It's people like you who will help keep this rare breed of high reving v6 engines running for years! Long Live the j series.

[@ytmaxxammo8591]

Exactly

[@traciburn6884]

I’m confused here. R u saying work on the cylinder that shows up next as u crank to the next one? Or r u suppose to work them in their firing order…1, 4, 2, 5, 3, 6?

[@bundysgarage]

You work them in their firing order. FIREWALL 1 2 3 4 5 6 RADIATOR firing order 1 4 2 5 3 6

[@traciburn6884]

@@bundysgarage That’s what I thought. Example: if I start off with 2 cylinder finish adjustments then crank to cylinder until it reads 5 then 3, 6, 1, 4. Correct? There is conflicting vids out there on this. I just had to make sure. Btw, thank you so much for replying back to me! Huge thank you 🙏

Dude knocked it out of the park. Super informative super instructive. You are a Rockstar man.

[@12vgs8606]

I have come up with this idea but unless I am forced to do it, I am not adjusting the valves yet.

GREAT VIDEO I DID MY 2006 ODYSSEY IT WAS REALLY EASY. THANK YOU.

[@bundysgarage]

Glad it helped you out!

[@sprydo7113]

By the way....adjusting V6 valves. What is the Firing Order. It is not Safe to GO straight forward or DO...like 1 thru 6 of the (#numbers - Cam sohc-Sprocket) like you have showed. Please feel free to comment, at your earliest convenience....i understand you are Super busy now. People...near the (Cam Seals), use Honda-Bond), seal Corners tend to seep Oil....just a little, not huge puddles though! Thank you SO very much!!

[@Itsme83.]

I have an 08 Honda Accord v6 and was quoted $230 to have this done. Does that sound about right? Thanks!

[@bundysgarage]

Yeah that sounds about right.

[@elmooko69]

Thanks for this video - you're going to save me a lot of money when I do this on my 99 Cl 3.0. I nearly tried doing the timing belt based on the great video you did, but I chickened out in the end... I've got to do a fuel filter next- any chance you can do a video on this? It seems straight forward but looks like it's in a Nasty spot in the engine compartment, & I could use all the help I can get! Thanks again man!

[@bundysgarage]

+elmooko69 thanks for watching. I'm glad I can save you some money. Don't be scared of the timing belt, it's really not that bad. Just take you time and make sure everything is in time. If you can, please subscribe, it really help me out.

[@grantnichols6777]

Hello. My 2008 Ody 205k miles makes a slight knocking sound before it warms up then it mostly goes away. It’s much more noticeable before it warms up when the weather is cold (30’s). Could this be due to valves needing adjustment? Thanks in advance.

[@bundysgarage]

Yes it could be. Have you checked your oil to make sure it’s at the proper level? A low oil condition will cause that noise as well.

[@TruongLe-eo8kh]

@@bundysgarage I installed quick twist oil drain plug that you can turn by hand when doing oil change about 2 oil changes ago that about 6 months ago. I have been hearing knock sounds on cold morning start only which lasted a few minutes. Do you think this drain plug does not give good seal to have enough pressure for oil to make it to top end? What do you recommend? Could this be the timing tensioner is going bad?

[@elvis7652]

I was actually using 2 for the intake and two for the exhaust just to make sure i was not over tightening them.

[@Olds_Gold]

The dealership wants $685 to do this to my 2009 Acura TL sh-awd. Just turned a hundred thousand miles. Already had the timing belt done at the dealership as well as the tensioner pulleys and drive belt. Does it really make a difference? I thought you didn't need to adjust hydraulic lifters? How is this different? Thank you for your time

[@bundysgarage]

Yes you need to adjust the valve lash. They should have done it when the timing belt was replaced?

[@dwaynearthur2804]

1 2 3 4 5 6 we got it!!

[@MYKEYSAUTOMOTIVE]

Great vid man!! Love your channel!! Never gets old

[@elvis7652]

Just a little tip i put tape on the intake feeler gauge after i grabbed the wrong one once:o)

[@gszalank]

Do you have a video showing all the steps prior to this?

[@mariodiy4517]

Thanks. I just did mine last weekend. My p0172 went away. Valve adjustments are very important for this engine. If you're having a performance problem and rulled out ignition, and fuel delivery issues; then check your valve clearance. Because this affects the air intake reading and can throw off your A/F rario.

[@rl848]

Great video, informative and to the point. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[@bundysgarage]

Glad it helped you out.

[@samimtokhy8775]

Got a 2007 Honda pilot with random misfire during cold start up. Engine stops misfire when warm. Took it to a few mechanics and they could not figure out problem. Im thinking valve adjustment? Plugs and coil packs are ok

[@bundysgarage]

What codes are you getting?

[@samimtokhy8775]

P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304, P0305, P0306, P0300. This mainly happens during cold morning starts. When I put the car into drive, or when I turn the engine off and restart misfire stops and car drives perfectly fine rest of the day

[@bundysgarage]

It sounds like one of your coil packs is going out, may be one or two.Get all the coil packs loose and easy access to them. When the car is cold start it up and start pulling the coil packs off the spark plugs one by one. As you do this you will hear the idle become more rough. If you don't hear this then the coil is not firing. I would check this before blaming an injector. As injectors usually don't come back to "life" after warming up. Let me know what you find out.

[@bundysgarage]

How do you know the coil packs are ok?

[@samimtokhy8775]

I replaced all 6 with new coils. Spark plugs are also ok as they were changed 3 months ago

[@brandonjones362]

strong video. great info thanks

[@derickmanning7839]

Love this video

[@thexflexclan]

I have a question after you finish to check the valves ? Did you just leave the crankshaft on the last cylinder you adjusted? Or gotta bring how it was before you start with the adjustments?

[@bundysgarage]

You can leave it on the last cylinder

[@thexflexclan]

BundysGarage hey i just got a set of feeler gauges and i saw on the ody 2001 its says intake 20 mm and exhaust 33 or 30 i forgot but can i used 0.009 on intake ? Or 0.008 and the exhaust 0.0.13 ?

[@thomaszarembski2118]

Honda Odyssey hoses

[@gordonbickel7182]

Use MAHLE. Valves cover spark plug seals. It a double seal design. Felt pro seal leaks on mine Honda pilot

[@bundysgarage]

Or stay with Honda OE gaskets

[@MillionaireValetcom]

This is great advice! Reviews on Amazon for Felt Pro states spark plug seals are leaking. Seems to be common with Felt Pro. I'll look at MAHLE. Thanks!

[@pvb9964]

crankshaft turned clockwise or counterclockwise?

[@bundysgarage]

Turn it clockwise

[@ytmaxxammo8591]

Goood content my man! Thoroughly enjoyed while thoroughly explained 👏 #J32UASquad

[@anthonysalas4014]

Nice video

[@DJricky266]

2006 honda pilot with random misfire and vtm4. What could be the cause

[@basedeal]

Do you need to take out the spark plugs for the valve adjustment?

[@Charkatak]

Do J37 engines require RTV on cylinder head cover?

[@erickimmy1493]

Will this help lifter noise? When she's cold it's a little tappy.

[@bundysgarage]

Yes sir, sure will!

[@erickimmy1493]

@@bundysgarage I am doing it, don't have the tools yet for them. But I hate the noise when it's cold. Fresh full synthetic helped

i have a first gen CL with the j30a1 engine in it are those able to have valve adjusts as well>..

[@12vgs8606]

1st one to watch and comment!! Good video!!!

[@bundysgarage]

Thank you so much! I'm putting together 3 logos for Bundys Garage and I'm going to have my fans decide, so keep your eyes peeled for an upcoming video of that and be sure to cast your vote.

[@darenleiter9490]

Great video, well done! Thanks for the info, it was easy to follow. I have a 2006 Vue with a J3.5 with random misfires/codes. I'll give this a go, makes since to me bro.

What brand gas are you using?

So is it 1 2 3 4 5 6?

If your asking about the firing order it’s 1 4 2 5 3 6

[@truejey7475]

Mr bunndy did you ever made of how to reseal a j seies oil pump

[@MarcoS-fb3qr]

How much would this cost?

[@smileyrod11]

how do adust on a 1990 honda accord let me know thanks

[@bgundogdu9422]

Thanks

[@cman12]

What was that on the oil filter

[@josevega7680]

He put magnets on the outside of the filter to catch any metal BEFORE it goes in the filter. The magnet can theoretically catch small metal pieces that might pass through the filter. He put a hose clamp around them because sometimes they fall off while driving. Some people say this is bunk but I also do this with all my vehicles because it does work and it definitely can't hurt!

[@bhadz100]

Im still confused with the drag feel. I usually check it by going one size up, if im not able to slide it in then thats how i gauge that i got it right. Is that a good approach?

[@johnjoseph7382]

yes, that's the correct way

[@josediego5259]

is it possible to end up with misfires if done wrong

[@bundysgarage]

+flash and zoom yes it is. What happened?

[@josediego5259]

BundysGarage tried the valve adjustment but now i get 3 misfires 1 2 3 and a random one

[@bundysgarage]

+flash and zoom make all your coils, coil plugs are installed properly. Does it sound bad?

[@josediego5259]

BundysGarage no it does not sound bad at all

[@josediego5259]

BundysGarage its sounds preaty normal but just get misfire for 1 2 and 3 the also random misfire
