Honda Fit Valve Clearance Adjustment

[@brianhaygood183]

Do not remove any of the trim along the windshield. Do not unbolt the throttle from the intake. Battery removal is optional, but slightly helpful. Thanks for the video! It helped me get mine done.

[@adambeck369]

How to do get the intake manifold off without taking the air box out? I tried to find a way but I ended up having to take the intake and throttle off to get the intake manifold off. I don’t see how having the battery off helps anything

[@castelmichel8670]

Thanks man for making that vid, I wanted to do that on my fit but there was no video anywhere to learn from. You did a superb job covering every little details that one might overlook, and also showed your mistakes so others can avoid them. Thanks again. Thanks again

[@Full_throttle_YamR6]

For the new people watching this video , DO NOT REMOVE the plastic near the windshield , do not take apart the throttle body and do not remove the battery, just disconnect the hose and disconnect the positive wire . I did it without removing all the mentioned parts. Oh yeah and and with paper napkins or blue tape cover the holes where you can see the valves , believe me you don’t want anything going inside down there

[@rogergale3297]

Think your correct there. Looks easier than the older model where plugs are at back...easier to remove cowl then. But no need on this one. Also apart from the pain intake manifold removal I'm not sure you have to remove throttle body. Did on the older model though. Good info.

Thanks for posting. Going to try to tackle this next day we get some nice weather here.

[@eggw0ll]

Thank you for this. I’ve been trying to find videos on the GK5 because my valve adjustment is long overdue.

[@paarngboy]

Great video. Should help me alot.

[@wardje53]

I wonder if Honda is still up to date with their power of dreams. Valve adjustment has been a thing of the past for most engines for about 20 years due to the use of hydraulic valve tappets, except with their prices, which are certainly up to date.

[@iamasmurf1122]

Good question here in Australia they don’t put these engines into these cars .. they put in VVT engines .. they look the same but are not … this video caught me out actually thinking I needed to do these adjustments … the VVT are all hydraulic same year model car it’s just different engines they put in these

[@DannythaSaint]

Thanks I needed this for a vtc spring replacement. @honda needs to buck up and pay for that problem

[@g33s0n6656]

Do you have a video that you liked most for this? I just ordered the spring kit today. There isnt much on this generation out there.

[@g33s0n6656]

Based on this video it looks like the cam will need to come out unlike some other Hondas where the gear can come off?

[@DannythaSaint]

@@g33s0n6656I just recorded a video today. If you give me a day or 2 I will load it. I was going to ask permission to use this and cut my VTC replacement in. I learned a lot and it’s a fairly simple job with patience.

[@DannythaSaint]

@@g33s0n6656I have a 2018 Honda Fit 3rd gen and there hardly any content on it. This video was amazing but I didn’t remove a lot of parts

[@DannythaSaint]

@@g33s0n6656no removal. Just plate but carefully. Plugs out and rotated engine forward to get bolts out of VTC cover. It will show in video.

[@DannythaSaint]

@VincentStevenson Can I use parts of your video to cut in the VTC spring replacement please? Thanks in advance.

[@vomnightspark6289]

So thats the reason my 180k driven Honda Vezel sounds loud ? Can you share sound video after adjustmnt

[@hoonetic]

I just picked up a 2018 Honda Fit that has around 140K. Should I adjust the valves or look for an indication that I need to do it?

[@davidvarley8171]

Modern cars are a pain to work on, the amount of parts you have to remove to get to the part you need to replace , crazy ,

[@ahamedeesafaiz4182]

You didn't start the vehicle, I like to hear the sound after adjustments

[@Unlikelyjellyfish]

Hey thanks for the video

[@frederickcwinterburn1837]

I'm curious how many miles were on the car when you did the valve adjustment? Thank-you

[@VincentStevenson]

People recommend doing this every 60k miles but I would defer to any honda official documentation

[@frederickcwinterburn1837]

@@VincentStevenson Thank-you, but I'm still curious how many miles were on your car when you did the lash adjustment? Our 2016 FIT is running well and sounds the same as when it was new and is nearing the 60 k mile mark. I've been using Castrol synthetic 1 quart of 5W-30 and the rest the recommended 0W-20 and changing it every 5000 miles (approximately).

[@BjCmeadows]

I know this is an old video but I hope you see this...I'm curious where you found the valve tappet/rocker clearance specs, as you can't really find repair manuals (print Or even digital) for this car

[@salmansyed407]

Great video ! I have 2014 Honda vezel with the same engine I believe which is LEB, and it is giving terrible mileage, replaced spark plugs etc, changed the valve clearance and it even got worse, casue i dont have the recommended valve clearance. Can you please confirm if 0.006-0.008 for intake & 0.010-0.012 is the recommended valve clearance for LEB engine you have by Honda ?

[@branduncensored]

still waiting for clearance

[@heinzehrt4909]

My Ex-Japan 2015 GP5 Fit has the LEB15 Engine. Did you manage to get the clearances?

[@salmansyed407]

I adjusted as adviced in the video, Used the same clearance values he showed in the video, the car is running better than before, now I am not sure if these are the recommended clearance values. @@heinzehrt4909

[@Broken_robot1986]

On my 2015 Fit I used .006-.007 on the intake and did the "Go-No Go" fitting so I made the .006 fit but too small for the .007 to fit. I legit do not know how you would find the clearances from Honda, maybe go ask at the dealership?

[@TAmattdamon]

I have a 2019 fit slowly making ticking sounds over the years getting worse and its only during winter time it does it 40 degres or colder, once the car warms up the ticking sound goes away and it's fine, during the summer time it doesn't make the sound at all,only 55k miles on it.

[@FINSuojeluskunta]

When I bought my Fit new in 2018 it ticked like crazy in the winter. They said it's just injector tick.

[@NathanBreezyy]

Where is the cam shaft position sensor??

[@丁-v6p]

Great video! Btw why you need a valve adjustment?

[@VincentStevenson]

Overtime the clearance changes as things wear down or get loose, so it’s a routine maintenance thing.

[@brianhaygood183]

Most modern engines use hydraulic valve lifters that automatically adjust. Honda is one of the few that still uses manual adjusters. No idea why, other than it makes for a cheaper engine and more service dollars. Pretty annoying.

[@Broken_robot1986]

​@@brianhaygood183I like that they keep less parts in the engine and it's fun to take care of. I don't think the extra complications are always worth it.

[@FlaviusYNP-gl1ik]
