I just replaced the gaskets-Honda Odyssey 2006. You done a wonderful job with this video. In 20 minute I finish the job thanks to your clear and efficient working procedure. God bless you.

[@arthurrodgers153]

This is the first video I found that quickly shows how to do the job. And is also the only one I have seen that also shows that the valve assembly needs to be opened so you can also replace the seal inside too. Thank you so much!

[@Saint_possum]

The most useful video ever! No extra fluff, but every detail needed in detail!! Thank you!

[@christopherhaak9824]

I just replaced the gaskets on my 2007 Ody, no major issues. I had to pry my gaskets out and they broke into many pieces. I used the Dorman replacement set. I separated the top hose in the video above the part and flipped it out of the way, a little better access. I thoroughly cleaned out all of the valve parts with carb spray and let dry. It looks like I had extensive leaking from that area because it was all dirty and oily back there and I cleaned it off as best as I could. For the $12 for the gasket, worth it. Also did the oil filter housing gasket at the same time when changing the oil and did plugs. My van has 305K miles on it and runs awesome, I did mostly replace the suspension last year, so it rides great too. Hoping to run it to 400K. It drives and runs fantastic.

[@daniellesavaiinaea4759]

Thank you so much for the video. Followed along and switched it out with a new one and my car is running great again. So grateful for your simple and clear explanation. No fluff as others have stated. God bless!

[@Issetibbeha]

Outstanding video. Clear, no jabbering, nothing unnecessary. Well done.

[@jayMy45]

Great Video!!! NO FLUFF is always a great move. To me, All the introductory music, outtakes, and blooper reels can be left to the movies. Awesome video.

[@timmybob2028]

Thank you so much for posting this video! I was able to fix this leak by following your lead! Gaskets were $13 at the local auto parts store and a couple hours of my time.

[@alstines1]

Also applies to a Honda Pilot. Thank you, this is the best video I've seen on this topic! You put the right amount of detail.

[@vasiliyvasiliev1351]

This video is awesome I had the VSA light on for oil pressure and was having a hard time getting inspected, I went to advanced auto got the gasket kit for 20$ half and hour later rides great and no VSA light

[@Drizztt]

god damn..clear quality, straight to the point and amazing camera angles.. best video on KZbin lmao. 👍🏼

Thanks to this video, I will attempt to do this myself. I’m having an issue with VSA light. I will also change OPS (oil pressure sensor). Subscribed & Saved.

[@DB-lw9uc]

Thanks for the post just replaced solenoid. Didn't even know that bottom clip was on the black thing

[@GrimmReaper7873]

At 2:15, I was mind blown!!! I did not know there where two gaskets! Thank you!

[@andyhamilton8940]

My 07 pilot was pooling on top as the middle gasket failed. I could not get that gasket at the time so i glazed a little honda bond over the exsisting one and resealed it. Good video👍

[@bradleyturek]

Bless you, good sir! I removed the part from my Amazon cart just so I could add it back with your link.

[@bradleyturek]

I tried just the gaskets, but "no dice" so I replaced the whole assembly and it seems fixed! Make sure your bolts are clean when you reassemble! On my first go around, mine had some oil on them and just kept turning with my torque wrench until one broke off in the engine! A left-handed drill bit got it out, but it was not a good time. Thanks for the helpful video, Mr Ranger!

[@arielban1]

Hello Mr. R special thanks to your youtube channel. You saved me on 1:24... getting the rectangular piece off using a screwdriver. Your illustration was a big help. Many kudos to you.. if you are up for an adventure, come visit me in Philippines.. I will take you around....

[@roadcarver71]

My 2007 Odyssey, the VTEC solenoid leaked and it pretty much burned out my alternator last year. The other solenoid valve seal failed this week. I didn't know how to replace both, I had to bring to a mechanic. Now I have an idea to do so. My van is already at 274k kms. Thx for the tutorial. I used your tutorial late last year for the rear bearing replacement.

[@MrRangerZr1]

Make sure your valve cover gaskets aren't leaking. Video is on my channel.

Where on your channel? Couldn't find it. Can you post the link? Thanks!

Really great video !!! Thank you so much for this. Do you happen to know if there are 2 of these VVT Solenoids on the 2005 Honda Odyssey? I read on rock auto that there is a left bank and right bank? Thanks ahead. :)

[@MrRangerZr1]

No there is only this on the 2005-2007 vans

[@mbbjkb]

Great video! One question. Where did you get 16' pounds torque spec on the mounting bolts? Only other sources I have been able to find show between 8 and 9' pounds.

[@MrRangerZr1]

Shop manual

[@raymondf9265]

it is 9 ftlb. after my bolts broke, the dealer advised 9 ftlb not 16. wonder how many others broke their bolts because of this video

[@TheKenAgain]

@@raymondf9265 Just broke mine as well!! How'd you get yours out?

[@SlowpokeShred]

Thanks for the epic how to!

[@roadcarver71]

My 2007 Odyssey VTEC solenoid is leaking after an oil change. My mechanic replaced the seal last year and it has failed again. Maybe replacing the entire unit will be better. Thanks for this tutorial. I already replaced my valve cover gasket.

[@MrRangerZr1]

Improper install or aftermarket gasket used

[@roadcarver71]

@@MrRangerZr1 i was mistaken, this was not replaced before. Is there another VVT solenoid on the otherside of the engine close to the timing belt/alternator area?

[@petertirone7078]

I replaced mine a couple years ago and seems like it's time to do it again, tempted to add a schemear of hondabond but probably not a good idea. Still beats cost of replacing it and I'm wary of aftermarket options.

[@JungTaoLiu]

Hi, your videos on how to fix/service Odyssey saved me tons of $$$. Thank you very much for that. This time, I run into some serious problem changing the gasket, two of the 3 10 mm bolts securing the soleniod to the engine broke while I tried to tighten them to 16 ft-lb. It took me sometime to remove those two bolts (luckily, I was able to do that.) I am going to get the new bolts from the dealer but am worried about the same will happen again. Do you have any suggestion? Should I try to tighten them to lesser torque?

[@MrRangerZr1]

What is most likely happening is you're using the torque wrench with too much force and or using a big torque wrench, smaller torque wrenches don't make a loud click so you have to slowly turn until you feel the click. Tbh, just snug it up like I did, no need to tighten like mad, the new gasket will seal fine.

[@alstines1]

Also happened to me :) The first one I tightened broke, I was relying on my torque wrench and it never clicked. I managed to take the broken piece out and thought the issue was with the bolt. I ordered a new set of bolts. The first new bolt I tightened with the torque wrench broke (again :) I then realized that the issue was not the bolts (LoL)

[@denysdubuc5138]

How did you manage to get the two broken bolts out??

[@raymondf9265]

9 ftlb. mine broke too. I asked the dealer and they said it should be 9 ftlb and NOT 16 ftlb.

[@raymondf9265]

@@denysdubuc5138 I used a starter punch and small hammer and carefully hit the top of the broken bolt near the edges in a direction that unscrewed it. Eventually, I was able to twist complety out with my fingers but needed the starter punch to begin this process. My bolt pretty much broke even with the surface of the mounting area. I would imagine every break is unique and will require different strategies to remove. I am glad I didn't have to drill and mine came out nicely with no damage other than the bolt.

MrRangerZr1 🤔 sorry the specific question is how many seals have in vvt /vtec selenoid the odyssey has 2, but what about civic 8th

[@MrRangerZr1]

GERARDO LOPEZ one seal judging from the parts diagram

[@brandenshervington3817]

Thanks MrRangerZr1, great video... does this also apply to my 2014 Odyssey? Gonna be using your videos to do my fronty and rear soon.

It does have a solenoid in the rear and front, but not this type. Check out my front vtec gasket replacement video.

Hi MrRangerZr1 do you have a video on how to remove the Front Spool Valve Assembly? I'm getting a leak coming from the front spool valve, but can't for the life of me figure out how to remove the old one. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

[@acalabria1979]

What was the symptom that you needed to replace these gaskets? Leaking oil on the drivers side?

[@MrRangerZr1]

Yes oil leak

[@acalabria1979]

MrRangerZr1 I think I have something similar on that side. How could you tell it was the source?

[@MrRangerZr1]

Anthony Calabria clean the engine and then see where it’s leaking from

[@Penguin545]

The most tell tale sign of these valves leaking is oil on the bottom side of the heater core hose directly below this valve. It’s also pretty common to see the camshaft plug o-rings failing too as they are only a few inches below this valve. They will leak onto the block but this valve will leak onto the heater hose when it fails

[@justinyelverton]

If only it were that visible and seemingly convenient lol.

Still very accessible

[@africa.fs.0719]

Hello Mr ranger, first I'd like to thank you for your videos which are always a goldmine to me! Last year in March, I used your video to replace the VTEC solenoid Gaskets (2 gaskets) in our '08 Odyssey, the one in the front above the alternator, by the motor oil dipstick. It completely stopped the leak....till November, which is ok for me. I have just changed them again last week. I prefer to change the gaskets than buy a new solenoid because the solenoid works fine AND the gaskets cost only $12 for the pair....I'm ok with doing it every 7 months. My question please after seeing this new video above is....does the '08 van also have this VVT solenoid, and is it at the same location as the '06 van in this new video? Thanks.

[@MrRangerZr1]

No this video is only for 2005-2006 vans the other is only for 2008-2010 vans.
