MY day on replacing a VVT Actuator Honda Accord √ Fix it Angel

[@janegoodall1837]

This is the most realistic car repair I've ever seen. I don't know how all these other youtubers are able to always super easily get off all the bolts and screws they need. Every single time I need to remove a bolt they are almost always stuck.

[@MaryReed-iy7fq]

And then you finish and find a left over bolt. 😢

[@pablojr.h.lamsis8003]

I really appreciate how you multitask working on cars and doing the cooking, fetching your kids from school, and despite the hardship of slackening a tough camshaft bolt, you managed to do everything and above all that I really like putting the Lord's name first in everything that you do! You are worth emulating!

The most amazing thing about Angel’s videos is how he does everything with one hand.

Your sense of humour deserves its own separate thumbs up.

[@JohneeJohnson]

Wow. Your attention to detail to your work as well as your camera /editing /video skills while you work is astounding! Thank you for sharing your expertise in such a concise manner.

[@libertyforall5117]

I've watched many videos about replacing the actuator because I want to replace mine on my 09 accord, I must say this is the best I've seen no talking and you've shown all your errors and successes..thanks

[@richardmorse5307]

That was a brutal job to undertake with picking up the kids, cooking lunch, buying a new valve cover gasket and spark plug seals. Then continuing with the task to the finish. I thought this was a particularly difficult repair to do in your driveway! It’s one that’s beyond my skill level. I was quite tense watching the difficult sections. Well done!!

[@sarkisseywaz2127]

angel is good mechanic , he is specific and explains and shows the parts affected very clearly for novice people to understand. good job

[@RingZero]

The man with patience and willingness to achieve his goals, keep it up! Your videos are an inspiration to most of us.👍🏼

I probably watched 10 videos on this fix, but yours is the only one that shows how hard it is to get that bolt out of the cam, all the other videos skip over it. Thank you... I wish you were my neighbor

Angel, love your videos brother. Love how you Thank The Lord Jesus Christ for being here. Especially since working on cars is dangerous. May the Lord Jesus, Keep you and protect you.

The patience you have in incredible. I get so frustrated working on my project and i can never leave in the middle of doing something.

[@tannerthuringer6272]

Hey man. A tip to make it a LOT easier next time, the instructions state to hold the cam with a wrench and loosen the bolt before you remove the cam from the motor. Then the cam caps will hold it all nice and tight for you and you can just bust it loose fairly easily. Worked beautifully for me. Thought I would let you know and save you a backache next time! Awesome video too!

[@armandogutierrez7248]

Hey angel you look better cooking than fixing cars good job men

[@FixItAngel]

Armando Gutierrez thank brother. I appreciate the comment. Stay tuned for another channel in the works. Have a nice day.

[@davinperedo1017]

What sets you apart from the other KZbin mechanics par, is that your videos teach without you saying a SINGLE word about what you’re doing while you’re doing it👌🏾. Once I hear other mechanics yelling at the camera about what to do, how to do it, etc... I flip the channel😂. Keep up the good work and stay blessed 🙏🏽👊🏽

I had the feeling he's a Pinoy after several attempts on how he will figure out to unscrew that actuator bolt. Filipinos are resourceful and relentless and it makes me proud that I was born & raised in PI.

On my 2009 Accord, a helpful service advisor/dealership and Honda Canada many years ago did both this is the oil burning problem where the pistons and piston rings had to be replaced. My engine was basically taken apart twice omg. I didn't know the VTC actuator grinding noise took this much effort. Good job, you are really thorough.

[@paulyd9926]

Angel I’m so glad your back

[@rlinane]

Hey Angel, I see you are following the manufacturers approach. Have you seen some approaches where the cam is not removed from the engine? It looks like you can take off both the actuator and the second cam's gear and that gear is keyed. That approach seems easier than taking it out of the car and working on the floor, as you have the leverage of the engine holding the cam in place (no wobble) as you loosen the nut, but trade off is that you might not align the gears perfectly to the chain. Although you may be able to keep that position with the tie wraps. What are your thoughts on that approach? It seems innovative, but do you think it may cause harm to leave the cam in the engine and loosening the actuators bolt that way? Great video!

I love so much about this video. The fact that you include all of the things that go wrong makes it so real. That's how working on cars is. The addition of the cooking show was quite entertaining and you seem like a great parent. I too love sardines but never had that brand. I expected to learn how to fix my car but you delivered that and so much more. Well done!

[@iwillbefreesoon]

Welcome back ✌🏼😘

[@miguelquazar883]

Because I like to share with people, here is a tip for removing/installing the spark plug seals. When removing the spark plug seals, use a bent-end pry bar, and romove from the inside instead. Place a balled up rag, piece of rubber or wood etc to the side of the hole where the shaft of the bar will potentially make contact to protect the surface. You could wrap the shaft with rubber tape also, etc. Seat the blade/end of the bar on the inside edge of the seal (find the lip or sweet spot. Do not pry up on the thin part that moves easily.There is a solid ring inside of the seal that the rubber is molded around. Prying up on the thing flap part will just make it tear.) and then apply a little bit of inward pressure on the inside edge of the seal and then downward pressure at the same time while trying your best to stabilize it. Don't go full force, try a little to see if the end slips. (Suprisingly it doesnt slip easy). Those b*tches will come right out with ease. And as long as you protect the surfaces in case of an ergonomic accident, you'll have those seals out in less than a minute, with no problems. When setting the new seals you Can use a socket or a piece of PVC pipe and a cut out, flat circle piece to lay over the seal that is just barelty smaller than the size of the hole. Tap it in patiently and evenly. As long as ypur arent tearing up or damaging the precisely machined that seals come in contact, anything goes. To each their own. The bent-end pry bar makes quiick work of those seals. No fuss 👍🏻

[@ronaldwaddell3135]

Great video Angel! Here's a tip for removing the spark plug seals, use a small pry bar and pry the spark plug seals off instead of punching it out with a punch. Way easier to remove with a small pry bar and your fingers don't cramp up, haha. Then when it comes to installing the spark plug seals, I''ll start by pushing them down with my thumb and then drive them home with a socket big enough to fit the outside of the seals. Hope this helps if you ever encounter them seals again in the future.
