"Not gonna build too crazy a minivan" bro, you gotta turbo'd, stick shift minivan with a 9500 redline. Your the mayor Crazyville. Its awesome. If your going to buy a grinder stand, look online used. For the most part, ones built in the 80's/90's are way higher build quality. You'll get them for nothing, and they are serviceable. Some of the stuff you buy today, you can't even change the brushes.
@Boostedboiz You cannot use a different cam journal from another head because Honda cylinder heads are line bored. You will seize the camshaft in the journal if you try that. So try to make the original cam cap work. Honestly since it is on the outside of the head I would just use what you have there. You will be able to secure it to the head and you have the cam journal caps as well. 👍 Up to you really Kyle. Can't wait to see more content!
Kyle please keep making videos like this where you basically teach how to do what you're doing. I've always wanted to learn how to do this kind of shit. Excellent!
DANG BUDDY BOOSTED all the way bro !!, First off 2 videos 1 night, And then second this is a flipppin 25:27 long video that's a damn sitcom status ! DEDICATION at its fullest man, your solid buddy ! Great Content cant wait to see more man,
Tip for valve spring retainers, drop the valve spring on and then put the top retainer and stem keepers in and smear some grease on them to keep them in place, then compress the spring down and past the stem of the valve and then make sure they are where they need to be and then back the compressor off :) good job man 👍
Kyle you should really try the drill and vacuum hose trick, makes the process alot quicker, just set the head on its side, use a power drill with a piece of vacuum hose between the drill and the top of the valve, then you can just spin it and pull it into the head to grind it, doesn't take long at all that way. just a suggestion:)
STP oil additive works great for helping the keepers stay in place when installing. It acts like grease almost and doesn't harm anything. When lapping valves it can go by faster is you listen carefully and hear the compound move away from the valve face, lift the valve and rotate it a bit and continue. Just helps spend less time spreading the compound on the valve face.
Kyle try using a little bit of grease on the end of a small flat head screw driver to put the keepers in. It works well for us when we assemble our motorcycle engines. Your Honda engines are very similar to Suzuki gsxr 1000 engines. I know everyone has their own methods but I thought I would just offer a tip. When we use grease it helps a lot.
Even after trying to keep things clean in some of your oil valleys on the end of the block and on top of the retainers I saw some fine pieces of metal. Maybe just drop it by someone that has a part washer just so you have that confidence that everything’s perfect
Kyle Great video as always. A few tips for the next cylinder head. You can stick a rubber hose on the opposite end of the valve and lap it easier and without cleaning. Also when installing keepers but some grease on end of valve. the keepers will stay put.
You explained everything very, you know quite a lot for you're age. As other people have stated you must get the cam bore resized if you use a different cap!
u can also soak them in acetone, gets the carbon off with no hassle.. and use brass wire wheel, it's more gentle on the valves. when installing keepers, use a bit of bearing grease or vasiline so they hold on the valve.
A trick I've used for installing keepers is some heavy grease, like axle grease, on the tip of a mini flat head and it holds the keepers on just enough.
Have you thought about walnut cleaning the valves? @ the shop I used to work at we typically do it on direct injected engines, I️.E. typically Audi’s and BMW’s, to clean the valves up
Raising rpm is great for autox and rallyx. Common problem is running out of gear and making a shift to 3rd doesn't make sense since by the time you get it in 3rd you now have to downshift.
Lisle makes a tool with the same concept as you spring and retainer removal with the socket. The lisle tool has a magnet built in to keep the retainer from moving. It also has a part for instillation in the same manner or whacking it with a hammer. would cut your spring and retainer install in half. It's pretty popular and I used it myself on my Mitsubishi Montero last year.
Kyle here is a quick tip for cleaning the valve seat bro get a drill gun and a small tube that will fit the valve head and push the valve to the valve seat with your finger and slowly pull the drill instead of usuing your hand for spinning it lol.
david929190 you arent getting a drill chuck down in the dohc vtec head :) a different solution would be to chuck a piece of rubber in a drill and spin the face of the valve like he did manually :)
It worked my 4g63 head and on the mazda 2.3 head I did this year. I haven't played with honda's yet so it may be the case you can't with the H22 but your trick with the tube would be the thing to do in that case or others with tight spaces.
be careful getting that valve grinding compound into the valve guide. Use a Q-tip with some oil and stick it into the valve guide to make sure there isnt any dirt up in there..
Wrap each valve in aluminum foil, pour in Berkebile 2+2 gum cutter, soak overnight. That way- you're not just burnishing the carbon. They clean up easy. That method is good for pistons, etc. No big container to waste cleaner & mix up parts.
@BoostedBoiz, If worried, you should check your head and block surfaces with a straight edge and feeler gauges, your Factory Service Manual should give you the specs and where to check, It will give you a peace of mind before refitting, you can clean the head and block surfaces with a block and some fine grit wet-dry sand paper also
Thank you for making this video love it when u show more about the motor being built cause I also have a h22A and this is very good way to learn thanks Kyle keep making videos !👌
Don't let this distract you from the fact that Hector is going to be running three Honda Civics with Spoon engines. And on top of that, he just went into Harry's and he ordered three T66 turbos with NOS... and a Motec system exhaust.
I probably found your channel thru suggested videos from haggard garage but just wanted to say it's fucking nice to see someone who can actually service an engine
The cam girdles are a matched set, you can get lucky, but if you want no issues it's best to use a full matching set, get it from another head if you must.
You use a straight edge to check the head and block my machininist says .001 per cylinder allowance generally. Check by sliding feeler gauge under straight edge on block and head
May wanna check what gauge wire you have ran to where the grinder is plugged in.... I had this same issue with my makeshift shop area. Upgraded to 12gauge wiring and havent had an issue since
I've not worked on many Honda engines so this is surely a noob question but what are those "center rocker arms" pushing down on? I'm guessing something to do with vtec
24:35 from what you read IT IS a big deal, a different cap won't have the same lash and possibly seize the camshaft because of thermal expansion. measure the old and new one the best you can.
A tip to reseat valves A lot quicker is attach a rubber line to the end of the valve when it's already through the head and put it in your drill. there you go
Hey Love your videos and I'm not even a Honda person 🤘 but you should use a brass will instead of a steal it cleans the valve just as good but it is a softer metal so we will never scratch the valve and then you can get smaller ones for dramas and get all around the heading without scratching it
If you ever wondered why older guys keep vasoline in their tool box its for putting valve keepers back in it makes them stick. Makes the job 10 times easier! Just a tip for next time
Should replace the LMA's if you're planning on revving that high. After moving all those parts around, you definitely want to set the valve lash. You can not just swap on a new cam cap. If you need to replace one, you need to take it to a machine shop with the cam for that side, and have the whole set line honed to size. Yes, even if it is just one the rest need to be line honed together. They all need to have the same bore. That bore has to have the correct clearance for the cam, and that clearanced hole needs to be on the same plane as the rest of the caps.
I would just do away with the hydro lmas and get some lma springs. I think he will be fine by swapping a single outside cam cap without line honing. :)
DeAndre Madsen did you do just one or all of them? I have built numerous honda engines and have swapped a few cam caps before and never had an issue. Doing all of them without a line hone is an issue, doing one will likely be just fine.
k h I did all of them like a goof. I didn't know anything about line boring at the time until 5 minutes after running the car lol. How can you get away with one or two but not all? Is there a way to know what you can and can't use? Nice to know for the future for me maybe one day.
23:00 It is almost critical to resurface your head, it can be warped just because of that heat you made with a torch, also there is 50% chance to have problem if you simply remove and reinstall cylinder head on any car using new head gasket without resurfacing head. It is my daily job to repair engines and I would recommend to think about what I said :-) .
I wouldn't resurface for a routine well IV pulled the head to do something else stick a new gasket in because I may as well but for something like this he really should be doing given this is the first real cleanup/dive into this thing it's had in a long time.

DANG BUDDY BOOSTED all the way bro !!, First off 2 videos 1 night, And then second this is a flipppin 25:27 long video that's a damn sitcom status ! DEDICATION at its fullest man, your solid buddy ! Great Content cant wait to see more man,
agreed
Hell, yea! Some complain about long videos- personally, I really enjoy at least 30 minutes. With good editing- you can get a lot done.
2 boostedboiz in one night?? Fucking rights!!
Destin Ginnis gotta get that money somehow. Back to back vids = easy money 👌🏻
Does Kyle have a job or does he do YT full time
Steve-O he does UA-cam full time. That’s how he got his house, his minivans and all the times he’s rebuilt motors
Steve-O he goes to college for welding also.
Dipnation7 his parents bought his house...
You make this engine building business look easy! Looking at it, i would love to do is myself! Great job man!

k h thats why you always see old guys with vasoline in their tool box. Lol shit has lots of uses haha
Brody Creeden all these times i thought it was for there privates 😂😉
k h yup. Grease makes it way simpler
+1 for grease on the keepers makes it sooo much easier
Perfect start the UA-cam/Smoke sesh with boostedboiz
Jeremy Clement whatchu smoking on ? I'm smoking on biscotti cookies
Super blue with a straight shooter
Cigarettes and vape is where it’s at
Ditched the ports for a vape
Sergio Miramontes cigarettes are nasty
I learned how to build engines on this channel. Can't thank you enough for a great content.
Keep Brent and guys in vids a lot more. love the vids bro keep grinding!!! JDM AF
This kind of step by step video was actually very intresting to watch. Keep them coming.
Kyle you should really try the drill and vacuum hose trick, makes the process alot quicker, just set the head on its side, use a power drill with a piece of vacuum hose between the drill and the top of the valve, then you can just spin it and pull it into the head to grind it, doesn't take long at all that way. just a suggestion:)
just the tool in half and just chuck it into the drill.
watching you work on engines is so relaxing for some reason
No days off for Kyle. Killing it with the content.
1000HP minivan - GTR Killer Grocery Getter

HashCracker you mean 600bhp
Darcy Love Davies yeah but the mishimoto odyssey cost a shit ton of money compared to what Kyle will have in his. Can't wait to see how this turns out
_ Red good point, plus we'll get more of a inside view
Thank you so much for this. I love watching motor rebuilds
I’m learning so much about building engines. Thank you so much !

Your dedication is off the wall. Keep it up, we're all loving the content.
2 videos in one day Christmas has come erley boiz
Can you do a garage tour showing us basic tools and equipment you use?
Super informative! I dig it. Super excited to see this minivan rock!
Best part was roasting the valve seals. Hulk like fire!
Kyle try using a little bit of grease on the end of a small flat head screw driver to put the keepers in. It works well for us when we assemble our motorcycle engines. Your Honda engines are very similar to Suzuki gsxr 1000 engines. I know everyone has their own methods but I thought I would just offer a tip. When we use grease it helps a lot.
Damn.. I love when someone is so into something. I'd love to know so much about building motors
Most underrated channel by far
Love the detailed video showing the build. There's not allot of people on youtube who do engine builds step by step. Keep it up!
Even after trying to keep things clean in some of your oil valleys on the end of the block and on top of the retainers I saw some fine pieces of metal. Maybe just drop it by someone that has a part washer just so you have that confidence that everything’s perfect
This is a great how to vid for any valve train job. Great video man! I'll be watching again when I go through my jeep 4.0 head. Thanks man!
Kyle Great video as always. A few tips for the next cylinder head. You can stick a rubber hose on the opposite end of the valve and lap it easier and without cleaning. Also when installing keepers but some grease on end of valve. the keepers will stay put.
Pro tip: stick a piece of hose on the valve and use a drill to lap the valves
Use grease and a screw driver to put keepers in.
You explained everything very, you know quite a lot for you're age. As other people have stated you must get the cam bore resized if you use a different cap!
Great moves Kyle. Proud of you. Keep it up.
I love all this info on actually building the engine, great stuff.
Man, I can't wait to see this on the drag strip. I know you are going to, how could you not!?!?
u can also soak them in acetone, gets the carbon off with no hassle.. and use brass wire wheel, it's more gentle on the valves. when installing keepers, use a bit of bearing grease or vasiline so they hold on the valve.
Brent for president!
Voted
I always used a little bit of grease to help hold the keepers in place. You cut kind of stick it to the valve and finger it in place
Those keepers that hold the valve spring in place looks exactly what Wyatt found laying loose in his engine head.
Good way to warp the electric motor housing too. Put an electric fan behind the grinder, to help air flow and cooling.
A trick I've used for installing keepers is some heavy grease, like axle grease, on the tip of a mini flat head and it holds the keepers on just enough.

Really like how your showing is steps really solves questions I have sometimes
Nice, thanks - I have to rip apart a head this weekend, this was a nice refresher.
I have that same valvesprings compressor tool. It's magnificent for changing valvesprings and what not on the h22 head.
Fuck yeah 25min boosted boiz clip building motors. The best
I've chucked the back of the valves into a drill on a couple different heads, makes lapping valves a lot faster.
david929190 you arent getting a drill chuck down in the dohc vtec head :) a different solution would be to chuck a piece of rubber in a drill and spin the face of the valve like he did manually :)

be careful getting that valve grinding compound into the valve guide. Use a Q-tip with some oil and stick it into the valve guide to make sure there isnt any dirt up in there..
Man, setting the keepers with this tool is like playing a game of "Operation", such a tedious job for sure!!
I know I am way late to the video but a little grease where the keepers go help them stick in place while you let the pressure off the spring.
Good choice on replacing the springs and retainers, my H22 doesnt rev up past 8k very happily although it does okay.
well done with this video!! I like when you go into detail and explain what you are doing.
Yeah...!!! Buddy...!!! Can't wait to see you turn heads in that beast lol
Thanks for making this video! Very helpful, am gonna tackle my head this winter
Nice work Kyle! I got to get me one of those little spring compressors looks like it works pretty good
Only channel i really learn something! Thank you explain everything so good!
16:00 I am sure you know it already, but there is special tool for removing valve seals, it is not expensive.
Wrap each valve in aluminum foil, pour in Berkebile 2+2 gum cutter, soak overnight. That way- you're not just burnishing the carbon. They clean up easy. That method is good for pistons, etc. No big container to waste cleaner & mix up parts.

Don't let this distract you from the fact that Hector is going to be running three Honda Civics with Spoon engines. And on top of that, he just went into Harry's and he ordered three T66 turbos with NOS... and a Motec system exhaust.
Gotta say this was super informative. I wondered how you did a few steps as my engine skills are nowhere near yours. Great video
I probably found your channel thru suggested videos from haggard garage but just wanted to say it's fucking nice to see someone who can actually service an engine
The cam girdles are a matched set, you can get lucky, but if you want no issues it's best to use a full matching set, get it from another head if you must.
Are you worried about taking off any metal while wirebrushing the valves? Could you use seafoam to soak them in?
Already one dislike .. I’m guessing Charlie has post notifications on aswell! 😂
Sergio Miramontes yawn. still talking about him ?!
You use a straight edge to check the head and block my machininist says .001 per cylinder allowance generally. Check by sliding feeler gauge under straight edge on block and head
Dope video. Can't wait to see this thing in that van
Why don't you attached the suction cup thing to a drill? would take less time.
Boosted boiz is Love, boosted boiz is life ❤️
May wanna check what gauge wire you have ran to where the grinder is plugged in.... I had this same issue with my makeshift shop area. Upgraded to 12gauge wiring and havent had an issue since
I've not worked on many Honda engines so this is surely a noob question but what are those "center rocker arms" pushing down on? I'm guessing something to do with vtec
At 20:57 I don't think that that keeper is all the way down! I don't think that it "popped into place." Might want to check that one Kyle. Thanks!
So what I do when I use the socket. Type deal is I put a heavy duty magnet inside or on the socket it collects all the keeper for u its nice.
24:35 from what you read IT IS a big deal, a different cap won't have the same lash and possibly seize the camshaft because of thermal expansion. measure the old and new one the best you can.
You should look into the valve tool made by lisle. That's what I use for Valve springs and works like a charm.
I been wanting a turbo Odyssey for fuckin ever. I'm beyond juiced for this to happen.
you're doing the valve clearances right? coming from motorcycles I don't know how often people do it on cars
Morning from Germany . Hardcore Fan. Cheers Kyle
Why didnt you check your valve clearance? You grinded your valve seats so it would change.
You can use a cordless drill from the top side to lap the valves.
How about putting a magnet in the socket to catch retainer clips Kyle? Ever do it?
A tip to reseat valves A lot quicker is attach a rubber line to the end of the valve when it's already through the head and put it in your drill. there you go
a good way to clean the valves is a sandblasting cabinet. more money than most people have lying around but theyre great for nooks and crannies
Why not do some porting while the head was apart? And polish the chambers and exhaust ports.
reminding you will need a 5 speed clutch pedal and clutch master and 5 speed brake pedal ...great content as always
Hey Love your videos and I'm not even a Honda person 🤘 but you should use a brass will instead of a steal it cleans the valve just as good but it is a softer metal so we will never scratch the valve and then you can get smaller ones for dramas and get all around the heading without scratching it

seigisama this is true hope he sees this.
I would just do away with the hydro lmas and get some lma springs. I think he will be fine by swapping a single outside cam cap without line honing. :)
k h Wrong. He will destroy the camshaft if he does what you just recommended. I've made that error in the past and learned the hard way.

Add a fuel injector before the turbo exhaust side it will give you boost at any rpm seen it on topgear rally he just flipped a switch pwm control.
Good video man! This is why I subscribed when you were at like 6k subscribers
