AWESOME! To the point. Direct. Quick. One of the better mechanic videos on youtube.

[@Aurum_AutoCare]

pinetarsoap that means the world to me to hear you say that! It took me a long time to edit and I’m glad to see that it worked out and helped you! Good luck with the repair 🙏🏼

Dude, you are hilarious to watch, keep makin videos man. I like the positive attitude, and the dry jokes. Cheers bro!

[@blackfalconn]

You're SOOOOOOOOOO much more positive than I am while working on this! I love it! Thanks for the great video!

[@Aurum_AutoCare]

Jake Foster thank you for this! Lol it’s not easy but it is well worth the repair my car still chugging a long

[@TheMoneyBed]

Sub'd...I work with a kid like you and he always makes me laugh. You're doing great things and stay hungry and humble. I am a seasoned tech and I like watching others do jobs I've done before to see if I can help or perhaps, be helped in the future. Growth happens when you let it, the only one that can stunt your growth is you. Keep doing your thing brother.

[@scotjohnson3208]

Thanks for the cool run down on how to replace a head gasket. I love the editing and quick points of reference. Great job!!! One thing I like to do when I remove the EGR valve is making sure all the ports are cleaned. These eras Honda's are prone to clogging. A simple thing to do for sure and will save you a big headache especially in California with our smog emissions.

[@Aurum_AutoCare]

Scot Johnson that is very true and thank you for the reminder 😁

[@SickridesNgoodvibes]

Nice video bro! Now I gotta build the courage to do this myself on my coupe 😂🤙

[@splash5974]

For not doing this before, i think you did an excellent job! Hope the car continued to do well after the repair

[@Aurum_AutoCare]

[@andrewredding3132]

Great video. Helped me a lot with my head gasket/timing belt job. I thought at the end you were going to say, "If you don't know how to change your oil, you probably shouldn't attempt this job." LMAO

[@brianbejado3237]

I'm from GUAM and KZbin should have more videos like this quick and straight to the point, Gives me more confidence in myself to do this job and not pay the ridiculous prices especially if shops do this kind of work daily....Keep up the good work will be on the look out for the next video maybe manual transmission swap???🙏👍

[@HondaHerb]

Just wanna say thank you for making this video and making us all feel like we can do this job just with confidence and patients. For one I am just a backyard mechanic and wanting to learn as much as possible about cars because it's my passion. Well recently my head gasket went out on my beloved 01 Honda civic ex and felt horrible the past 3 days how am I gonna fix it without going to a mechanic because I don't trust mechanic' s and this video gave me full confidence . I've already been needing to change my timing belt and water pump but that's the only part that scares me because if I lose my time on engine I could fuck it up, now I have worked around the timing belt as in fixing cam sensors but never touching the belt it's self. I might also make a video for everyone that is new to doing this also but if you have any tips on timing belt and water pump subject I would very appreciate! But in all respect thank you for building everyone up and making this video !

[@Aurum_AutoCare]

HondaHerb this means the world to me to to hear you say this 💚🙏🏼 this is why I made this video, is so people can take this information and apply it

[@erikcanales4940]

Great job!! I recommend putting copper spray on the head gasket, it help disperse the heat evenly.... over all GREAT JOB!!

[@Aurum_AutoCare]

[@bozzy7946]

I need to get on your level, I'm glad I watched this before buying head gasket sealer.

[@Aurum_AutoCare]

Jared Boswell the only head gasket bandaid I ever found that was worth half the trouble was mendtite at Oriellys. Tried it for a client because they didn’t want to spend the money to fix it and it actually worked as long as you follow the instructions exactly. But it’s 1000 times better to just fix the head gasket I’m thankful that you found value in my video 😁

[@bozzy7946]

I appreciate the tip! If I didn't have coolant on my dipstick I'd try it. Lol

[@Aurum_AutoCare]

Jared Boswell oh no! Lol

[@Aurum_AutoCare]

gusrojo88 thanks for the advice! Glad you liked it!

[@supersabrosinho]

thanks man I was wondering if that was necessary

[@BlastReadingSeries]

hey man, great video! just wondering, did your A/C work after you reconnected everything? i haven't cracked open an A/S system yet, but everyone says if you leave stuff open, the moisture in the environment ruins everything... would love to know!

[@Aurum_AutoCare]

BlastReadingSeries so what I did when I opened my system was stick paper towels in the ports. Moister probably went in but when I charged the system it ran fine. Still working till this day. If u do have concerns with moisture in your ac system you can go to your local shop and have them take it out and recharge the system for you.

[@BlastReadingSeries]

Thanks for the reply, man! Makes sense to me. Folks always overreact about stuff. Great video, looking forward to seeing more videos!

[@Nolimitmillionaires]

I made it to the end! U made it look really easy lol

[@Tom-io5os]

You can get a duck foot that snaps on a long extension, 1/2 inch to reach the tie rod bolts and remove them. Not too cheap...But, it's a needed tool.

[@GabrielMartinez-br1fj]

You can loosen the tensioner for the timing belt with an Allen wrench there is a little hex hole you will see when looking at it from underneath. Thank for the video learned a few new things.

[@Aurum_AutoCare]

Gabriel Martinez thank you for the advice 😁🙏🏼🤜🤛

[@kiel7165]

Great video but don't remove your AC lines from the compressor! Remove the belt and remove the bolts holding the compressor to the crack case. Just let it hang and you'll have enough room to work AND keep your AC working

[@Aurum_AutoCare]

Kiel whitney tha k you for the reminder 😁 I should of mentioned in the video that I was replacing my ac compressor

[@kiel7165]

You did well, I just saw you pull the lines off it and cringed haha

[@mexicobonito9336]

Good video bro, what name brand head gasket did you use,am in the middle of doing this jod on a 01 civic, is felpro a good head gasket?

[@jamesargo8049]

Fel-pro is hands down the best of the best. If going into a job like this make sure you do it right the first time and have quality parts so you dont have to go back and do it again. I've done head replacements before just never on a honda that's why I'm watching this video but to again to answer your question fel pro is the cream of the crop.

[@Aurum_AutoCare]

I agree with James here felpro is a really good brand for gasket stuff

You brought the head to the machine shop to get it cleaned? Or did you just clean urself? How much was machine cleaning shop?

Great job man! How long did this take you to do??

Josue Manriquez considering that I had to film and had other things going on about 2-3 weeks but I just did a little bit each day and some days I did more. As long as you put things in order and put all your bolts in their corrects spots you can easily do this!!! The hardest part is the harmonic balancer bolt

I’m really scared to ruin the motor, mine looks just like yours, deck is clean but those black rings on the cylinder rings are are super hard. I like you didn’t use sand paper or other aggressive methods. Can you please explain the process with then gasket remover, plastic scrape and brush? BIG THANKS!

[@Aurum_AutoCare]

I was very generous on the gasket remover I even let it sit over night. I used a bunch of plastic scrapers. If I were to do it again though. (Will be doing it to my sohc Subaru Legacy here shortly) I would take a 3m Rolex bristle. Idk how soon you need it but this is what all my shop friends use on aluminum and they love it! Just make sure to keep the speed of drill or grinder low and don’t keep it on one spot.

[@roycornelis2645]

Mod Cars Daily THANK YOU!! Just one curiosity. I got the head back from machining shop all good to install but I decided to do a valve lash adjustment before installing it. The cam pulley is almost imposible to turn by hand. I can use the bolt but I’m sure I will mess with the torque. I only rotated it before removal from the crank pulley to put it I TDC. I guess this is normal? I did t know the timing belt was under such tight pressure.

What symptoms did you have for blown head gasket

[@Aurum_AutoCare]

Jeff Sigmon mild symptoms are your car overheating. Kinda like a bad thermostat and your coolant overflow tank bubbling or when you try to bleed out air using a funnel it bubbles non stop. Very bad symptoms are when your coolant and oil mix and make a chocolate milkshake look into your oil

_Ketosucks honestly if you follow this video to the t as well as read the comments you can easily do this. All it takes is some time

[@TheCrisses]

All good but the crankshaft is marked to rotate counterclockwise on these models of Honda Civic. :/ So you would rotate counter-clockwise. (Counter-clockwise for 1.7L engines). It's clockwise on the 1.8Ls which are the newer models than this one. Then double-check all the markings.

[@juniormorales559]

I thought it was counter clockwise on this car for the timing? Am i wrong

[@Aurum_AutoCare]

Approximately how long did it take you?

[@Aurum_AutoCare]

TheBassking15 honestly I took my time with it and just enjoyed the process. By myself it was roughly 30-40

I been messing with my damn 2003 Honda civic LX, it jumped teeth on the timing and looks like I need to pull the head to check for bent valves but everything is already apart, valve cover, timing belt, PS pump belt and alternator.

Beats Bang ooo I pray that everything turns out in your favor! The head bolts will be hard to remove so use a 6 point socket

Quick question, is the harmonic balancer bolt reversed? I'm having hell with it...

[@Aurum_AutoCare]

Shannon Damron it is a regular thread. How Honda designed it, the bolt tightens the longer it’s on there. This is the hardest part of the job believe it or not lol it’s not fun but take a Honda harmonic bolt tool and use a couple breaker bars get an extension for the bolt put the extension part on a jack stand and turn it. It is a bitch but you could use a Milwaukee m18 fuel 1/2” impact gun that will definitely take that off no problem
