Man I appreciate your videos. You do it justice. Like you said a lot of people just film the quick process. We want details and in depth looks. It helps us noobs out. I’ve used every bit of info you’ve given out for my own civic. So big thanks man, we appreciate it.
Great job! Very informative with ALL the details which helps many back yard mechanics. I've been turning wrenches for over 55 years and I know many professionals will deliberately leave out the finite details because it brings money into their shops which is understandable however, if that's their game, they shouldn't be posting videos in the first place! Hope everything turned out well for you!
Much appreciated! Doing this chain job for a coworker, was looking for something to tell me if the crank and cams were at 0* and you clearly showed all the arrows and even those alignment pins 👍🏻 Thanks
What a huge help! Recently had my k24 jump time luckily only a tooth. Preparing to install a new chain kit tomorrow. Youre always very informative and actually show the process.
Very helpful. I just picked this motor up for my 93 Civic and plan on doing the same. Being new to K series i found this video a perfect example on how to get it done. 🤘
I want to replace the oil pump chain, do I need to remove the oil pan in able for me to get the chain removed? But I’m also going to replace the timing chain.
Dude thank you so much🙏🏼 there is hardly any good videos out there about things we need to see. Currently in the process of sourcing everything I need on my k24a swap for my 09 fa5🤞🏼
Gerb blown headgasket😔 had a bunch of problems leading up to it. Car was definitely abused before I got it. Only good part is the dealer I got it from put a brand new trans and clutch in it about 100 miles before I bought it. Haha. Been sourcing parts already and probably pulling my motor tomorrow and prepping to paint it and clean up the engine bay.
Thanks for the great video. If I were to change the timing tensioner only by taking the tensioner cover off, with the engine in the car - how can I ensure the chain does not jump timing? It looks like the guide becomes very loose once you take the tensioner off.
There's holes on the back on the cam phasers opposite side off the gear when you have both gear pointing at eachother. You put either the tool they sell in those holes to lock it in place or use drill bills once you do that you cams are set and you put bottom TDC. K24 has 2 colored links per cam mark and one colored for crank mark. One everything's lined up zip tie with out the tensioner thatl keep it in time and putt the tensioner on tighten it pull the pin. Cut zip ties you know the rest your 🙏
Great descriptive video! One question, I have an oil leak coming from the bottom right timing chain cover just above the oil pan right side. It looks like there’s no gaskets inside so a simple Honda bond reseal should work ?
Thanks for the nice video! Very helpful with my crv timing chain replacement. Stupid question, what's the lower chain, and do I need to replace it too? My kit came with a replacement, but I cant get the old one off.
HI mate great video. thank you....we have a k24z in my daughters 09 honda accord euro Australian spec..(acura tsx) over there.. it has the cold start rattle which were addressing shortly but also pings under load all the time..could this be the timing chain stretched or chain tensioner gone bad..? looking like ive got to remove the engine to do this job..? any advice appreciated..
This is super awesome! I am currently taking a k24a2 apart and I have no experience…. Why are you making sure everything lines up before you pull the chain off? Why did you want the piston closest to the chain at the highest point? Why did the tensioner need to be locked before being pulled out? Is their a specific order the bolts on the top of the head need to be removed?
Not trying to be a douchbag but this was a removal, not replacement. So maybe I'm supposed to know but I'd like to make sure. Is a installation of a new chain just in reverse order from your video? Thank you for your time and help.
Great Video! I have 2013 Accord sport and the cams do not have the pins on the other end. Any advice how to align the intake and exhaust cams? Thank you
1:00 What happens you I didn't set the engine to TDC before taking out the timing chain? My engine skipped timing so the marks don't even align. I already took the chain out did I mess anything up?
so i have a slight leak in my timing chain cover on a 2007 accord with 89k. it's under warranty for that but the mechanic recommends i replace the timing chain and have a valve adjustment at my expense since it will all be opened up anyway. $300-$400 for my end...do you think it's worth making this investment when there are no signs of needing these repairs? i plan to hang onto the car. appreciate any response.
Do you know how they ended up fixing the leak? I also have a leak on the cover just above the oil pan but I’m trying to see if I should just open up the cover and reseal it with Honda bond
@@vmanjose - i had them just replace the (timing chain) cover. didn't cost me anything since it was under warranty. i didn't have the additional stuff done although it wouldn't have been a bad idea; as a preventive thing. i just don't like doing work if it's not needed. for your situation, i would just make sure i knew which cover the leak was coming from and go from there.
The white dots/arrow on the cam gears are supposed to be between the different colored chain links and and line up the bottoms arrows and the chain link as well will have a different color on the chain that supposed to line up to marks on motor your at tdc but not in time perfect just letting you know
@@TheGerbsteve thanks for input, I hope ours continues problem free. I think I noticed some light wetness of possible gear oil around the output shaft during the last oil change. May be a seal, now to figure out if that’s a big job or if those additive sealers will work.
I’m helping my buddy out with one in the car right now. It’s not a lot of fun lol. Let’s just say, “tight” haha. It will be same process, but you’re going to have way less room. It is doable though, I’ve heard of a decent amount of people doing it themselves.
Keep in mind that the K24Z2 does not have a crank position sensor in the same location so you will have a washer instead of a sprocket on the crank shaft...
The only difference with the k20 is that the little dots on top of cams go in the middle of one black colored link instead of two like the k24. I wish you the best luck with the job 🙏🏼🔧
@@TheGerbsteve Don't know what kind of budget you're on but hptautosport sells the PRB oil pump kit that's already modified to fit the k24 block. Comes with everything but the oil pump chain tensioner you have to buy separately. That'll get you 9k safely if you ever decide to go with bigger cams.
ua-cam.com/video/vpD35ndGBoY/v-deo.html, but hang on, those punh marks woudl only be horizontal if the timing tcahin wa snot stretched and everythign is rosey, in whcih case you wouldnt be doing this? The ocrret way is to put the cover back on and line up the crank pulley with its tdc mark.
When replacing the timing chain, you also need to change all the gears for new ones, since the old gears already have a workout and a quickly stretched new chain! And so that the chain does not stretch and the gears do not wear out, protect them with XADO revitalizant !!! I had a case: I punctured the engine sump and lost all the oil, but I drove 80 miles to the repair site on my own !!! and the engine was empty. I replaced the pallet, filled in oil and drove on, and this is all thanks to XADO from Ukraine !!!

What a huge help! Recently had my k24 jump time luckily only a tooth. Preparing to install a new chain kit tomorrow. Youre always very informative and actually show the process.
What’s your mileage??
What were the symptoms after it jumped timing?
Thanks for the descriptive explanation you wouldnt think with how popular this engine is it would be so hard to find a good video on anything.
Very helpful. I just picked this motor up for my 93 Civic and plan on doing the same. Being new to K series i found this video a perfect example on how to get it done. 🤘
Thanks so much for the in depth timing chain guide cant wait to do this job on my build
I'd like to see the chain installation. I currently have an 06 honda accord with the 2.4 that im about to do a timing chain on.
Did you find an install video? I have to complete this task
I want to replace the oil pump chain, do I need to remove the oil pan in able for me to get the chain removed? But I’m also going to replace the timing chain.
@@HAZARDWILLdid you figure it out?
Dude thank you so much🙏🏼 there is hardly any good videos out there about things we need to see. Currently in the process of sourcing everything I need on my k24a swap for my 09 fa5🤞🏼
You are welcome and I hope these vids will help you when it’s time for your swap. What happened to your k20?

Anybody know what size that allan wrench is for that chain guide? #6?
Thanks for the great video. If I were to change the timing tensioner only by taking the tensioner cover off, with the engine in the car - how can I ensure the chain does not jump timing? It looks like the guide becomes very loose once you take the tensioner off.
Also what do you do when it’s at TDC but the horizontal marks don’t line up on the CAM gears??
There's holes on the back on the cam phasers opposite side off the gear when you have both gear pointing at eachother. You put either the tool they sell in those holes to lock it in place or use drill bills once you do that you cams are set and you put bottom TDC.

You inspire me to go back to working on my car again brotha thank you!!!
Nice video, but other than the basic stuff to replace is anything else needed? Like the ECM? Have an 07 si sedan and am new to this kind of stuff.
I’ll be ding mine this weekend thanks. Can you attach the link to the install video to my comment lol or the description. ✌️
Great descriptive video! One question, I have an oil leak coming from the bottom right timing chain cover just above the oil pan right side. It looks like there’s no gaskets inside so a simple Honda bond reseal should work ?
Try some good old Honda bond, stuff is a life saver
Thank you for this. I get the pleasure of tackling this myself.
Is removing the entire engine the only way to put in a new timing chain?
I need to know the same thing
I have seen vids where it was in the car.
@@alm1ghty4l90 I have seen vids where it was in the car.
very simple, very helpful brother, thanks man.
Great video & detail ….Can you make an install timing chain video …
What size is the Allen wrench?
Thanks for the nice video! Very helpful with my crv timing chain replacement. Stupid question, what's the lower chain, and do I need to replace it too? My kit came with a replacement, but I cant get the old one off.
You’re welcome.. lower chain is for the oil pump and you can if you want, but a lot of people just leave it the way it is.
One of many great videos. My timing chain jumped so on to the tensioner. What is the part number for those cam shaft alignment pins?
Thank you man. I’m sorry to hear about the crap news. I don’t have the part #, just look em up online
HI mate great video. thank you....we have a k24z in my daughters 09 honda accord euro Australian spec..(acura tsx) over there.. it has the cold start rattle which were addressing shortly but also pings under load all the time..could this be the timing chain stretched or chain tensioner gone bad..? looking like ive got to remove the engine to do this job..? any advice appreciated..
Does the car start after the chain stretch?? Because my car won’t start after P0341 code came up
I have a Acura tsx 2.4l 2010
Love the k24. Why are there 2 different looks of the 9th gen si coupe (fg4)?
Some people like coupe, some people prefer sedan. Regardless, there is a market for both
Would be a great video if you actually finished the job.....i.e. SHOWED HOW TO INTALL THE NEW CHAIN AND GET THE TIMING CORRECT!
I think it’s just the idea is to do your prep work correctly and then it should be right when you do this all in reverse
Hi if’s posible to replace the tensioner tru the access plate in the timing cover?
This is super awesome! I am currently taking a k24a2 apart and I have no experience….
Why are you making sure everything lines up before you pull the chain off?
Why did you want the piston closest to the chain at the highest point?
Why did the tensioner need to be locked before being pulled out?
Is their a specific order the bolts on the top of the head need to be removed?
That’s to put it in timing so he can just put the new chain on and tighten everything back up
Not trying to be a douchbag but this was a removal, not replacement. So maybe I'm supposed to know but I'd like to make sure. Is a installation of a new chain just in reverse order from your video?
Thank you for your time and help.
Great Video! I have 2013 Accord sport and the cams do not have the pins on the other end. Any advice how to align the intake and exhaust cams? Thank you
Just align the marks on the cam sprockets, w/ no. 1 piston at t.d.c.
I’d like to see the chain install!
There is a Honda tool that holds the crank pully by the way you CANOT BUMP THE STARTER WITH A BREAKER BAR TO BUST THE BOLT FREE
Do I have to pull out my engine to replace the timing chain? Mine is stretched and I don’t know how to do this.
No, you can do it while the engine is in the car, just going to be a tight squeeze.
@@TheGerbsteve
A tight squeeze indeed, it's best to use a small ratchet 🤪
If just changing the tct as preventive maintenance and engine is still in car you wouldn’t need to put those pins in the cam gears to remove the tct?
Yes, I recommend using the cam pins so none of the gears move for replacing the vtc
Thank you. Exactly what I needed to continue.
Where did you get those pins that hold the cam
Thank you sir for the very informative video 👍 hey where can I get those lock pins at ?
You’re welcome. I bought mine on eBay
If there’s nothing wrong the chain cover you can just reuse it right?
Yes indeed
Great video bro any part number for the alignment pin tool
Thanks bro and no, I don’t have it. If you search Honda alignment pins, you should find them.
1:00 What happens you I didn't set the engine to TDC before taking out the timing chain? My engine skipped timing so the marks don't even align. I already took the chain out did I mess anything up?
Could you provide a link for the timing chain you used?
Bro thank you for this amazing video! Video is literally such a life saver!
so i have a slight leak in my timing chain cover on a 2007 accord with 89k. it's under warranty for that but the mechanic recommends i replace the timing chain and have a valve adjustment at my expense since it will all be opened up anyway. $300-$400 for my end...do you think it's worth making this investment when there are no signs of needing these repairs? i plan to hang onto the car. appreciate any response.

The white dots/arrow on the cam gears are supposed to be between the different colored chain links and and line up the bottoms arrows and the chain link as well will have a different color on the chain that supposed to line up to marks on motor your at tdc but not in time perfect just letting you know
Notice you said the mount needs to off, this can’t be done with the engine in can it?
Thanks man you are awesome dude all information is in the video
Excelente, vídeo muy bien explicado, es justo lo que estaba buscando

Hell yeah thanks man make one putting it back on
Showed me what I needed to know. Thanks!
Wouldn't mind seeing the process to remove the engine from the car.

Awesome video dude. Thank you.
Appreciate that. Hope it helps you 🤘🏼
Lunchable tray ftw!👌💪
He knows 🤣👌🏼
You should show the new chain and old chain side by side to see how much it stretched.
I plan on it bro 🤘🏼
They don’t stretch unless ran low on oil
How many miles before these have chain issues? I’ve not noticed any problem with mine but now I’m worried
60k - 105k depending on how severely it is driven
@@PsillyFL hmm we’ve got 120k on ours and have not had any issues there.
I've heard like 100k-120k, but the chain are meant to last forever, I believe. It's the tensioners that give out or cause the chain to wear.
@@TheGerbsteve thanks for input, I hope ours continues problem free. I think I noticed some light wetness of possible gear oil around the output shaft during the last oil change. May be a seal, now to figure out if that’s a big job or if those additive sealers will work.
Mine just stretched and jumped time at 265k miles
The timing marks on my oil chain don’t align with the arrow at TDC??
You have to keep cranking it until they align at first before removing anything
@@Ruben901 I got it figured out. Thanks for reply.
Great video and thank you, a big help.
Thank you so much for your vidio I really appreciate
Which timing chain did you use?
k24 tsx chain

Thank you, great tutorial.
Great video. Thank you so much
Liked and subscribed
Glad you liked it and thanks for the support !

Should be very similar

Great video. Way beyond my skills. Can't do it myself, yet very interesting to see how it's done.
If one can turn a wrench, and watch a video, most women can accomplish this repair.
Very informative. Thanks a lot.
Good video but what is that weird lady grunt @6:41?
Keep in mind that the K24Z2 does not have a crank position sensor in the same location so you will have a washer instead of a sprocket on the crank shaft...
thank you for the idea
Very descriptive, I really enjoy the output keep it up
Thank you, hope it helps you out 🤙🏼
should just put your z3 head on it. no need to upgrade the oil pump if you're not turboing it you can still rev out safely to 7800
Very clear the spleain thanks
Love the gerb vids, install vid for sure
Nice video.... Brother❤️❤️❤️❤️
