Great video, I purchased my first Honda a year ago, 2007 Civic 1.8 L DX. Using your video I replaced the engine, " the old owner blew a coolant line and drove until it stopped dead". One thing is for sure, I will never buy another one. I am 6,3 and 260 lbs with large hands. These cars were not made to work on for men my size, LOL. However your video was a great tutorial.
Thanks! Helped me remove and install engine in 2009 honda civic. Only problem I had was I forgot to hook up the camshaft position sensor on the top back of motor behind the intake. Caused a CEL light and "D" flashing whenever vechicle started , which took a while due to the p0365 code from a faulty camshaft position sensor. The whole time it was the sensor not connected. Starts and runs fine no issues. Thanks!
Thank you for posting this extremely helpful video! I swapped a blown engine for a replacement JDM in my daughter's 2009 civic last weekend and your video/instructions came in very handy. Appreciate you sharing your knowledge! :)
thanks for the video...My friends motor tossed a rod...pieces all over the front of the engine...Unfortunately I am in Canada, so nothing is coming apart easily...lots of broken bolts...nuts rusted to a different shape...this video will help me a lot and save me a great deal of time
Thanks for creating this video. It was very simply and clear. Although I know it will take me a couple days to completely replace my engine as I am just a backyard mechanic.
Thank you brother! been reading on my wife's civic, it's a 2012 lx with a R18Z1 and it hydrolocked apparently and blew out the bottom. Not sure if I should swap for another R18 or just see what happened underneath it. This is the only video I could find on yt that comes close to her car and by far the best and informative for 8th gen. Hoping 9th generation will be similar. I have pulled honda engines a bit in my youth, but only 4th 5th and 6th generations. swaps, fabricating, making little race cars. I don't like working on her car to be honest, especially compared to my ek hatch. Thank you for taking the time out to make this video.
I will say civic are identical even though it newer version. The 2012 and the one I did it didn't change much. Thanks for for watching don't forget to help subscribe ok brother.
I had a problem with the torque converter stuck in the crankshaft. This made removing the engine a struggle because of the extra clearance required. Even with the engine out and on the ground the torque converter took a lot of effort to pry loose. Not sure what to do in situations like this. Fortunately I was able to get the TC back into the transmission correctly and then installing the new engine following your video was easy.
Yeah that year of civic was bad design the tc ripple in the back is tight when disengage tc from flex plate take a lot effort. Gladly you manage it out. In my video I did warning everyone about it. You did a great job buddy.
I'm already contemplating if this is worth it. How much was engine you bought? Plus I believe my heater core is junk. Still cheaper than buying a car, but a lot of money.
If you have access to a vehicle lift and jack that has a big flat table then it is much easier to remove the engine and transmissions out of the vehicle and work on it from there you just have to drop the sub frame which is difficult at all. Doing it from the bottom you can leave everything on the engine except the A/C compressor obviously unless you can extract the R134 properly. Otherwise though this is an extremely informative video. P.S. if you are only replacing the block then please do not forget the black rubber coolant diverter that goes in from of cylinder number 1 in a square corner inside the coolant passage. Otherwise the engine will take forever to get to operating temperature.
Thanks for taking the time to make such a helpful video. I’m going to be doing this on a 2006 with a 5 speed manual. Do you know if there is room to move the engine to the passenger side enough to get the clutch assembly off the transmission input shaft and be able to then lift the engine straight up like you did in this video? Thanks!
In my channel I have 2 video removed seized engine. One was honda pilot and the other was lexus sc430. This 2 video should give you ideas how to remove it.
I have a 2008 civic with a blown motor. I’ve noticed eBay has many jdm motors with low mileage at a very competitive price. Is a jdm motor of the the same make and model a straight across swap?
I will probably never remove the engine but I own this same vehicle and this was so cool to watch. Could you now use the engine on display to point out the different parts/areas that go bad, like where will these engines most likely leak from. Thanks a bunch and God bless.
If that is the engine in the 2008 Civic, I have experienced the crack in the block. Front face of the engine, vertical crack. Car was 8 years old, 191,000 miles when the crack developed. Looked up info online, saw where the recall had been extended. Took the car to Honda, they verified the crack. Lent me a new Accord, three days later I got the car back with a new long block installed. Not rebuilt but a new engine from Honda. Still have that car, my daily commuter now with 330,000 miles. I have bought two new Hondas since then. Only cars I buy, Honda and Toyota.
Awesome video! Thanks so much for the information :) 2 questions for you at 6:52 you have a long wrench with low profile rachet ends on it. I have never seen one of those before. Do you have a link or name of the tool? Also at 11:30 you use a 90 degree angled adapter. I could find them for drills, but does yours use 1/4 or 3/8 inputs?
@@bryanslocks3481 meh, HF has some good cheap stuff, just gotta know what to get and what not to get. Like their Jack stands lol don't do it. A lot of crap I will admit but a lot of decent stuff. They have the Daytona jacks and is exactly the same jack as one of snap ons, exactly lol, from same place they make them. A lot of their 6 point sockets are great, especially for the price.
Michael McGlothlin I agree to some extent. I only buy disposable nitrile gloves and floor mats there. Everything else I own is Craftsman, when they were made in the US of A of course.
I have to do a clutch on my 07. Would it be easier just pull the engine? I don't have a lift, and I would rather not do the whole job underneath the car.
can i ask you ?, i hear noise (ket ket) in flywheel when start and stop engine, when stop engine flywheel no spinning i hear it (ket ket). may be shaft head friction with hole center on flywheel, i guess. i so will need hear you advice. thanks
sr, AT civic 2008, i hear it while start and run. all smooth except noise zone flywheel. special @@alltsab -when stop engine flywheel no spinning i hear it (ket ket)-
If the flex plate and transmission bolts are out then the torque converter nipple is catching on the flywheel hole( same thing happened to me) . Make sure the engine and trans completely aligned, you maybhave to lower the engine a little. Use the 17mm bolt holes on the engine and trans as refference. Anyone done the engine and trans together without unbolting them? Its honestly seems easier
I struggled for hours trying to separate the flex plate and torque converter, then came back and read your comment so I dropped the engine just a little and wiggled it back and forth and I heard a loud twang and they separated. Thanks for the advice.
I'm having an issue with the torque converter being stuck on the flywheel. I believe that the Converter is sized on the flywheel because the vehicle has been siting outside for over 2 years.
I have a 1999 Honda Civic I think I spent a rod bearing it sounds horrible want to know if I can get a V6 engine to put in there and replace it if so what years of cars do I need to look for in the junkyard to find it
Hi my car is a 2007 honda civic lx with a manual transmission. Can the engine and transmission be seperated and the engine removed from the top without the transmission??
@@alltsab I pulled out 6 bolts I will check again. There were no fly wheel bolts like on the automatic either, I assume that's normal? Thank you! Great video by the way!
Only takes hour to remove that front cowling in the radiator and then that's nothing's in the way you're fighting it out of there and it should just come right out the front right of itself AC condenser
I watched another video where he ran into the same problem briefly. It turned out to be a ground issue. There was a 10mm bolt that connects the wiring harness to the driver side of the block. I think it was the wiring harness for the coils and Altrernator but I'm not sure. Good luck!
I don’t think you have to disconnect any components such as starter alternator or ac other than the axels if you just disconnect the harnesses disconnect all lines and want to pull out engine and transmission you should be able to if your doing all at the same time, just be very careful when pulling out because you won’t have a lot of room
K series should fit because the si is the same. But there is a lot work. For me I will not put K series in this I rather just buy the si model it will be better and cheaper way to do it.
The difference would be instead of just having a thin plate(I don't feel like even calling that a flexplate) you'd be dragging along the clutch assembly. Not too sure if it would clear - but hope to know if it does.
A video of a Cat dancing gets 70 million Views, this informative video that actually helps people solve problems get 23k. I lost all hope in humankind :(
Because society today doesn't care and I read an article once saying over 80% usa citizens don't even know how to replace a flat tire on the side of the road. That's scary LIKE THAT SHOULD BE THE BARE MINIMUM FOR SOMEONE TO KNOW IF THEY DRIVE.
my car has an engine failure. I went to one of the repair shops, and i was told it was going to cost me around $4000 to get a used engine plus labor. I don't have that money. so i went on ebay and someone was selling an engine for $600. I'm thinking of purchasing the engine myself then pay someone for the labor because I have no confidence in doing an engine swap. What is your advice?
If that engine is good then buy it. I bought this engine from LKQ it's cost around 900$. If you done any engine swap before you can do it very simple and easy.
@@lameckmukala1689 I think an honest shop would charge about $1k to install the new engine. I think it's about an 8-10 hour job. But even still $1600 for a new used engine Installed might be worth it because these engines last forever if you find a 2010 or 2011 engine block.
@@nawidyusuf8254 I would buy a USDM engine on lkq and make sure it's a 2010 or 2011 just to be safe. I would assume the jdm blocks are made the same way
@@alltsab With a manual transmission you don't have to drop the transmission before removing the engine? There is enough room in the engine bay to separate them and remove engine from the top?
I heard that you won't have enough room on a manual trans. I haven't seen any videos of it though. I'm pretty sure the shaft wouldn't clear so be ready to remove both engine/trans together
@@gregoryjames6051 Best to have little hands (: but if you want to pull the whole thing out then unbolt the header, ac and powersteering. Gotta remove the battery and battery tray. Unbolt shifter cables, pop axles and lower ball joints on control arms to give you room to pop axles. unbolt the 3 bolts that hold the bracket to the trans on the back side. Undo the rest of the mounts then lower the engine and pull off the side trans mount off the chasis and then out it comes. reverse to get engine back in.
@@Coinbro I have it parked I still start it to keep it running I was hoping it was the head gasket I am going to put it up on ramps and have a better look this spring ,too winter like here now I have seen posts on the Honda forum where they say they leak from a crack behind the starter I have friends that still had warranty and had their blocks replaced but their leaks were at the front .
@@twistedsledder yeah let me know mine is like a wierd leak I can see a build up on the exhaust right in the middle on back side but car runs sometimes I have to add coolant sometimes not last summer it almost overheated three times on a trip it sucks cuz I think maybe its the heater hose or core which is in the middle of firewall maybe a bad hose I will try to let you know first I thought was bad head gasket but its gone all year since it started so like 15000 more miles if gasket was bad I'm sure it would have broke down
You saved yourself about 3 hours of work if you just pull that transmission out with the engines do it on the ground or on a pallet and then do make sure he gets 500 bolts off before you take it out of the car cuz it's on the pallets possible to get those burgers
I am planning on getting this car. But my mech does not like fixing this generation of civic. Says there's little to no space in the engine bay for basic fixes What's your taught? Is it really harder to fix than other cars?
Everything on this car is a pain to work on except maybe the spark plugs but that’s even debatable some stuff you can’t even get a quarter turn on the bolts you have to do like an eighth of a turn for some stuff in it.
hello I have CRV 2009 ex 4wd 209000 km. there is no check engine light. the engine make some noise and vibration at idle and hard accelration power . the cylindre compresion is correct I have change spark plugs. there is no leake and coil , injector are correct. After scan honda say ther is misfire in cylindre 4 at idle. after check they propose first a valve ajustment and if the problem stay there propose chain kit change. what you think . if i change chain kit does the engine will be correct or it is better change engine. thank you
If you change spark plug, ignition coil, and injector you still have miss fire will will say it could be crack cylinder head water leak to your cylinder. Not a lot but enough to creat miss fire. You can do a leak down test or just check on that spark plug to see little red in it. Please subscribe if you have not thanks for visit my channel.
Engine is the same only transmission is different. But a lot work if you convert auto to manual or manual to auto. The main harness is different ecu also different. If you do it for fun then worthy but if you do it to drive then I prefer just go buy a car that already came like that from the factory.
@@alltsab I have the manual car version I just wanna buy an automatic engine then put the manual tranny with the auto engine does that make sense? The car has everything the pedals and harness it’s just the engine I’m changing please help let me know
@@alltsab got it all done. Your video helped tremendously! Thank you. I tore the engine mount trying to remove the bolt. Instead of the bolt coming out, it got stuck and twisted the rubber material and it tore. I bought a new one from O'Reilly. You showed 4 transmission bolts in your video, but there are two more bolts on the sides. It wasn't a big deal to find them though. I don't have a powerful impact so I didn't remove the axle. This did make it difficult to remove the starter, but not impossible. I removed the exhaust pipe which helped a little. I've replaced the starter before so it wasn't too terrible. I didn't realize you were using a special socket to remove the O2 sensor. I had to go buy one :). I'm glad I have one now. I didn't have an engine lift so I used my tractor to lift it out. Overall it went exactly the way you showed. And hey, your tip to be careful to not let the torque converter fall out - that was an awesome tip! I would not have known that so you saved me from a huge mess! Again, thank you very much for your video! I have you to thank for my success today. You are awesome!!!

How can I do knock sensor. I have 2009 honda civic same as this. Trying to do it without taken off intake manifold
@@gregoryjames6051 Those pesky 10 millimeters lol
When removing the motor, do you have to take out the axle? Replacing just the motor
No you don't have to take the axle unless you will take both engine and transmission out at the same time.
Alright thanks, when removing the motor, do you take out the starter first, or can you take it off when the motor is out?
I don’t think you have to disconnect any components such as starter alternator or ac other than the axels if you just disconnect the harnesses disconnect all lines and want to pull out engine and transmission you should be able to if your doing all at the same time, just be very careful when pulling out because you won’t have a lot of room
Just unbolt the ac and move out of the way
Hi sir did you know if a acura rsx fits in that car?
K series should fit because the si is the same. But there is a lot work. For me I will not put K series in this I rather just buy the si model it will be better and cheaper way to do it.
Where did you buy the engine
Buy it from LKQ
Is it a lot of work if I swap mine to si engine and swap the transmission to manual.
yes
You can just convert the automatic tranny to a manual. That's what I did with my ek hatch.
this is awesome and straight forward. Question did you need to drain out all the coolant and drain the transmission oil and oil out of the car prior?
Yes
@@alltsab Thanks and can i put the same oil/transmission oil and coolant back in if everything was recently changed
@anonymous yes but for this hard work I think all new is better
@@alltsab hanks sir much appreciated I liked and subscribed
@@Random.Adventures. thanks 😊
Amazing need more details from other videos like you decribe
Do you have remove the alternator?
Everything as you see in this video
To much work i ll call to the yomk yard i buy the engine. But hard to do this job
Great video. Did we get so good at making this video due to the 2006-2009 block cracking issue which TSB 10-048 speaks about?
😊 thanks 😊
@@alltsab So the 2010 and 2011 blocks are exempt to the crack situation in TSB 10-048?
@@dennisrobinson8008 think so I have seen any problems in that year yet.
Can I also remove the engine using this procedure if I have a manual transmission?
Yes!
The difference would be instead of just having a thin plate(I don't feel like even calling that a flexplate) you'd be dragging along the clutch assembly. Not too sure if it would clear - but hope to know if it does.

A video of a Cat dancing gets 70 million Views, this informative video that actually helps people solve problems get 23k. I lost all hope in humankind :(
Thank you i love your comment.
Because society today doesn't care and I read an article once saying over 80% usa citizens don't even know how to replace a flat tire on the side of the road. That's scary LIKE THAT SHOULD BE THE BARE MINIMUM FOR SOMEONE TO KNOW IF THEY DRIVE.
How about for the 2006 hybrid?
Different
how much torque is that impact wrench
I don't remember but I think about 700 plus ft lbs
my car has an engine failure. I went to one of the repair shops, and i was told it was going to cost me around $4000 to get a used engine plus labor. I don't have that money. so i went on ebay and someone was selling an engine for $600. I'm thinking of purchasing the engine myself then pay someone for the labor because I have no confidence in doing an engine swap. What is your advice?
If that engine is good then buy it. I bought this engine from LKQ it's cost around 900$. If you done any engine swap before you can do it very simple and easy.
@@alltsab i have never done an engine swap. if i bought an engine, how much would i be charge for labor, just an estimation?
@@lameckmukala1689 I think an honest shop would charge about $1k to install the new engine. I think it's about an 8-10 hour job. But even still $1600 for a new used engine Installed might be worth it because these engines last forever if you find a 2010 or 2011 engine block.
@@georgeparker555 Do the JDM engines have issues with cracked blocks? Those seem to be what everyone is using for swaps.
@@nawidyusuf8254 I would buy a USDM engine on lkq and make sure it's a 2010 or 2011 just to be safe. I would assume the jdm blocks are made the same way
Can you do this the same way with a standard transmission?
Yes
@@alltsab With a manual transmission you don't have to drop the transmission before removing the engine? There is enough room in the engine bay to separate them and remove engine from the top?
I heard that you won't have enough room on a manual trans. I haven't seen any videos of it though. I'm pretty sure the shaft wouldn't clear so be ready to remove both engine/trans together
@@gregoryjames6051 Best to have little hands (: but if you want to pull the whole thing out then unbolt the header, ac and powersteering. Gotta remove the battery and battery tray. Unbolt shifter cables, pop axles and lower ball joints on control arms to give you room to pop axles. unbolt the 3 bolts that hold the bracket to the trans on the back side. Undo the rest of the mounts then lower the engine and pull off the side trans mount off the chasis and then out it comes. reverse to get engine back in.
Can you take out engine and trans together while they are still bolted to each other
Yes
@@alltsab through top or bottom
@@esmecolin either but top is easier
@@alltsab thank you
Where was that engine leaking mine has a leak at back of engine not the front where 90 percent seem to crack .
He wouldn’t understand your comment
The engine cracks from the front and rear with the "front" being close to the radiator and the "back" being closer to the firewall.
Did you ever figure it out mine is leaking on the back I cant see where but it's hitting the exhaust pipe where ever its falling from
@@Coinbro I have it parked I still start it to keep it running I was hoping it was the head gasket I am going to put it up on ramps and have a better look this spring ,too winter like here now I have seen posts on the Honda forum where they say they leak from a crack behind the starter I have friends that still had warranty and had their blocks replaced but their leaks were at the front .
@@twistedsledder yeah let me know mine is like a wierd leak I can see a build up on the exhaust right in the middle on back side but car runs sometimes I have to add coolant sometimes not last summer it almost overheated three times on a trip it sucks cuz I think maybe its the heater hose or core which is in the middle of firewall maybe a bad hose I will try to let you know first I thought was bad head gasket but its gone all year since it started so like 15000 more miles if gasket was bad I'm sure it would have broke down
You saved yourself about 3 hours of work if you just pull that transmission out with the engines do it on the ground or on a pallet and then do make sure he gets 500 bolts off before you take it out of the car cuz it's on the pallets possible to get those burgers
I am planning on getting this car. But my mech does not like fixing this generation of civic. Says there's little to no space in the engine bay for basic fixes
What's your taught? Is it really harder to fix than other cars?
Everything on this car is a pain to work on except maybe the spark plugs but that’s even debatable some stuff you can’t even get a quarter turn on the bolts you have to do like an eighth of a turn for some stuff in it.
Yes his right they are a pain in the butt.
Even with my tiny hands I rather not work on a Honda passed 6th gen.
hello I have CRV 2009 ex 4wd 209000 km. there is no check engine light. the engine make some noise and vibration at idle and hard accelration power . the cylindre compresion is correct I have change spark plugs. there is no leake and coil , injector are correct. After scan honda say ther is misfire in cylindre 4 at idle. after check they propose first a valve ajustment and if the problem stay there propose chain kit change. what you think . if i change chain kit does the engine will be correct or it is better change engine. thank you
If you change spark plug, ignition coil, and injector you still have miss fire will will say it could be crack cylinder head water leak to your cylinder. Not a lot but enough to creat miss fire. You can do a leak down test or just check on that spark plug to see little red in it. Please subscribe if you have not thanks for visit my channel.
With the automatic engine can you convert it into a manual? R18
Yes
Engine is the same only transmission is different. But a lot work if you convert auto to manual or manual to auto. The main harness is different ecu also different. If you do it for fun then worthy but if you do it to drive then I prefer just go buy a car that already came like that from the factory.
@@alltsab I have the manual car version I just wanna buy an automatic engine then put the manual tranny with the auto engine does that make sense? The car has everything the pedals and harness it’s just the engine I’m changing please help let me know
@@Omarvro1 that is perfect No problem. The engine can go to either auto or manual no problem. Good luck buddy
Make sure you take out your flywheel to to put in the new engine prefer buy new set of clutch and make sure resurface your flywheel too ok
About to do this swap this weekend. Everyone’s telling me I have to drop the motor to get it out but I don’t have a lift just stands. Pray for me XD
You can do either up or down but I prefer up its more easy. Good luck to u.
Yeah, Fwd vehicles they say to drop them but I have I only done that once and tbh I prefer to pull them.
have 06 civic same spot 13:30 trans leaking what could be? Thank you information
Honda civic have a bad block these year
Anybody try removing the engine with the subframe? Through the bottom?
Yes. I did that the first round, it was relatively easy but if you have a picker this way definitely seems way easier
Miguel Rodriguez i did my first swap in a 06 i bought with a cracked block, super easy with a cherry picker👍
@@JESUSD6765 thank you for the input. Never done this car with a picker so tomorrow will be the first time. Wish me luck
ok help cars blew up in flames and lost house, now what?
I'm about to do this in 30 minutes. Will check back in soon and let you know how it went...
Good luck buddy
@@alltsab got it all done. Your video helped tremendously! Thank you. I tore the engine mount trying to remove the bolt. Instead of the bolt coming out, it got stuck and twisted the rubber material and it tore. I bought a new one from O'Reilly. You showed 4 transmission bolts in your video, but there are two more bolts on the sides. It wasn't a big deal to find them though. I don't have a powerful impact so I didn't remove the axle. This did make it difficult to remove the starter, but not impossible. I removed the exhaust pipe which helped a little. I've replaced the starter before so it wasn't too terrible. I didn't realize you were using a special socket to remove the O2 sensor. I had to go buy one :). I'm glad I have one now. I didn't have an engine lift so I used my tractor to lift it out. Overall it went exactly the way you showed. And hey, your tip to be careful to not let the torque converter fall out - that was an awesome tip! I would not have known that so you saved me from a huge mess! Again, thank you very much for your video! I have you to thank for my success today. You are awesome!!!
@@elihappinesspie great job buddy
Anyone know if this has a timing belt, or timing chain ? I know these engines are meant to have a chain but I'm not too sure
All civic from 2006 up is timing chain.
@@alltsab I've got the euro 2011 Si, so just needed to double check as I'm coming up to 60k...that's one less of a problem lol
Dude whts your location🤣
So a 2015 will fit an2008?
No it different won't direct fit like 06 to 2011 one. Maybe modify to fit on that year
You know what modification?
I found out the coil pack are different so far
Are you Vietnamese?
I dont think so. There nothing look like Vietnam in the background and His accent not sound like a Vietnamese speaking English too.
I think maybe Japanese ?
