover gently). Re-Also, probably a good idea to not put your rocker assembly and valve cover on the ground... use cardboard or a towel or anything but the concrete.
Thank you you are the only person I've seen who knows where thoes I rings go. Good video good sense of humor good job
@Turbochargesi My symptoms were weird exhaust noises and loss of power. I drove this way for quite some time before I decided to change my plugs.
I just bought a 1990 Honda Accord your vidoe helped alot TY. The passenger door seat belt holder will not retract when the doors closed how do you fix it
yes thats what happened. i just open the whole thing,i just started so hope i can do it i never done something like this before so wish me luck.thank for answered any advice? about something else that i need to put more attention? thank u again
Thank you for all the info and the laughs. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for the information on the 2009 Honda
