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.

I am removing my motor using your video as guidance, but I have a manual transmission. I have the motor separated from the transmission, but it doesn't seem like there is room for the clutch assembly to clear the transmission housing. Do you know if I can get the motor out without pulling my manual transmission?

[@melandkeysmalls6432]

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!

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.

[@alltsab]

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.

[@alltsab]

Thanks for watching 👀 I returned the engine they charge for core.

[@dlzchaos588]

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.

[@alltsab]

Thanks buddy

[@doomedronin1148]

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.

Thanks!

Recall for defective block on the r18a1 they tend to crack at about 60k mile mark

[@MrMadaket78]

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.

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

@@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!

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.

[@alltsab]

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.

Did you leave the tranny CV axle in the whole time??

[@noecampos1359]

To much work i ll call to the yomk yard i buy the engine. But hard to do this job

[@esmecolin]

Can you take out engine and trans together while they are still bolted to each other

[@alltsab]

Yes

[@esmecolin]

@@alltsab through top or bottom

[@alltsab]

@@esmecolin either but top is easier

Dewalt

Wish my car wasn't so rusty under the hood, your bolts look lbrand new

[@alltsab]

Cali car is healthy of rusty

[@streetbikebilly2597]

You think there is enough room to remove the trans axle too? How much did you charge to do this job also. You are lucky with the no rust everything just comes right off

[@alltsab]

@@streetbikebilly2597 yes you can remove both at the same time is very easy too

[@streetbikebilly2597]

@@alltsab would you recommend removing both to do a clutch job as well figured I would do that while I'm in there

[@alltsab]

Yes if you have money for the clutch

[@Omarvro1]

With the automatic engine can you convert it into a manual? R18

[@alltsab]

Yes

[@alltsab]

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.

[@Omarvro1]

@@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]

@@Omarvro1 that is perfect No problem. The engine can go to either auto or manual no problem. Good luck buddy

[@alltsab]

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

[@matteo3893]

Can you do this the same way with a standard transmission?

[@alltsab]

Yes

[@nawidyusuf8254]

@@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?

[@gregoryjames6051]

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

[@H74ver]

@@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.

[@igone209]

How about for the 2006 hybrid?

[@alltsab]

Different

[@kaefiveee]

[@The81pete]

[@alltsab]

No it different won't direct fit like 06 to 2011 one. Maybe modify to fit on that year

[@The81pete]

You know what modification?

[@The81pete]

I found out the coil pack are different so far

[@lazertag720]

I had no idea my cars engine was that big

[@alltsab]

Very good size for a small car bro

[@messaoudtoumi6093]

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

[@alltsab]

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.
