[@Iloveyhwh_1974]

I think it’s annoying how clean your engine is. Good video.

[@lovethehuntOutdoors]

I'm certain he spent a great deal of time getting that clean. Yeah mine looks nothing like that I'm ashamed to say. But it has 235,000 miles on it

[@truckingvic8966]

Good detail to detail video no talking nothing just show how it’s done ✅ great job

[@jerelo9241]

Thanks! It definitely worked and saved me a lot of money. No more leaks👍

[@ridethelightning9]

It's been 5 years now, I know, but did the bond work fine, like no engine light or leak after that? Seems like hinda doesn't sell the gaskets and people complain about the Amazon ones that claim to be honda

[@ras4782]

Just did mine the other night I'm happy I looked around to make sure it wasn't something else. I'm good on putting gasket sealer on that part though.. I have my old part with extra gaskets and I'm going to get a junkyard alternator to keep in the car for. Road trips just incase this happens again on the road. Even though all the parts are new now .I kept all my old parts for that reason lol I refuse to leave my family abd me on the side of the road

[@MrRangerZr1]

This fixes the issue if done right, but after this video was published the gaskets came out, that's why I have a updated video.

[@rafatorres1420rt]

You should make a video showing how to keep the engine bay like that 😀

[@brucem6442]

Ngl that was the first thing that came to mind. All my engine bays look like shit. This engine bay looks better than my 74' stingrays granted my small block chevy power plant looks much better but I feel ashamed. 🤦‍♂️

[@rodm5830]

Man I love watching a video where I don’t have to listen to a bunch of mindless jibber jabber. Great job.

[@MrEltinieblas]

Thanks for your response. I will give it a try. My alternator got ruined because of all the motor oil leaking onto it

[@MrRangerZr1]

Tell me about it. The leak covered my alternator, catalytic converter, etc all covered with oil.

[@jerelo9241]

Same problem here, I'm lucky the alternator was under warranty

[@brownte999]

Thanks, MrRangerZr1 - I believe my leak is the same problem. My alternator still works, but covered with oil. Can you use degreaser or something to clean it?

[@MrRangerZr1]

I wouldn't spray or drench the alternator in water. I would spray some brake cleaner on a towel and wipe it clean.

[@HasanCakirNet]

@@MrRangerZr1 Thanks for the procedure, right now I am having the same problem and I read stories about people who changed the gasket, cleaned the surfaces, tightened the bolts with specified torque and it still leaks. Is there any secret while doing it so that it does not leak? Also for those of you who have oil spilled on alternator, NEVER spray brake cleaner or carburetor cleaner on alternator. Just like MrRangerZr1 stated, take a towel and spray the brake cleaner on the towel, then wipe the alternator as much as possible, other solutions require replacing it or taking the alternator to a rebuilder.

[@jasonsierra6809]

Best Odyssey videos available!! So much help. Hood latch cable just popped and meed to do an lil change. Any suggestions on how to open the hood? Ive tried from under ans can't see/reach the trigger to unlock it.

Right

[@alcerz984]

All u gotta do is go to a car wash leave the engine running set to degreaser mode let sit for 2 minutes then rinse with pressure nozzle. lastly dont turn off engine until water has evaporated. Done.

[@diedericho]

Watch the updated video! There is another gasket under the shiny plate!

[@charltonconnor3328]

Thought i might have to remove the valve cover. Big help 😀👍

[@giordantoledo8052]

Damn that engine is clean

[@Jetrojack04]

Is there a gasket under that metal plate? Does that need replacement and the Honda Bond too?

[@Phyoomz]

My only complaint is that @ 6:15, you didn't give it a little tug and say "now that's not goin anywhere." Otherwise, 10/10.

[@anon58973]

Your videos have been so helpful. Just bought a backup 2010 can and - of course! - you have a video for replacing this gasket which is bleeding like crazy on my engine. Thanks for all your efforts! FYI you walked me through replacing an alternator today on the 2010.

[@danib6541]

Did the leak cause alternator issues? Just bought 2010 a few months ago and check charging system light comes on periodically, but almost always when first starts. Then turns off about 10-15 minsters later. Before turning on the car, the battery is testing at 12.6 V after starting it gradually goes down until the check charging system light turns off then immediately jumps up to 14 V. When the check charging system light turns off the car hesitates for just a split second like it wants to die and then everything rubs back up. Trying to figure out what’s going on, advanced auto and AutoZone tested battery and alternator and both said it was fine. Today however I noticed some leaking around the dipstick area but looks like it’s coming from slightly above, so I’m thinking it’s this valve leaking thing. I had read somewhere online that it leaking could lead to alternator issues, I don’t know anything about cars and I’m just trying to learn and was wondering if you had the same issue?

[@anon58973]

Yes. It fried the alternator.

[@fobber]

Thank you for such a great video. I also must say wow what a squeaky clean engine bay. Is there any trick to getting the connector off of the EGR valve? I’m pulling but it’s not coming off. Just asking before I try hitting it with my purse 😅😂

[@MrRangerZr1]

it can be a pain, just wiggle the sh1t out of it lol Never pull on the wires, grab and pull on the connector itself.

[@laviebanale]

I have this problem. Should I buy the OEM spool valve or an aftermarket?

[@MrRangerZr1]

OEM

[@thepentecompanypentelegals1619]

Before I tear into mine, I bought the replacement part direct from Honda. It came as a complete unit not just the top half as depicted in the video. However, there was no gasket of any kind. Should there be a replacement gasket for the lower section where it meets the engine? I would have thought Honda would have provided one if there was, or suggested it when ordering/buying. Anyone who can help would be appreciated. Thanks

[@MrRangerZr1]

That portion is installed with hondabond. You just need to remove the gaskets from the assembly and put it on your car.

[@devellwilson7099]

Thxs Zr1 you saved me some money.

[@boliu8149]

nice work, thank you, I will do this tomorrow.

[@TheCgraham18]

I’m happy to see how many people have had success with this. But unfortunately I’m very upset because I cannot get this. I have a 2011 Honda Odyssey EXL that needs the front spool valve gasket replaced due to significant leak. I cannot follow these directions verbatim because on the right side of where the injectors are at about the one minute mark in this video, there is a thick plastic ridged line that comes off and attaches to a fuse box and the battery. I have no idea how to begin to disconnect it. It’s not a connector. It floors me nobody else has run in to this. Does anyone have any idea what I’m talking about?......I literally cannot move the piece out of the way so I can’t move on through the process

[@MrRangerZr1]

Work around the harness, you don't have to remove the wiring harness completely out of the way. Makes it easier but not necessary.

[@TheCgraham18]

@@MrRangerZr1 thank you for your reply

[@Enigmaafk]

Thanks for the video did it hold up with the silicone apply .

[@MrRangerZr1]

Yes and updated video in description

[@EdTravelingEast]

Worked on my 2010 odyssey. Thanks!

[@mikeceli]

Did you install a new rubber gasket? If so, why did you add a sealant?

[@MrRangerZr1]

check my updated video. with new gaskets you don't need any sealant

[@Coco-qz7fn]

now that's a clean engine.

[@michaelrunge1922]

Disconnect the battery. Unclip the 2 electrical connectors. Remove the 3 bolts (not that middle one). Pivot the valve out from under the wire harness. No need to remove anything other than the 2 electical connectors and 3 bolts.

[@AlexHernandez-ox8ir]

Hi long did u have to wait for the Honda bond to sit for before tighting it down all the way

[@MrRangerZr1]

Tighten it down, then wait. Overnight is best.

[@AlexHernandez-ox8ir]

@@MrRangerZr1 thanks again for your response and you kick ass on your work my friend how tight would u tighten up enough but where u don't force it or would u use a torque wrench I am working on a 2011 Honda pilot same engine as the Odyssey just want to make sure it's at a right tightening on the bolts thanks again

[@SachinGuptaPlus]

I have an engine oil leakage from passenger side on my odyssey 2010 EXL. I checked it is not coming from oil filter gasket. I suspect my front solenoid gasket is leaking but i am not sure. How can I verify that front solenoid is the real culprit before fixing it? And how could I verify that which solenoid gasket (under and above metal plate or both) are bad and need to be fixed and replaced? Any suggestions to identify bad/leaking gasket.

[@MrRangerZr1]

Thoroughly degrease/clean the whole engine bay. After you clean it, you'll be able to tell easily where the leak is coming from.

[@SachinGuptaPlus]

MrRangerZr1 thanks. How can I clean engine area around belt (right front wheel side), there is not much space for cleaning.

[@MrRangerZr1]

I have videos of cleaning the engine bay on my channel. Just cover the alternator and spray degreaser, let the degreaser eat through the grime and wash it off with water.

[@SachinGuptaPlus]

So as I doubted, After cleaning area near dipstick, I found oil near dipstick and front solenoid. Not sure if it’s dipstick leak or solenoid leak. if you can suggest. Here is the video clip kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4jbdX9soaiVia8

[@MrRangerZr1]

Yep that's the solenoid gaskets, it will look like it's leaking from the dipstick. Check out the new updated video of the solenoid gaskets. It's linked in the description.

[@edwinaragon8469]

Did you buy OEM spool valve. I saw you made 2 videos on this and not sure if you bought an aftermarket and it didn't work and leaked?

[@MrRangerZr1]

Check the updated video. And i recommend getting the oem valve

What year was this specific Odyssey you were working on?

[@MrRangerZr1]

2010

[@MrEltinieblas]

Hi. I am in need of replacing that very same gasket but Honda will only sell the hole part . Did you purchase that gasket sealer from Honda or your local store like Autozone? Thanks

[@MrRangerZr1]

The sealer is from Honda. I don't think Autozone has it, they have a similar gasket called Permatex but Hondabond is best.

[@jsiguenzaa23]

Check Amazon or eBay they cost 14 for the set

[@nynex9219]

how do you know the solenoid oil leak is from the top gasket not the bottom one?

[@MrRangerZr1]

You really can't tell, that's why you replace both gaskets like in the updated video.

[@bboygreenarrow]

I did exactly what you did. I only used gasket seal on that one same gasket you did in the video... still leaks used seal on the other gasket underneath the plate too. And I still got leaks.... is it just because I got a bad new gasket? Help

[@MrRangerZr1]

There are two gaskets, check the updated video.

[@tsmasters88]

Great video! Helped me out a lot. I followed all the directions step by step. Brake cleaner. And let the sealant dry for a 24 hours. The leak has noticeably slowed down. Would you recommend doing the same sealant to the bottom gasket?

[@MrRangerZr1]

Check updated video in description

[@lambertj.2892]

I want to replace the entire spool valve, not the gasket. Is this the proper way to get to it and remove it?

[@MrRangerZr1]

To replace the entire assembly you need to remove the valve cover and rocker arm assembly. No need to replace unless the hondabond is leaking, which is very rare.

[@syednabi5473]

Can a solenoid gasket leak cause alternator to die? My alternator died (with less than 20,000) miles and mechanic thinks it is the solenoid leak that caused it to die

[@MrRangerZr1]

Yes it can, common.

[@ying4070]

I just did this for my 2009 accord V6 , but the oil still seep through when I start the engine. The gasket maker i use is genuine Toyota fluid seal packing. Do I need to do it again?

[@MrRangerZr1]

The reason why that happens is when you reinstall the assembly, oil seeps down and ruins the gasket. First clean the inside of the assembly with brake cleaner, make sure no oil is present, and then apply the gasket. It happened to me.

[@ying4070]

MrRangerZr1，it worked and no more oil leak. thank you very much!

[@MrRangerZr1]

Glad it worked out!

[@thurm101]

I have a 2009 Honda Accord EXL V6 and it’s leaking in the front. I am thinking it’s a valve cover gasket. But more than likely it may be this. But on my car the part doesn’t look like the same as video

[@MrRangerZr1]

Could be valve cover gaskets or the cover itself.

[@funambulesque]

had this done on my 2008 odyssey and then check engine light came on. mechanic said it was a transmission issue that caused the light, so i ran it to transmission shop who fixed that cheaply. On the ride we noticed the van's now not running on all cylinders. wondering if you've any experience with this chain of events?

[@MrRangerZr1]

Both your mechanic and transmission shops dont know what they are doing. What problem did you go in with to begin with?

[@funambulesque]

@@MrRangerZr1 had an oil leak near the dipstick. they changed the "variable valve timing solenoid" and "valve cover gasket". Now it's misfiring and the engine light is on. The transmission light was on too, but had a transmission place remedy that. They unplugged and reseated two connectors. So currently the check eng light is on and it's misfiring. First mechanic is having a look at it again this Friday. I've gone to him for 15 years. Usually it's great work. Saw your video and am I right to think the valve gasket is on wrong in some way?

[@MrRangerZr1]

No idea what they did. They most likely didn't put an OEM solenoid on.

[@dennishuntington3473]

Do you know if they sell replacement gaskets for that solenoid? Or do they not a d that's why you put honda bond on it?

[@MrRangerZr1]

Check the update video in description

[@joshuaschuettenhelm2596]

Is this the same thing as an oil spool valve? Mine is leaking directly over the alternator. If it's this easy, I'll fix it myself.

[@MrRangerZr1]

Yep this is it

[@josel6077]

Is it recommended or necessary to put Hondabond on the top gasket? Your updated version and some thread don't recommend putting Hondabond.

[@MrRangerZr1]

No need to but doesn't hurt...

[@josel6077]

Thank you.

[@jayquinty]

@@MrRangerZr1 Hey really appreciate your videos. I recently changed my rear spool assembly with an aftermarket from Amazon on my 07 odyssey. Leaked. Ordered another, leaked worse. Thinking of getting the Honda sealant and applying it on the new assembly that's leaking. I may have overtightened this last one, so not sure if that would make it leak worse. Just wondering what's your take on this.? Will applying the HD sealant cure my problem? Could overtightening make it leak? I'm running out of options and don't want to have to buy $700 oem 😬

[@MrRangerZr1]

@@jayquinty Did you watch my video on the 05-07? There are 3 gaskets.

[@jayquinty]

@@MrRangerZr1 Yes I watched it. I installed a brand new aftermarket spool valve (twice) and the included gasket for the surface between valve and the head. So not sure about any additional gaskets. I bought the Honda HD today so I'm going to take it off and put a thin layer of HD on the new gasket and reinstall. Hopefully that solves it. Could just be cheap Chinese parts. Crazy.

[@MrRangerZr1]

Sure thing.

[@lebronjordan802]

MrRangerZr1 thanks, my Honda Pilot 2010 rear spool valve assembly needs to be replaced but I can't find those bolts holding the assembly. Do I need to remove the valves cover in order to gain access? Thanks again...

[@MrRangerZr1]

I'm not 100% on the rear solenoid...it should be the same as the front. Get a mirror and look around. Worst case, you might have to remove the rocker arm assembly to replace the spool valve. I'll take a look at my van and will let you know.

[@lebronjordan802]

MrRangerZr1 thanks 🙂!

[@mckoylach1622]

What is the function of the Vtec solenoid ?

[@MrRangerZr1]

Controls VTEC engagement. At 4200, 5500, whatever RPM VTEC kicks in in your car, the solenoid activates vtec, giving you more power.

[@sandy33198]

Hi there mr rangerZr1, is there a video showing the removal on the parts that this attaches to ?
