[@kevinarmstrong864]

Well done videos i have a recommendation don't oil the gasket before installation and clean the block surface with something i use carb or brake clean and emerycloth the surface should be as clean as possible the only gasket i even put oil on the oil filter gasket. If you still have a leak after that check the egr plate on the back of the engine below that valve it also leaks and is not easy to repair and lastly the power steering hose es have o rings that leak also at the connection connection to the pump.i have done many of these and that why im letting you know you may have 2 more leaks in the not so soon future i let my clients know so when they don't come back complaining the leak ijust fixed is still leaking or the You fixed the wrong thing ! This applies to the 1.8 l engine only hope this is helpful toyour viewers

Kevin, thanks so much, this is great information, you are right on, my O'ring on my PS hoses are leaking and I'm getting ready to make that video probably within a couple of weeks.

[@alejandromorazan3420]

Just did this job yesterday and i want to thank you for your amazing and well detailed video. This was my experience. Removing the cowl cover and the panel under is easy, ive done it over 10 times. Youll definitely need a few flashlights to see what you need to move or remove. Definitely remove the PCV hose and loosen the injector bracket thing, they are in the way and give you more room to work. Removing the Solenoid was really easy, no need to pry it with anything just push and wiggle. Just dont lose or drop the bolts , if you are prone to losing bolts just order extra ones. Also make sure you have different sized ratchets, my main one did not fit so i had to use another one that kind of curves a bit. Now here is the BIGGIE, Removing the old old gasket is really really really hard, PLEASE buy a pick set and a strong knife, but dont do what i did, i picked at it with a flathead screw driver and a bunch of other tools and the gasket was breaking little by little but i damaged the solenoid edges by doing so, the gasket wasnt even close to coming out, i took it inside my apartment and tried different things and nothing, what did it though was these large scissors i had that were strong and had a pointy edge and i managed to pick at the same spot until it finally came up , the gasket was like solid cement After applying the new gasket i used HONDA BOND to fill in the alumimum parts that i broke off the solenoid and it worked. No leaks.

I have two gaskets on my solenoid that I replaced. Purchased it from Autozone and it came with 3 gaskets. The second (smaller) gasket I replaced by unbolting 3 bolts was very brittle and had a crack in it. It’s called Dorman Engine Variable Timing Solnd Gasket 917-173. I also replaced the camshaft oil seal cap and EGR valve gasket while I was in there. All the parts cost about 30 bucks. 👍🏾

So just for kicks, I’ll tell you what happened to my 2007 Honda Element SC. I started hearing some steering noise, so I added power steering fluid and looked around a little inside there. I didn’t see anything going wrong, so I went through a period of months of adding power steering fluid. (I know I’m an idiot. My oldest son was too busy to check it out). The bottom line: the fluid was for Hondas, but it was also a stop leak. Apparently it ruined my entire power steering rack. I took the car to a new mechanic who ended up having to fix or replace lots of things due to the spewing of the power steering fluid all over the place. $2500 later, and my car is in great shape again, and I am no longer waiting for my son to do my car work. As an aside, the mechanic happens to be the father of my youngest son‘s fiancé. Small world!

[@dannysdiygarage]

Great story, thank you for sharing

[@PlumbCarton5607]

I've gotten to the part where you removed the 3 10mm bolts to take the thing off. The problem I'm facing is that no matter what force i can put on the bolts, they won't budge. I'm on the line of stripping 2 10mm sockets. Yes im pulling making sure im moving lefty loosey, the same direction you're doing. Update, it's off: If you still can't get them off what i did is get a swivel adapter (3/8ths→3/8ths) and a fresh 10mm. Then make your ratchet longer by either grafting something to it or just a longer ratchet. Used my screwdriver taped up to my ratchet, even then i should had to put alot of force i thought my screwdriver was gonna snap.

Great video it's very clear thank you for showing us how to do it yourself 👍

[@GgRae-gv1tg]

While doing this project, you should take the time to check and replace the PCV VALVE. When it fails, excess pressure in the crank case will cause leaks. This seal is particularly susceptible to pressure leaks.

[@dannysdiygarage]

Great suggestion, I do have a PCV video on my channel

[@GgRae-gv1tg]

@dannysdiygarage I think I have seen it. You have great content, I follow your how-to videos. I am keeping my wife's 2004 Honda SI Ep3 and my son's 2004 Accord running. I think it was your video that prompted me to replace the PCV VALVE on both. Big improvement. The Accord has 179,000 miles and was using oil and not running right. The Ep3 has 120,000, and replacing it improved overall performance, MPG sound. Thank you again for the great content. 👍

Thank you. Your video is very clear about how to replace the filter. I have the Civic manual from Honda and not much mention of this part. What does it actually do? When might the valve itself need to be replaced? How can the valve be tested? Thanks again.

It's a variable valve timing control solenoid, the name pretty much explains what it does, changes the timing for optimum performance

Hi Danny. Im actually getting ready to repplace my PCV valve. Watching this video now too, because i seem to have the same oil leak issue from this area that you mentioned in that video. Now having seen you do this, I'm wondering if you would recommend removing the metal plate at the base of the engine bay like you did in this video in order to do the PCV valve. Thanks!

If you're going to replace this o ring, the valve cover gasket, and the two passenger side engine mounts in the same job, does it give you better access if you pull the valve cover off the head or remove the dogbone prior to removing the spool valve?

Another great video Danny. A couple questions, should we use carb or brake cleaner to clean out the solenoid? Also, for the new gasket, how about using a light coat of silicone paste? Not silicone caulk, I mean the silicone lube that is good for rubber and caliper slide pins for example..

Brake cleaner works fine, lube it with motor oil also the gasket, that seems to work good, also change your motor oil

@@dannysdiygarage ok thank you. Oh also, you mentioned this is typically the cause of an oil leak on the passenger side. I'm having a lot of oil come down the transmission. It's oil and not red transmission fluid even though it's dripping off the transmission. Any ideas where that may be coming from? It is quite a bit, if I wipe it off at night the next morning it's already dripping again even after leaving the car sit for a couple weeks.
