The problem with hydraulic followers (lifters) is that they only have one inlet port. That means that it's basically impossible to get the old oil out and new oil into them without removing them. They will probably have the same oil that the car was first filled with when new.

Great video, thanks! I just replaced mine after hearing a louder idling noise, higher pitched then noticing that the original 16 year old hose had cracked from the neck that attaches to the throttle just like yours. Then I saw a huge crack on the right side of hose near the resonator. How tight should the bolt on the bracket to the throttle be tightened? Is it possible to over tighten and damage the hose? I also want to make sure it won't come off. I used a regular ratchet wrench. Also, my new hose (same brand you mentioned) seems stiff and not flexible like yours, it's not a genuine Honda hose. I bought it at a local auto parts store. How long did the one you have last? Thanks!

There's no difference to ride height. The bump stops only really engage when you have a load in the bed (i.e., hauling stuff, towing a trailer) and when you do it prevents the rear end from sagging too much. Hope that helps.

I don't know why everyone is cutting or hammering the valve cover bolt washer seals. I removed all mine just pulling them off with my hand. Installation used a little sil-glyde at a slight angle and they went in by hand didn't break a single one. I'd also recommend if you're spending a few hours doing this job, just use the OEM gasket kits, will run you around $70 USD for two. These third party gaskets don't last as long and I just removed one that was falling apart.

I just bought a transfer pump from walmart (hyper tough $11.00) and it has sharkbite fittings to hold the hoses to the pump--much better than harbor freight and also has the clear standard tough hose that will not collapse. The HF hoses are way to soft for suction and will collapse. The hose will go all the way to the bottom in my caravan. Your small hose is probably stopped up with sludge and also to small. you could try cutting out a 1/4 notch at the end so it won't get plugged with sludge. Same technique as racking wine.You could buy the clear hose at homedepot that will work.

Thanks for sharing. Sounds like great value for that Walmart purchase. No sludge build-up in my transmission and I did a full service prior so I’ve seen the bottom of the tranny pan, fluid, and magnet.

I finally replaced it through MAC tools with this Coast XPH 30 R 1200 LUMS. This Coast is much lighter but only time will tell .

Do you know how tight an auto tech secures an oil drain plug and the oil filter? Well the 1/4" Ryobi impact couldn't bust it. So lucky thing I have the Ryobi PBLIWO1 1,070 breakaway torque pounds. It took mere seconds to remove the oil plug and oil filter where the 1/4" impact failed after about 10 seconds. When I bought it I tested it immediately on our SUV's lugnuts and it broke every nut I tried it on. So we're looking at a lot of work ahead together as we tackle everything around the house and auto.
