    Welcome back!
    This time, we replace the stretched timing chain, and the VTC cam actuator, on a 2010 Honda Accord Coupe with a 2.4 litre engine.
    The car, which belongs to a student of mine, presented with a rather noisesome ratcheting sound at cold start-up and a check engine light with DTC P0341 (Camshaft position sensor A out of phase) codestored in the PCM.
    After running through the diagnosis in class, she asked if I would perform the repair because she didn't have confidence in her regular mechanic to perform engine work.
    And so, here we are!
    Pull up a seat and stay awhile!

    I've written the step by step process you provided in your video. thanks so much for making this, I hope others also find the below useful. if you have time please review and let me know if I missed anything..
    1. Remove plastic cover on intake manifold
    2. Clean behind plastic cover as their can be a lot of dirt back there you don’t want to get into the engine. Use degreaser / break clearner.
    3. remove structure to frame to engine
    4. Remove nut on right side of valve cover
    5. Remove hose clipand hose on right side of valve cover
    6. remove power steering pump (14mm on tensioner / idle pulley and remove serptine belt), remove the 14mm bolts for the power steering pump off (move it out of the way
    7. Jack up car and remove wheel where crank pulley it located (left side of car)
    8. remove valve cover (before lifting it off grab the grommet if you can as they like to fall off the valve cover),
    9. remove valve cover gasket if still on
    10. set engine to TDC (rotation clockwise only, wrench on camshaft towards you). There are two sets of a pair of marks on the crankshaft pulley.
    11. remove vtc solenoid (two bolts) (side of timing chain cover). Try not to pry the solenoid as it might break.
    12. Remove crank pulley. Make sure the grove key is in the crank pulley ( DON’T LOOSE IT)
    13. remove bolts for timing chain cover. One of the botls is super long and needs to stay in the cover and come out with it. It needs to be like this when putting the cover backin as well. Use a swivel socket on the one of the bolts at the very bottom, don’t break the clip holding the line at the bottom
    14. Remove the old honda bond off the timing chain cover
    15. Remove the small black tensioner chain cover and clean it, put honda bond closer to the inner portion on it and reinstall it onto timing cover
    16. Replace O-Ring on timing chain cover. If its not there it must have fell when removing the timing cover , find it.
    17. Replace crank seal on timing cover
    18. Use 17mm with breaker bar and 15/16 wrench (or monkey wrench) on crankshaft to loosen the vtc actuator bolt. THIS HAS TO BE DONE BEFORE REMOVING THE TIMING CHAIN.
    19. Ensure TDC is still set
    20. Remove top timing chain guide (the one above the intake and exhaust sprockets)
    21. Remove timing chain tensioner
    22. Remove the crank pulley spacer
    23. Remove the timing chain (should be possible even with the right and left timing chain guides still on
    24. Once you remove the timing chain, check that the crank pulley sprocket dot is in line with the link.
    25. Clean the honda bond from the engine where the timing chain cover and engine meet
    26. Place the new tensioner on with one bolt in and let it hang there
    27. Remove VTC Actuator, make sure new one is unlocked. Move it around using minimal force and the camshaft pin shoul be at the top of the new vtc keyhole once its in the place. Tighten VTC bolt with 83 ft/lb.
    28. Put the new timing chain on. (two gold links align with the intake and exhaust sprocket dots), one gold link is placed overtop of crank sprocket). With it in place put the other bolt into the tensioner and it will at least hold the timing chain in place for the mean time for you to recheck everything.
    29. Ensure TDC and everything is correct
    30. Pull Tensioner pin, manually spin engine clockwise to ensure everything is cycling OK.
    31. Honda Bond timing chain cover
    32. Place Timing cover back on . Two weird looking bolts go on bottom left and bottom right of timing chain cover.
    33. Install vtc solenoid, bolt in.
    34. Remove any honda bond on valve cover areas. Put new honda bond in the corners where the valve cover meeting with engine. Put new valve gasket on. Put valve cover back on. Tight down with grommet, seals, bolts.
    35. Put Power steering pump back on and serpentine belt back on
    36. Put back nut on right side of valve cover
    37. Put back hose clip and hose on right side of valve cover
    38. Put Crank pulley back on crank shaft. , it should spin freely. Line up the crankshaft divits and put the key in to lock the pulley with the shaft. Put crank pulley bolt in and tighten.
    39. Let Honda Bond dry before turning on car.
    40. Put Tire on and start engine

    I for one thank you for making this video. Despite you seeming a bit stressed, fighting allergies, and a dying cell phone battery along with shooting it by yourself, its still the best video out there for this Accord model.
    UPDATE:
    So I have now finished the job on my nearly 200,000 mile 2009 Accord. Tried one of the quick fix videos to replace VTC Actuator and jumped a tooth or two and had to take this whole bad boy apart because there is literally no way to fix the chain at the crank because of the Timing Chain Cover. Soo......
    Replaced:
    VTC Actuator (Grinding noise maker)
    Timing Chain (which was stretched)
    All 3 Chain Guides which actually still looked good.
    VTC Oil Control Solenoid
    Valve Cover Gasket
    Spark Plug Seals
    Valve Cover Grommets
    Chain Tensioner
    O-Ring for Chain Case on Timing Cover (91302-PNA-004)
    Hondabond for Timing Chain Cover (waited 3 days after applying)
    Oil Change after first ride to verify no leaks or issues.
    This was a pretty rough job to be honest. Felt like I bit off more than I could chew but this video was basically my main walk through video and just a couple others for specific questions I had. But engine now starts grinding free, sounds quieter than it did before and I'm hoping the Solenoid among others will help the oil burn I was having as well.
    TIPS:
    Buy the Lisle Harmonic Balancer socket for the crankbolt. I've never had an easier time getting a bolt off. I soaked it for a day or so in PB Blaster and it spun right off with my 1/2' Dewalt.
    DO use the little soft bristled brush attachment for Dremel or similar tool to clean old gasket off of timing cover and engine. Yes, there will be a few bits of metal that fly off but I'm telling you, your not going to clean that thing up by hand unless you spend a week on it and shops obviously use these all the time without issue.
    Get a 2nd person to help with Timing Cover placement so you prevent smearing everywhere and possible future leaks.
    Be patient on those 3 bolts for Timing Cover at the Oil Pan. Brutal lol. Did them by hand, turn at a time as I didn't have an attachment to go from beneath splash shield. It can be done :)
    Have an extending magnet tool. You WILL drop bolts in the craziest places and fishing them out with a magnet is life saving!
    Don't skimp on parts. Buy the best you can afford. You don't want to do this job twice.
    Enjoy

    The amount of work required to do this job is insane. I'm upset with Honda for manufacturing cars with this well known defect. I had the issue repaired once while the car was under warranty but now so many years later after the warranty expired they're not going to cover the repairs again. Pure BS! Great job to you for showing us how to do this for any brave souls willing to take on this job.

      My gripe, as I'm sure is yours, is that having solved reliability issues with the foundational components of these engines, design flaws seem to mar the promise that these tech advancements have to offer.

    One suggestion. As a rule it is better to place RTV sealant on a stationary surface that the attaching component. I this case working in the blind and the likelihood of smearing off even a small portion of sealant from the timing cover could result in an oil leak and a redo! Good video though, even with the miss-step with the intake cam sprocket! That job was a bear to do and I for one could not have done as well with the distractions of trying to offer instructions and video and concentrate on the enormous task at had! Well done sir!

    Thanks for such a detailed video, I have watched it several times in preparation for doing the procedure on my honda and I want to do the procedure on the cheap by replacing only the chain and tensioner with genuine Honda, I have a couple of questions:
    1) Under what situation do I need to change the VVT actuator what about guides ?
    2) I want to buy a cheap air impact gun (300lb Ft) to remove the crankshaft pulley, is 300 lb Ft enough to loosen the 19 mm nut ?
    3) If I engage the manual transmission in first gear and pull the e-brake can I loosen the 19mm crankshaft nut with a 19 mm socket and a huge breaker bar ?

      Thanks for the compliments and I'm glad you found it helpful!
      As to your first question, if the engine has a loud grinding/rattling sound at cold startup, then the VTC phasor should be replaced.
      A visual inspection of the guides is necessary but I'm guessing that you could possibly get by without replacing them.
      As for the the gun, I'm not sure that 300 ft.lbs will be enough.
      Is there anyway you could swing by a shop and slide them a few bucks to try a more powerful gun?
      The trick with locking the trans could work but a better bet would be to try and lock the flywheel to the bell housing with a pry bar wedged in between the starter teeth.

    It's CRAZY that I am even still contemplating buying this 09 Accord with the 2.4 engine (102k miles) for $7,900.00 before financing because, The second he started it, It started tapping from the top end just momentarily & then went away almost as fast as it happened! THE TAPPING NOISE LASTED MAYBE 2-3 SECONDS MAYBE AT THE MOST=5 SECONDS BUT, AS SOON AS IT STARTED, IT STOPPED(it seemed like it only lasted 1 or 2 seconds) & the car ran fine from then on! It ran like a brand new car at least it seamed to have, to me! The only thing I noticed was, from a dead stop, when I would floor it, it did not have much power for the 1st second or two & then it would build power& had good power after a second or two, idk if that is the way it is supposed to be or if its part of the traction control but, there would be no peeling out! The oil looked really old & black & a smidge low but at 1st glance, I just assumed it needed an oil change! Now, after the weather warms up, I could do the timing chain upon studying & watching many video's but, I have never dealt with variable cam timing-(vct)& do not know much about it! I did a timing belt on my 1st gen zetec focus about 2 years ago & all went well but, IT DOES NOT HAVE VCT! DO YOU THINK IT IS WORTH BUYING? 102K MILES, APPEARS & DRIVES LIKE NEW! I did hear a very slight wa wa wa of maybe a busted belt or, a bad wheel bearing in the front passenger wheel but, I am well versed in doing press in style wheel bearings- (If its the bearing & not the tire) SEEMS TO ME THAT FACTOTY BEARINGS ARE GREASE FILLED & AFTERMARKET BEARINGS ARE OIL FILLED & AFTER CHANGING THEM, YOU THEN HAVE TO CHANGE THEM VERY OFTEN THERAFTER! I have never coughed up the money & bought a factory wheel bearing, I have only bought them from the aftermarket & have not had good luck with them so, I wonder if I should spnd the ridiculous price & get a factory replacement wheel bearing-maybe it's properly filled with grease instead of oil & maybe it would last another 10-15 years unlike months from an aftermarket brand? Anyways, 09 Accord 2.4 w/102k miles=$7,900.00 before any financing with a momentary tapping upon a cold start. each start thereafter it did not make the tapping noise!!!

    • @EKHondaMotive
      @EKHondaMotive  4 роки тому +1

      If you haven't committed to that Accord, I'd hold out for a better example.
      The racket at cold start is from a failing VTC actuator. It stops making noise once it's pumped up with oil pressure.
      Aside from the apparent lackluster maintenance history, and issues with the VTC system, they're also known for having oil consumption issues.
      At that price point, I'd look for one that has had the pistons and rings replaced (under the warranty extension).
      All the best!

    Thanks for the detailed video! Appreciate the time and trouble you went to! My daughter has a 2014 CR-V we bought in Dec 2018 with around 55k miles. Feb 2019 got camshaft position sensor code. Started running bad and in July 2019 at 61000 got chain, tensioner and vvt actuator replaced, actuator part #14310-R5A-305. Car has used oil a lot of oil since purchase. Current mileage is 97200. Rattle upon cold start is back so the actuator is bad again. No cam codes yet.
    Been running myself crazy trying to figure this thing out on the internet and I’m hoping you have time to read this and answer some questions. I feel like you will give some no BS answers!
    1. Excessive oil consumption - PCV valve is good - I checked and cleaned yesterday. It was replaced and was still clean. I assume rings are needed - would a top end rebuild fix this? Any chance Honda would help?
    2. Is there an updated actuator part number that fixes rattle for good? Does the rattle hurt anything if the oil consumption is corrected?
    3. Is this engine just a POS that will not last the 200k that I expect?
    Thanks again for taking the time to read this!

    • @EKHondaMotive
      @EKHondaMotive  3 роки тому +1

      Thanks for the compliments!😁
      For starters, the piston rings are known to stick causing increased oil consumption.
      As a consequence, the motor invariably runs low on oil between oil changes. Coupled with an already problematic cam phasor, the rattling is the end result of a comedy of errors.
      Depending on how attached you are to the truck, replacing the piston rings is the curative course of action.
      I would however be remiss if I failed to advise you not be shocked to have to re-ring the engine in another 100k (I've had to put a 2nd set in an Accord at a little over 200k miles!)😑
      The job is quite involved but if you've already tackled the chain job, it's in your wheelhouse.
      As for an updated part number, I haven't one of the top of my head but asking if there is one from your parts guy can't hurt.
      That said, I hope this help.
      Good luck and don't hesitate to reach out @thegqtech on IG or thegqtech@gmail.com.

      I know this comment is a year old but for anyone wondering the updated part number for the actuator is 14310-R5A-305. It has blue bolts on the side which is how you can differentiate it from the old part. It should fix the rattle. If you install the old part it is basically guaranteed that the rattle will come back if you had a rattle previously (or so I've heard).

      @EKHondaMotive  5 років тому +3

      Glad it helped.
      Because the oil pump and balance shafts don't offer as much resistance as the camshafts (from the springs), that chain typically doesn't suffer wear like the main chain.
      The only time I've had to take that off is when I'm taking pistons out.
      I believe I have a video of that process.
      If I can find it I'll upload it.

    When setting timing for tdc with the chain off do you have to find TDC after exhuast stroke.or since I'm putting a new chain on if i align all my marks I'm good.so what I'm asking is does it matter or as long as I'm TDC is that setting the timing for the first stroke cycle.

      Hello!
      Top dead center for cylinder number one is the only marking on the crank that lines up with the index (arrow head) on the block and is always the same piston position in the block.
      The orientation of the valves is what determines what stroke the engine is on.
      For TDC #1, that's exhaust and intake valves closed. This will have the line marks on both cams pointing to each other.
      With a new chain, this should correspond to the colored links lining up with dots on the crank & camshaft sprockets.
      I hope this helps.

    So right around 55:00 after you put the chain on, if your chain has jumped a tooth, how do you rotate the sprockets to get them all alligned? Or do you simply just put the chain on in the correct spots (with the gold links and arrows) in whatever orientation the sprockets are already in?

    Hey, OHT! I have a 2012 accord lx 4cyl with 105k...........the service booklet and maintenance mixer said 124, which is oil change, serpentine belt and spark plugs. It says to change timing chain on V6 version........do you think I should change it now or it still has life left? The car still runs fine.

    • @EKHondaMotive
      @EKHondaMotive  5 років тому +3

      The "4" service interval, as regards the timing belt, only refers to V6 motors. Starting 2003, the 4 cylinder engines were equipped with timing chains, lubricated by the engine oil.
      The timing chains shouldn't need to be changed as long as oil changes are performed religiously and punctually. The contaminants the oil ends up carrying in it cause excessive wear on the links of the chain and cause them to stretch, necessitating the chain's replacement.
      If you don't have a P0341, nor a grinding noise from the engine on cold starts, I'd not be worried about it.

    • @EKHondaMotive
      @EKHondaMotive  3 роки тому +1

      The short answer is, "No. They were 'intended' to be lifelong parts."
      The problem is that the oil, upon which the longevity of the chain relies, has a change interval that's too long (for the conditions it experiences). As such, elevated friction levels cause the chain to stretch.
      Additionally, it would appear that the revisions to the cam phasors make them less reliable/resilient...the '03-'07's didn't [commonly] suffer from the start-up rattle/grinding noises that afflict the newer models.
      Hope that wasn't too long winded.

      When installing a new chain, alignment is made easy by just using the colored links at all three points.
      As long as the points are in the correct position at all three spots, the timing will be correct. Installing the tensioner may be a challenge if the camshafts move but having a helper hold the camshafts might be necessary.

    I have a 2010 Honda Accord. I swapped the VTC actuator as well as the timing chain. All marks were in place where they needed to be. I cranked the entire system to make sure all was well, but never put the marks back to where they should. Both cam shafts and the crank shaft were on time with each other either way. When i turned the car back on, i got a check engine light with code "P0341". Am i right in assuming that i got that error code because i did not put the system back to where the marks needed to be before starting it up? Which is why the crank and cam shaft sensors are reporting an "incorrect phase"?

    • @EKHondaMotive
      @EKHondaMotive  4 роки тому

      P0341 would be caused by the timing being off. Your turning the engine over and the marks not coming back to time indicate that they weren't quite right.
      Were the marks lined up with the gold links before turning it over? Is the tensioner new? Was it released before barring the engine over?
      I hate to say it but you'll have to go back and make sure the marks all lined up with the correct gold colored links before you turn the engine over. Then you turn it over until you're back at TDC. You might not have the links lined up. Nonetheless, the crank cog (or the 2nd set of marks on the harmonic damper) should line up with the corresponding mark on the block(or the timing cover), and the marks on the cam sprockets should line up with each other like this )--->

      Ok, to start...
      I hate to say that it's my opinion that it was just an unfortunate coincidence that a "cash grab" upsell preceded what might have occurred naturally.
      That said, how'd they come to the conclusion that the timing chain needed to be replaced?
      If the decision was based on a DTC, was it P0340 (then yeah, I'd agree) or P1009 (might just need a PCM update)?
      Also, your engine has been found to be susceptible to premature piston ring wear causing excessive oil consumption which can lead to premature timing chain stretch...causing a P0340.
      I'd raise a bit if a stink and demand an oil consumption test.
      You'll be asked to pay for an oil change and come back periodically to see how much is being consumed.
      If deemed excessive, then you might be eligible for a lot of warranty work, which may include new pistons and rings AND (!) the chain job.😊👍
      Based on the numbers you've given me, I'd have to say that I'd find a repugable, independent (Honda) service guy, like me, local to you to keep the Accord in shape for reasonable cost.

    One more question , My timing chain has jumped 4 teeth how do I adjust the camshafts after removing the chain? should I unbolt the cams from the head and realign or rotate them while they are bolted to the head? Or is there another way to do it

    • @EKHondaMotive
      @EKHondaMotive  5 років тому +1

      🤔
      Let's start with establishing that this engine is an interference engine.
      Not sure that the valves would've touched at -4 teeth but, I'd remove the chain and reassemble it with old parts and see if it idles...saving the new parts (if they can be returned.)
      Fingers crossed, it doesn't need head work.
      Caution: we're only looking for the engine to idle. Don't rev it .
      But to answer your other question, the engine can be timed without lifting the camshafts out...
      ...you might need a helping hand to keep things from slipping around.

    Queston " why does the VVT actuator have to be in the UNLOCKED position when its install on the camshaft ?

    • @EKHondaMotive
      @EKHondaMotive  5 років тому +1

      Thanks for that very perceptive question.
      It is precautionary.
      Honda's worried about damage to the vanes and other internals of the actuator as the bolt is torqued.
      The prescribed procedure has the assembly torqued to the camshaft whilst out of the engine. Since the instructions offer no explanation (just a warning) it is my guess that they're insuring against any jarring that might occur during torquing in this manner.
      I have witnessed, firsthand, the destruction of one by a technician who used an impact gun to tighten the bolt. Unfortunately for him, he only found out after starting the engine!!!
      As for me, I install the actuator on the shaft locked, loosely install the bolt and torque it after the camshaft and timing chain are installed securely.
      I hope that answers your question.

I have spend over a thousand dollar but I still couldnot figure it out. DO you think it is timing chain problem at 50000 miles?? Any help will be highly appreciated.

    • @EKHondaMotive
      @EKHondaMotive  4 роки тому +3

      Hi!
      You have several codes from two basic categories of engine operation: misfire codes (P030X codes) and engine timing codes (P034X) and while engine timing issues can cause misfires, I like to proceed as if they are independent variables.
      Now, I am also going to assume that you meant you'd replaced the cam and crank sensors and not the shafts themselves (!).
      So, back to your question; Honda's variable timing control (VTC) system uses the camshaft sensor to keep track of the pre-programmed changes in cam timing in reference to the crank's position during the various power modes the engine may be in. This is called the PHASE. Depending on how you retrieve the code, you may get the misleading "Canshaft sensor circuit range/performance" definition or the more accurate "Camshaft position sensor incorrect phase detected".
      Now while your average parts cannoneer would advise on replacing whatever the code references (and this occasionally works), there are tests to confirm what is working and what's not.
      All that hot air to say that it's not possible to diagnose the problem in the comment section.
      Your engine's VTC oil circuit may have issues (solenoid or filter clogged...see Señor ScannerDanner's related video) but commonly, higher mileage engines that have had their oil changed less frequently than 3 months or 3,000 miles may have their timing chains experience chain stretch. This affects the aforementioned cam-to-crank phasing and cannot be accommodated by the VTC system...
      Replacing the stretched chain is the only solution...if that's the problem.
      Inspecting the chain tensioner's extension by removing the inspection cover and measuring it would confirm the chain's condition.
      Also, quick tip, might as well replace the VTC actuator while you're in there.
      I hope that long winded explanation helped.

    • @EKHondaMotive
      @EKHondaMotive  4 місяці тому

      Hi!
      Hopefully, the alignment was done before the tension was released from the chain and before the chain was removed....!
      But if the chain is off, and the crank and cam shafts are not aligned, the simplest way is to:
      1. Turn the crankshaft, very slowly by hand, 90⁰ from the TDC mark. This to put all the pistons at half stroke.
      If ANY resistance is felt, stop and go 90⁰ the other direction past TDC.
      2. Align the camshafts (there are alignment marks on the sprokets).
      3. Bring the crankshaft back to the TDC mark.
      Hope this helps.

    could someone give advice?...i have a 2007 accord with 89k. the timing chain cover has a leak and it's under warranty. but the mechanic strongly suggests i replace the chain and do a valve adjustment since it will be opened up already for the cover fix. cost is $300 to $400. is this a decent investment?

    • @EKHondaMotive
      @EKHondaMotive  3 роки тому

      Hi!
      First things first, provided oil changes are kept up with, theoretically timing chains are designed to last the life of the vehicle.
      That said, the common problems that afflict the chain driven motors weren't prevalent with your model.
      As long as the oil level wasn't low and your engine has no other running issues, I'd have the cover sealed (verify the leak beforehand and that the repair is performed afterwards) and call it a day.
      I am curious though, the pricing for the chain and valve adjustment (+$300?) is very reasonable. I take it the repairs will be performed with OE parts???
      Ask what the valve adjustment costs by itself.

If you know your car has this and you didn’t get the chance to get it repaired, you should be checking and topping off your oil weekly as needed if you want a long life out of the engine. You may benefit from using the cheaper conventional oil since it will be wasting it and you’ll be replacing it often.

      @@EKHondaMotive I forgot to thank you for the video tho. By far the best on youtube! (And funny)
      I’m sad to say that even after replacing stretched chain and tensioner I didn’t fix the awful vibrating sound the seems to be coming from inside the intake manifold.

    Camera work was ridiculously awful, monologue was actually worse than the vomit inducing video work.

      I've been advised against responding to negative comments but I'm not a "fair weather" type 'o guy so here goes...
      While I apologize for the awfully nauseating production you perceived my labor of love as being, I find that those who criticize so bitterly typically haven't tried to videograph their passion and share it with the world on a virtually nonexistent budget.
      Thanks for watching all the same.
