Fantastic video! Was able to do it all myself, changed both gaskets, and it fixed the issue! The tensioner bolt at 2:54 was a pain to get to. Had to use a smaller ratchet and thinner socket since my impact socket and pro flex ratchet wouldn't fit in the space.Thanks, fellas!

Nice work! With those forearms, I’d guess it’s a breeze for you to issue a tightly-controlled, ribbon of oil, with one-hand into the car, from a 72 quart jug, while with the other hand is thumb-wrestling Chuck Norris for a month (without food or air ). -“hee hee, yeah, and but like in the rain at the same time too also, cuz it’s raining on them two also (and the massive forearms as well…”)

a tip @8:27 if you take oil out be sure to put it back in, meaning you oil the seal and add it back into the part, just a little. Thanks for sharing, my 05 Accord EX with 280k is doing exactly what you describe.

Exelent video! You covered everything with great deatal, great camera work and easy to understand. I did have a problem that viewers should be aware of. I have a 2006 Accord 2.4 and their is a heat shield with two wire clamps connected to it. I makes it more difficult to remove. Beware and don't break a wire like I did trying to get them off. It was real fun soldering wires between the engine and firewall! Thank goodness it's not a v6.

You have to be careful with that brake cleaner, it takes off paint , really harsh stuff. I use carb cleaner, dries quick & cleans good, especially oil debris & residue. This was just for people who haven't had much experience with brake cleaner. Had a mechanic spray on brake cleaner to clean valve covers , stripped off paint.

Iv replaced the valve twice and done two oil changes in 100 miles and after the motor warms up it still goes into limp mode with this code. Any ideas? Mines a 2005 with 213K miles. Just bought it and drove it a few hundred miles before the issue surfaced.
@VeryGoodGarage3 жыл бұрын
It's possible that the oil pump you have isn't pumping oil well enough anymore and that's why you have the code. We didn't have a full on limp mode though, so that's totally a guess, and your problem could be unrelated to what we had.

Brake cleaner is basically just alcohol/acetone. It's strong, so I wouldn't just spray things like plastic directly, but if it gets around a bit from spraying it's probably fine imo
