Have you done a valve adjustment on a 2016 Honda civic 1.5 turbo yet. I need to do mine but there’s not very many videos on that out there

[@zacdaddy-j3w]

I have a 2020 civic with 160k. What does a valve adjustment entail? And was wondering if you think I’d need to get mine done as well? And lmk if you ended up finding any better videos on it since this post🙏🏼

Looks simple. How long was the actual time?

@@YOUCANICdoes crv 17 1.5 engine same torque specs? thanks

[@gaigehyden6731]

whats the reason for adding the permatex only at metal to metal transitions instead of adding to the whole perimeter?

[@YOUCANIC]

Permatex is typically added only at metal-to-metal transitions to ensure a tight seal without interfering with the coupling of the components. This method prevents potential leaks and maintains the joint’s integrity. However, applying the whole parameter may not have the desired effect and could even lead to issues. For more specific queries, consider visiting our website (www.youcanic.com), where you can find a wealth of resources to support your automotive journey or ask car-related questions. Our Full System Scanner tool (www.youcanic.com/scanner) can also be of use. We're here to be your reliable source for all things automotive.

[@Hipsters11]

Is there a need to change the entire valve cover when there is a leak ? Or you can just replace the gasket ?

[@YOUCANIC]

Whether or not to replace the entire valve cover or just the gasket when a leak occurs really depends on the specific issue at hand. Sometimes, a gasket replacement may suffice, while other times a full valve cover replacement is necessary. A thorough diagnosis using tools like our YOUCANIC Full System Scanner can help clear this uncertainty. Our platform offers extensive resources to help guide car owners through these sorts of predicaments. If you need further assistance, don't hesitate to ask on our platform. We are here to support you, learn more at www.youcanic.com and www.youcanic.com/scanner.

Did you forget the permatex on the right side?

[@ixiwixi]

He did a cut, you can see it appear at 10:45

[@patm95]

Is this a common problem with the 1. 5 L engine?

[@matthewlang777]

I have a 2016 civic, the starter went out and so far I'm finding that possibly this gasket is leaking out the back(as mentioned in the start), I'm changing the starter soon I'm going to look for evidence of oil leaking on it. I also just changed the oil and it was about a quarter low. I thought maybe it was burning it but this makes me think these problems are linked.

[@patm95]

@@matthewlang777 I bet you’re right. I’m looking at new civics and are torn between getting a touring 1.5T and sport 2.0L. Leaning towards 2.0L

[@dlozza2000]

@@patm95just get the 2.0 if you want more reliability lol

[@SentinelEx]

@@matthewlang777Did you figure out where the leak was coming from? I noticed an oil burning smell coming from my 2019 EX-T. Looked towards the back of the engine bay and noticed oil getting around my alternator and other areas. 🤦‍♂️ Hoping it’s just the valve cover gasket.

[@matthewlang777]

@SentinelEx didn't look for the leak but there was definitely a little oil on the starter, now I gotta replace throttle body and clean injectors so I might see if there's anything in the back of the engine
