Re: B18C Valve Adjustment Video -EricTheCarGuy

[@michaeltownley520]

I am seriously considering buying an Accord, just because these videos are SOO helpful, and I would hardly need to go to a mechanic often. Great job, Eric! Huge fan.

[@TrueBlueEG8]

Eric is a fucking legend, not only does he apologise for his mistakes, he comes back with even more great info, that pdf is gold. Nice work, and happy thanksgiving.

[@chengchild2]

You are so humble. Great person.

[@TheJeremydingeman]

Any man that makes a video to admit wrong doing is a man to be respected.

[@ericthecarguy]

All crank shafts are balanced. Check the PDF on the site for the specifics.

[@0xEm2]

HEY ERIC, IF YOU DONT MIND POSTING MORE VIDS ON CIVICS AND ACURAS, THAT WILL REALLY HELP ME ON MY PROJECTS, AM SURE A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL LOVE IT, THANXS FROM OHIO TO CALI, STAY UP ERIC AND ALL CAR ENTHUSIASTS!

[@BRENDAJASON1]

i like the dash console in this acura looks like the crx console..nice video eric

[@futten3230]

i support ya there dude ive seen a 4 door gsr in norway

[@TuRobertico]

Eric I can see that you love doing what you do, And love sharing your knowledge with people, Which tells me your a very good automotive technician, Thanks for taking the time to make these videos.

[@nobo631]

My favorite channel is Ericthecarguy. I am always excited for new videos. I have watched all of your videos too. Keep it up!

[@djrmonix]

Yep. Early NSX had 282mm discs, but were 28mm wide, not 23mm as in DC2-Type R and they used an aluminium twin-pot caliper too.

[@FromThe3PointLine]

thanks man!!

[@HeadBassVTEC]

in a need of a rebuild on my b18c4 (europe equivalent to b18c1) and discovered your videos....even though I am not going to do it myself and let the garage do it I still love watching your vids about how to do it....your videos are very accessible to all people and you're doing a great service for us out there...please keep it up, I have subscribed and looking forward to watching more of your stuff...also I am gonna sign up for the forums (I want that pdf lol)

[@MrJKCampione]

Thanks Eric, we appreciate you too. Happy Thanksgiving.

[@punkenduro]

eric, your so rad. now i have to finally rebuild my civic, buying parts sometime this weekend.

[@edgardoamado7008]

Sweet book

[@CJ8084]

My friend moved here form japan and he told me his mom had an eg hatch, right hand drive, lavender oem paint, a b16a3, auto trans, and had eg si interior and it was like a dx or ex model.

[@wmcartpusher04]

I posted this question at the ETCG forum, and he replied, stating that the valvetrain is simply worn out. I sent back a queston asking if the 2.2 is prone to oil starvation, which I suspect is what causes it.

[@JG54206]

if im not mistaken, the B18C1 is swapped out for a B18C5 and a different trans with shorter gearing, 5 lug bold pattern, better brakes, seats, i believe a shorter shift throw, steering wheel, all the red emblems, alloy Type R wheels, also the VTEC engagement point on the 2 engines is different, the GS-R hits VTEC at 4400-4500rpms, the Type R is like 5800rpms, no sunroof on the Type R, was only sold in 2 colors in North America, Pheonix/Sunlight Yellow, and Championship White

[@TrueBlueEG8]

There are 4 door teg type r, but other then that you are spot on, but think the rev limit could be slightly higher too.

[@Haybbo]

Awesome video Eric, I just adjusted my valves on my 2000 honda crv, it has a B20Z engine in it and i heard B series engine is notorious about valve adjustments, my valves sound like a sewing machine now and i put it to the factory's lowest spec but in return on doing so i have been getting improved gas mileage overall and it is doing awesome! Also I heard the looser it is on the valve train the better it is especially high performance cars. Correct me if I'm wrong. Keep up the great work.

[@frankfhumbert]

theres a person in orange county new york who has a supercharged prelude, super clean too, loves his/her car

[@jaguwerforme]

You should make a video about asking the customer the right questions or their leaving out critical information when asked. I just had a customer today that said the car just shut down on the road for "no reason" I found later the tow truck driver had put the full size spare on because the owner blew the tire after sliding sideways into a curb around probably 20 mph. That was the moment when the fuel pump dislodged inside a near empty tank and the car stopped for "no reason"

[@sx2000]

Awesome... !

[@HK0HunterKiller]

Thank you for this good and informative video, Eric.

[@MatthewTaylor3]

I like this video. I wonder what the specs are for adjusting the clearances on the D-series 2001-2005 engines.

[@mixedboi]

Thank you Eric you are awesome

[@reebok3d]

i have a 96 S10... you gunna do any vids on the truck in the background?? if so, cant wait!!

[@JdmGoneWild]

where is the video of you working on the Type r ??????

[@djrmonix]

Yeah sorry 1997. I have the larger brakes fitted to mine and they just clear the 4 stud wheels with a 3mm spacer. Great vids btw. Very informative. Have you an Integra clutch install video. That's my next job,

[@BRENDAJASON1]

your right on the turbo getting a good take off but kinda pulls back on top end it don't really need it on top end cause the honda motors are high compression engines and are great on top end only

[@nicknewyen]

the front brake calipers of the Integra Type R shares the same part numbers as the front brake calipers of a Honda Accord, Odyssey and amongst many other Honda cars. The rear brake calipers of the Type R are the same size as an RSX rear calipers for clarification.

[@Nanakuri]

I think... you should teach auto tech at a community college or university or something. I personally think you'd be pretty good at it.

[@tallsandcastle]

We had a 93 Corolla, (5spd, 1.6 4AFE) in the family since new. It had the DOHC with the shims over the valves. The manual recommended valve adjustments at 30K miles. My family NEVER had those valves adjusted. Never had the head off, never had the valve stem seals replaced, nor rings. Near the end of its life, at 18 years old and 360K miles, and burning a quart of oil every 1K miles, it finally burned an exhaust valve. We junked it. I think we did OK without adjusting the valves...

[@mattjones3725]

The one thing adjusting the valves in my 96 GS-R did do was allow it to pass smog. Before the adjustment, it wouldn't pass. Don't remember what exactly was measuring off but it was pretty bad. Didn't notice any performance improvement after the adjustment, other than the big smile on my face.

[@dangdatstony]

@TrueBlueEG8 they only made 4 door type r in japan. and gsr redline was 8100ish vs the 8500ish on the type r.

[@zmelli]

The brakes for the Type-R were off the Accord Wagon, Accord V6 and early NSX.

[@hobieslug45]

not eric . eric is honest it's the dealerships i'm talking about

[@StealthNinjaX2]

Hey Eric, how come valves are so loud when its super cold, like in the winter? But when its warm it doesn't really make noise.

[@nicoxis]

Nissan SR20VE engine is an example of shim adjusted solid valvetrain, and yeah, a big PITA.

[@r3g3d17]

Not sure what you mean at 2:40 where you say lifters/cams must be replaced as a set, and the cam spins the lifter. On all the lifters I've worked on (though not many) the lifter was in the rocker arm pushing on the valve. I don't know how the cam would "spin" it.

[@ericthecarguy]

The K series engine has a solid valve train that is adjustable.

[@ericthecarguy]

None of the older ones did.

[@wmcartpusher04]

Eric, what about 4-cyl S-10's? Specifically, the ones from the 90's with the 2.2 liter 4. I've heard many of those trucks with their valvetrains clicking and clacking BADLY, but they run fine. This engine should, as you mentioned, have hydraulic lifters, so why so much noise? Just severe wear?

[@ericthecarguy]

That's a different cam altogether. Besides, how many roller cams to you see in production cars? Not many

[@Nobody7720]

JDM B18C Type R smokes USDM

[@ericthecarguy]

It got sold and moved to NJ.

[@bunning63]

There were some 4dr Type R's in Japan, we see a few over in New Zealand, they were/are pretty rear.

[@ЧеркасовДмитрий-е3э]

Thumbs up for GSR! hello from Russia.

[@jdmDC2ftw]

You need to start making more "JDM" vids!

[@isabellapowell5318]

Gsr engines are still very powerful 4 cylinders, a type r is basically a gsr with some extra toys and a tune, I wouldn't mind a type r though lol

[@ericthecarguy]

At least here in the states they always had 5 lug and the first one appeared in 97 (I was there when they rolled off the truck). The reason is the upgraded brakes which require larger hub assemblies.

[@djrmonix]

If you are talking about Integra type R, some had 4 lug, some had 5 lug.

[@oscarmmolina1]

Erick the car guy y u no make a video on a nissan z32? =/ love ur videos man very educational but i own a z and would love to see one of ur videos on it

[@attpureownpk]

today i bought a 2006 acura tsx with the 2.4 liter V-tec engine and automatic transmission. was wondering what kind of lifters it had? or how should i check if there are different variations? it has a (cold) valve adjustment with the mm sizes on it.

[@thizguy94]

Biggest and easiest way to tell a type r from any other integra. The vin should start out with: JH4DC231 Red stitching interior No sun/moon roof b18c5 engine Typer R logo on rear quarter panel will be paint under the clear coat. NOT A STICKER Red lines at i beleive 8200rpm (correct me if im wrong please) Always 2 door 5 speed This is coming from a huge integra fan :) if im wrong id like to know too so let me hear it haha

[@HericotsVerts]

do the K-series Honda engines need valve adjustments? I have a 2003 Acura RSX Type S and it has some valve clatter... 88,000 miles or so on the clock.

[@kevincho1409]

Eric, if you could let me know, how intensive is the head gasket job? I own a 1991 honda accord, and wondering if i should have a go at it... i did a clutch swap so i have some experience, but if it does not require any lifting of the engine/engine mounts, i want to try it out. let me know! PS how much the gasket would cost as well..

[@llib90630]

what do you think of the ducati motorcycle desmo valve system?

[@kirbstone111]

Great vid! love your work.

[@ericthecarguy]

I don't have a GSR

[@WilkinsChunilall]

I wish you lived closer to my area I would definatley bring my Prelude to you

[@ericthecarguy]

Nope, all had 5 lug. The 4 lug are not real Type R's.

[@brakedd]

It was my understanding that you need only replace lifters and a cam TOGETHER if they are flat tappet. You can use old roller lifters and an old roller cam no problem.

[@djrmonix]

Well depends on where in the world the car came from. The very 1st Honda Integra JDM Type R's out in Japan late 1995, and 1996 had 4 lug (that's what I have). Then when they launched worldwide in 1998 the USDM Acura Integra Type R, 1998 UKDM Honda Integra Type R, and the 1998 spec JDM Honda Integra Type R all had 5 lug as did Australia, and most of Europe I think. So was only the 1996 spec JDM Honda Integra R had 4 stud,

[@MMORPG87]

i have a b18c (jdm) that was burning oil bad.. opened it up to find that the bearings was pretty nasty and that the crank eas hitting the oils squirters. is there anyway to identify what crank is in my b18c. i have read that ppl have beeb swapping in LS cranks. wanna know forsure befor i put it back together. the block pistons rods are all stamped p72. also are the rod bearings supposed to be solid.. like as in no holes or channels in it.. ive nvr seen this b4. even my d15b7 had atleast a hole in the bearing im curious how oil even gets to the bearing..anyhelp would b great

[@armoricain]

We'll try to keep that in mind, mang!

[@eliotjoe9889]

i have a rough idle with my 05 tc, particuly when the ac is on and only when idling. when in drive it is completely fine. uncle has the same issue with his toyota. any solid idea what this could be?

[@TheTrock311]

Just wannna say love the video I'm in ccollege now for mechanics love it

[@noflrs]

Can you do a video on how you can open a trunk that is jammed it wont open with the lever or with the key

[@nickthao886]

dear eric the car guy, make a video about turbos like how they work, what they do, are they good for you car if you was to drive it just a daily car, is it faster..... please respond back, your a really good car manchanic

[@JG54206]

hey Eric, i have a 95 LS with a JDM B18C, a non Type R, so its 178bhp stock, can you upload some videos on a GS-R, im trying to learn how to do more stuff myself, i can do basic stuff but it'd be nice to know how to do more indepth stuff, soon i would like to go to an Auto school, or atleast learn mechanics somehow, but if you can point me in the direction of any helpful vids for a GS-R owner itll be much appreciated. also, it burns a little oil at high rpm, synthetic help with that or no?

[@jjlwis]

oh wow, did not know that. maybe the early model's had 4, than the later years had 5?

[@moszysixtynine]

Eric do you know where I can get mt hands on a repair manual for my 1984 Chrysler Laser?

[@swift718842]

2001 was the last year of the type R

[@manitas1818]

Hey eric i got a Q: for u what is your opino on building a frankinstain a Ls B18(non vtech) block with a B16-18 head (Vtec) i been seen it but always wonder

[@hmglor]

I thought they continued making the ITR in the RSX body which was the K series? Am i right or wrong?

[@rotor13]

Whats easier for you? Either tell you to listen more closely because he actually mentions it in the video, or would you like a timestamp? You don't need to be such a smartass about my response. If you don't like it you can simply ignore it.

[@fisqual]

I didn't see the original video, but I'm chuckling to myself about all the die hard Honda fans that must have made a huge stink about it.

[@VTECenthusiast]

Do D motors need adjustment? My mechanic says it's hydraulic. Is he right?

[@Crana]

which is the video with the supercharger?

[@zmelli]

Solid lifters, adjusted at 100K but only if making sound.

[@hobieslug45]

he said " A LOT OF HONDAS NOT ALL HONDAS RUN SOLID VALVE TRAINS" so I asked a simple question if anyone knows of a honda engine with hydrological lifters. If you don't have an answer to this question don't bother me with your " learn to listen more closely" bullshit. I didn't run a fleet of buses by not learning to listen more closely

[@djrmonix]

With all due respect I have a 1996 JDM Integra Type R and it is 4 stud

[@ourfutureisdark]

one question please can anyone tell me the difference between Mechanical Engineering and Automotive Engineering or are they both the same?

[@FromThe3PointLine]

Honda F22B2 engine needs valve job, hot or cold??

[@zmelli]

If your valves are tight you can burn a valve since it will not seat with the head and remove heat.

[@sneaky1369]

I'd like to know the answer to that myself. My 96 Hombre was noisy as hell but ran great.

[@hobieslug45]

yes please tell me where he mentions which hondas have hydrlic lifters . or just tell me what year and model and engine. so far I only got one constructive reply but vague.

[@LoCoM4]

Eric I have a serious question! How can a vtec motor just not hit vtec anymore. . My 99 spec b18c (jdm, not usdm) just all of a sudden stop hitting vtec. . I was using a thick oil while track racing and didn't replace it with 5w30 synthetic. . Is there anyway you can help me please

[@Tamatoy]

link to video with supercharged b18c?

[@eltiburon17ify]

Hey erick, thanks for your videos realy help alot, i have a question here: I have a 95 honda civic with idler problems, i replace the IACV) & i took the throttle body clean it realy good, i ajust the Fast idler valve too & idler problem still.. What can i do? Thanks

[@dog2525]

vtec just kicked in yo!

[@Euphorica]

bmw's higher revving m engines require valve adjustments too. Typically high rpm engines come with that "solid" valvetrain because you need that at high rpm... 4 cylinder, 6 or 8 , whatever.

[@Mellosaxsexy]

Hey could you do some videos on rust and removing rust? Thanks!

[@astral1202]

mechanical engineering is the main branch, whereas automotive engineering would be a discipline of mechanical engineering. ME is all about principles of physics and thermodynamics - automotive engineering uses those principles and applies them to automobiles

[@calk87]

why did you sell the GSR? do you still have that red or blue integra?

[@ericthecarguy]

The NSX had different brakes.

[@WorkHorse.Fabrication]

the type r b18c is a completely different engine

[@rotor13]

No, you just assumed. I refused to tell you because the information is easy enough to find on your own
