SO WE HAVE A VICTOR REINZ VALVE COVER GASKET SET IT COME SWITH EVERYTHING YOU NEED
IT COMES WITH THE 2 GASKETS COMES WITH THE SPARK PLUG TUBE SEALS ALSO COMES WITH THE
GROUMENTS FOR THE BOLTS SO LETS SEE REAL QUICK BUT ONE THING YOU WANT TO DO BEFORE YOU
GET STARTED AT ONCE YOU GET THIS KIT PUT THE OIL TUBE SEALS IN T HE FREEZER THESE HAVE
BEEN
THERE FOR ABOUT 12 HOURS OR SO YOU WANT TO SHRINK THESE DOWN A LITTLE BIT CAUSE
THE OIL TUBE SEALS ARE THE HARDEST PART OF THE WHOLE JOB SO LET ME SHOW YOU HOW TO GET
STARTED SO WE’RE GOING TO BE DOING THE VALVE COVER GASKETS ON A HONDA ACCORD V6
IT’S THE J SERIES ENGINE IS WHAT’S INSIDE T HIS VEHICLE IT’S VERY VERY POPULAR IT’S
ALSO IN THE
RIDGELINE HONDA PILOT ACURA TL CL HONDA MDX HONDA ACCORD THIS IS FOR THE V6 ENGINE
SO LET’S GET STARTED, FIRST THING YOU’LL WANNA DO IS GET ALL THESE COVERS OFF I’M
GOING TO
SHOW YOU A QUICK AND EASY WAY TO GET THE PLENIUM OFF WGERE YOU DON’T HAVE TO TAKE THE
THROTTLE BODY AND THE COOLANT LINES AND ALL THIS OTHER RIGGER MARAU THAT A LOT OF GUYS
TAKE OFF FOR SOME REASON I DON’T KNOW WHY THEY DO THAT YOU DON’T HAVE TO WHY WOULD
YOU WANT TO TAKE THESE THROTTLE CONTROL CABLES OFF IF YOU DON’T HAVE TOO OR THE
COOLANT LINES THAT SIT UNDERNEATH OR THE SNORKEL OR ANY OF THIS STUFF SO LET ME SHOW
THAT TO YOU
(MUSIC)
I’M WORRIED ABOUT CLEARACE ON THID ENGINE SO BUT I WANTED TO SHOW YOU GUYS A WAY THAT
YOU CAN SNEAK THE VALVE COVERS OUT UM I’LL PUT A LINK IN THE DESCRIPTION BELOW
WHERE I ACTUALLY DO THAT BUT IF YOU WANT TO YOU DON’T NEED TO MOVE ANY OF THIS STUFF
OFF ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS TAKE THESE 12MM BOLTS OUT UM TAKE THIS VACUUM LINE OUT
THERE’S ONE OVER HERE UM THIS VACUUM LINE AND THIS CONNECTOR OVER HERE
YOU TAKE ALL THAT STUFF OFF AND THEN YOU JUST LIFT THE PLENIUM UP AND THEN SNEAK
A PIECE OF THIN WOOD BETWEEN THESE ARE 2 STUDS ACTAULLY TAKE A PIECE OF WOOD AND
YOU PUT IT ON TOP OF THE STUDS AND BETWEEN THE BOTTOM OF THE PLENIUM AND THAT GIVES
YOU ROOM TO GET TO THE VALVE COVERS TO SNEAK THE VALVE COVERS OUT SO THERE’S NO NEED
TO
TAKE ANY OF THIS STUFF OFF THE THROTTLE BODY OR ANY OF THIS OTHER STUFF IT’S A WAY TO
SNEAK
IT OUT LIKE I SAID I’LL PUT A LINK IN THE DESCRIPTION BELOW WHERE I ACTUALLY DO THAT
BUT
I’M ACTUALLY GOING TO TAKE THE PLENIUM OFF UM JUST WOEEIED ABOUT NOT HAVING ENOUGH
ROOM TO GET THE PLENIUM OFF THERE’S A BOLT RIGHT HERE AND THERE’S ONE DOWN THERE
OH LET ME SEE WHERE’S THE OTHER BOLT THE OTHER ONE IS RIGHT HERE
AND THEN ON THE BACK SIDE YOU HAVE AH BOLT THERE AND THEN IN THE CORNER ON THE BOTTOM
YOU HAVE A BOLT THERE THOSE ARE 4 12MM BOLTS ACTUALLY THESE ARE NUTS 2 NUTS ON TOP
2 BOTLS ON THE BOTTOM ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS TAKE THOSE LOOSE TO BE ABLE TO GET THE
PLENIUM OFF AFTER YOU REMOVE ALL THESE 12 BOLTS AND ALL THE STUFF SURROUNDING THE
PLENIUM
12MM BOLT HERE ONE OVER HERE SO BASICALLY I’M REMOVING I’M GETTING THE THROTTLE
BODY BROKEN LOOSE FROM THE PLENIUM AND I’LL GO DOWN HERE WITH A 12MM DEEP ON A 3/8THS
RATCHET
SO THERES ONE OF THE BOLTS THIS IN ON THE LOWER PART OF THE THROTTLE BODY 12MM
AND THEN THERE’S ONE ON THE OTHER SIDE TAKE THE 2 NUTS THE 2 BOLTS OUT AND THEN WE
WILL JUST SEPARATE THE THROTTLE THE THROTTLE BODY FROM THE PLENIUM
NO NEED TO TAKE ALL THAT OTHER JUNK OFF LIKE I’VE SEEN SO MANY OTHER GUYS DO
JUST WASTING TIME WASTING TIME GUESS THEY HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO THEN TO WASTE
TIME YOU HAVE 12MM BOLTS HERE DISCONNECT THE SENSOR GET THAT OUT OF THE WAY
GET THE VACUUM LINE TO THE BRAKE BOOSTER 2 10MM BOLTS HOLDS THAT ON JUST
BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU DO THIS THERE IS A MATAL GASKET BACK THERE SO THIS IS YOUR
VACUUM LINE TO THE BRAKE BOOSTER YOU HAVE A STEEL GASKET BACK THERE JUST MAKE SURE
YOU PUT THAT BACK WHEN EVERYTHING’S GOING BACK TOGETHER
THE REASON I’M CHANING THE VALVE COVER GASKET AH IS JUST BEEN SPELLING SPELLING SMELLING
OIL BURNING IN THE VEHICLE ON THIS HONDA ACCORD JUST DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD YOU
COULD SMELL BURING OIL POPPING THE HOOD UP SNIFFING AROUND A LITTLE BIT YOU COULD SMELL
OIL BURNING ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE AND AH THERE’S NOT TOO MUCH STUFF THERE’S NOT
TOO
MANY OTHER THINGS THAT IT COULD BE BESIDES AH THE HONDA VALVE COVER GASKERS
THIS HONDA ACCORD HAS 252,000 MILES ON IT SO TAKE ALL YOUR BOLTS AND NUTS HERE
THERE’S ALSO A LINE AT THE BOTTOM THAT GOES TO THE PCV VALVE WE STILL NEED TO TAKE CARE
OF
THAT SO DON’T GET TOO AGGRESSIVE WHEN YOU PULL THIS PLENIUM OFF SO WITH YOUR LEFT HAND
OVER HERE GO ALL THE WAY OVER HERE AND LIFT THIS UP
TAKE IT OUT OF YOUR THROTTOLE BODY
THERE’S A VACUUM LINE HERE TOO JUST PULLING DOWN ON THAT YOUR INTAKE IS OFF FREE AND
CLEAR IT’S A GOOD IDEA TO PUT A TOWEL RIGHT HERE BECAUSE RIGHT DOWN HERE YOU CAN SEE THE
VALVES THESE INTAKE RUNNERS GO RIGHT INTO THE CYLINDERS TOP OF THE INTAKE VALVES ARE
RIGHT THERE SO TOP OF THE VALVE COVER YOU CAN SEE OIL IS POOLING UP THERE
AND THERE’S PROBABLY OIL COMING DOWN ON THE SIDE OF THE VALVE COVER WHERE THE MAIN
GASKET IS SO GASKETS FOR THE BOLTS AS WELL THE SPARK PLUG SPARK PLUG TUBE SEALS
YOU DON’T NEED TO TAKE THE SPARK PLUGS OUT BUT YOU DO NEED TO TAKE THE COILS
THE COIL PACKS OFF AND OUT SO LET’S DO THAT THERE’S 2 10MM BOLTS HERE SAME ON THE
BACKSIDE 6MM HERE I KNOW THE NEWER ONES USE A 10MM BOLT OR JUST A NUT
THESE ARE 10MM SO LE’TS DO THAT GET THAT OUT OF THE WAY SOMETIMES THE BEST PLACE
TO KEEP BOLTS IS BACK IN WHERE THEY ORGINALLY CAME FROM SO I’M JUST GOING TO STICK
THESE 2 10MM BACK INTO THE TOP OF THE VALVE COVER I’M GOING TO GET A 6MM HEX GET
THOSE COIL PACKS OUT SO JUSY BREAK THESE FREE AND CLEAR ONCE YOU GET THEM LOOSE YOU
CAN PRETTY MUCH WALK THEM OUT BY HAND IT’S THE BACK ONES THAT ARE A LITTLE BIT HARDER
JUST BECAUSE OF CLEARANCE ISSUES WITH THE FIREWALL ALSO ANOTHER GOOD THING TO KNOW IS
IF AH THIS LITTLE BOOT THIS RUBBER BOOT THAT GOES DOWN INTO THE SPARK PLUG SPARK
PLUG SITS INSIDE THERE JUST MAKE SURE THAT THIS PIECE HAS COME UP WITH THE COIL PACK
CAUSE IF IT HASN’T THEN AH YOU RUN INTO THE RISK OF NOT BEING ABLE TO GET YOUR SPARK
PLUG OUT WHEN YOU NEED TO CHANGE IT NEXT TIME I’LL PUT A LINK IN THE DESCRIPTION
BELOW OF A VIDEO THAT BRIAN THAT BRIANS MOBILE DOES REGARDING THIS VERY PROBLEM
SO YOU HAVE 5 10MM BOLTS THAT HOLD THE ACCORD VALVE COVER GASKET ON ALL OF THESE ARE
THE SAME LENGTH EXCEPT FOR THIS VERY TOP ONE SAME ON THE BACKSIDE AS WELL SO THAT’S
SOMETHING YOU NEED TO REMEMBER IT’S A LOT SHORTER ON THE BACKSIDE THESE BOLTS GASKETS
ARE LEAKING THERE ROCK HARD SO SEE RIGHT THERE THAT’S THE GROUMENT THAT HOLS THAT OIL IN
TYPICALLY WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO ON THESE IS YOU’LL HAVE TO CUT THE RUBBER PART OFF WITH
YOU KNOW A PAIR OF DIKES SIDE CUTTERS CAUSE IT’S NOT PIABLE ANY MORE AND YOU JUST CAN’T
GET IT OVER THIS PART HERE ON THE BOLT SO YOU JUST END UP CUTTING THE RUBBER PART OFF
SO WHEN YOU REINSTALL THESE THE TORQUE SPEC ON THESE VALVE COVER BOLTS IS ABOUT 10 ABOUT
10 FOOT POUNDS I THINK IT’S LIKE 8.5 ACTUALLY BUT I DON’T HAVE A TORQUE WRENCH THAT GOES
DOWN TO 8.5 SO I JUST PUT IT AT 10 FOOT POUNDS ITS NOT VERY MUCH YOU COULD SNUG THEM
UP BY HAND YOU KNOW WHAT JUST TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH TECHNICIANS AT THE DEALERSHIP
DON’T REALLY USUALLY EVER BOTHER TORQUEING STUFF DOWN EXCEPT MAYBE WHEN IT COMES
TO HEAD BOLTS AND LUG NUTS
SO NEXT THING YOU WANT TO DO I’VE SEEN GUYS TAKE A SCREW DRIVER AND STICK THEM HERE AND
PRY IT OPEN TO GET THIS VALVE COVER OFF YOU REALLY DON’T WANT TO DO THAT THIS IS
ALUMINIUM ALL THIS STUFF IS ALUMINIUM YOU RUN THE RISK OF DAMAGING IT AND THEN YOU
CREATE YOURSELF ANOTHER OIL LEAK SO WHAT I LIKE TO DO IS TAKE UM TAKE THIS OIL FILL CAP
OFF STICK YOUR FINGER DOWN HERE JUST PULL IT UP I FORGOT THIS AH THIS VACUUM HOSE RIGHT
THERE SO WORK THIS OFF WORK THIS CLIP OFF YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO JUST GRAB THIS AND WORK
IT OUT
ALRIGHT SO THERE’S YOUR FRONT VALVE COVER THIS WHOLE PART IS WET RIGHT HERE
SUPER WET DRY UP HERE BUT YEAH THIS VALVE COVER GASKET IS SHOT SEE ALL THIS
LEAKING HERE THAT’S GUNK SO YOU HAVE TO CLEAN ALL THIS STUFF UP BEFORE YOU
PUT THE NEW VALVE COVER GASKET ON SO THE HARDEST PART IS TO GET THESE TUBE SEALS
OUT TYPICALLY WHAT I’LL DO IS GET A PICK OR SCREWDRIVER GET UNDERNEATH IT AND PICK
IT
UP I DON’T KNOW IF YOU GUYS WANT ME TO SHOW YOU THE BACK PRETTY MUCH SILIMAR TO THE
FRONT I’LL JUST SHOW YOU ALL THE STEPS ON THE FRONT ONE I DON’T WANT TO MAKE THIS
VIDEO TOO LONG CAUSE YOU GUYS SEEM TO GET PRETTY BORED EASLIEY ONCE ONCE I START ROLLING
THE END MUSIC YOU GUYS SEEM TO LEAVE DON’T WANT TO STRICK AROUND TO SEE THE COOL
ANIMATIONS I DO AT THE END OF MY VIDEOS IT’S NO BIG DEAL WHATEVER EVERYBODY’S IN A
HURRY EVERYONE HAS AN ATTENTION SPAM OF ABOUT 3 SECONDS NOWADAYS
SO THIS SIDE OF THE ENGINE LOOKS REALLY GOOD AND CLEAN YOU DON’T SEE ANY SLUDGE
BUILD UP ON THIS HONDA ACCORD V6 IT’S A REALLY GOOD SIGN AT 250,000 MILES BUT IF YOU
HAVE NEVER DONE A VALVE ADJUSTMENT ON THIS WHEN YOU DOING GO AHEAD GO IN THERE AND DO
THE VALVE ADJUSTMENT SO AS YOU CAN SEE IT’S ALL OILLY HERE AND THIS VALVE COVER IS SHOT
SO
GO AHEAD JUST HAVE A PICK RIGHT HERE JUST TRYING TO GET UNDERNEATH THE GASKET PULL IT
UP
ALRIGHT SOMETIMES THEY COME OUT IN PIECES SOMETIMES YOU GET LUCKY LIKE THIS ONE AND
IT
COMES OUT AS ONE PIECE NEXT THING YOU WANT TO DO IS THE SPARK PLUG THE SPARK PLUG
TUBE SEALS GET UNDER THERE AND POP THAT OFF THEY JUST GO FLYING EVERYWHERE ALSO
BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU GO IN THERE THIS IS JUST ALUMINIUM YOU DON’T WANT TO TAKE THIS
AND SCRAP ALONG THE SIDE CAUSE YOU JUST RUN THE RISK OF GETTING MORE OIL LEAKS
SO JUST TRY AND GET IT UNDERNEATH JUST A LITTLE BIT AND PULL IT UP GOT IT OUT I DON’T KNOW
WHERE IT WENT BUT I GOT IT OUT AND SOMETIMES THOSE ARE A LOT HARDER TO DO THAN THAT
SO GO AHEAD I’LL GET A RAG CLEAN ALL THAT UP JUST CLEAN THIS UP EVERYTHING LOOKS GOOD
EVERYTHING LOOKS GOOD HERE’S MY NEW VALVE COVER GASKET HERE ARE MY NEW OIL TUBE SEALS
I JUST GOT OUT OF THE FREEZER I PICKED THIS VOCTOR REINZ VALVE COVER GASKET UP FROM
ROCKAUTO.COM ONE THING THAT I REALLY REALLY LIKE ABOUT THIS IF YOU LOOK RIGHT HERE
RIGHT DOWN THERE MADE IN JAPAN THESE SPARK PLUG TUBE SEALS ONLY GO IN ONE WAY
IT GOES IN LIKE THAT SO AS YOU CAN SEE THERE’S A RECESSED AREA LIKE THAT AND THIS RAISED
AREA
ACTAULLY GOES FACING UP SO YOU WANT THE RAISED AREA FACING UP YOU WANT TO FREEZE THESE
CASUE IT MAKES IT EASIER FOR INSTALLATION SOMETIMES THEY’LL GET PUSHED RIGHT IN
LIKE THIS ONE RIGHT HERE BUT SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO PUSH THEM DOWN WITH A OH WITH A
SOCKET SO YOU WANT THIS EDGE THIS FIRST EDGE TO BE FLAT WITH THE VALVE COVER SOMETIMES
IT’S NOT THIS EASY IT DOES MAKE IT EASIER IF YOU DECIDE TO FREEZE YOUR SPARK PLUF TUBE
SEALS
SO HERE’S THE VALVE COVER GASKET I DON’T KNOW IF YOU GUYS CAN SEE THAT BUT RIGHT THERE
IS A LITTLE NUB ON THE INSIDE THE NUBS GO TOWARDS THE GO DOWN INTO THE VALVE COVER
HOLDS IT IN PLACE JUST RUN IT PUT IT DOWN THERE PRESS IT INTO PLACE DON’T BUNCH THIS
UP
GO ALL ALONG PUSH YOUR THUMB DOWN MAKE SURE EVEYTHING IS SEATED CORRECTLY
THIS SOCKET IS A 32MM JUST TAKING IT PUTTING IT AROUND THE WHOLE SPARK PLUG TUBE SEAL
JUST PUSHING DOWN AT THE SAME TIME IF YOU NEED TO YOU CAN GET A HAMMER
TO PUSH IT DOWN IT’S A LITTLE BIT HIGH ON THIS SIDE SO I’M GONNA PUSH IT DOWN
JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE ON THE FRONT SIDE OK IT’S IN PLACE THIS ONE NEEDS TO GO DOWN
A LITTLE
BIT MORE OK I WON’T BORE YOU WITH THE BACK SIDE SAME PRINCIPAL YOU’LL SEE YOU’LL
GET
IN THERE AND SEE WHAT WE’RE TALKING ABOUT SO THE NEW KIT CAME WITH THE NEW SEALS WE
NEED FOR UM FOR THE BOLTS ALRIGHT SO YOU HAVE TO SEPARATE THE OLD SEAL FROM THIS METAL
PART THIS RUBBER PIECE IS TOO HARD TO GET OFF SO I’M JUST GOING TO TAKE SOME DIKES
CUT THIS WIDE OPEN OK GOT THAT ONE OFF GOT THIS OFF BRING IN THE NEW METAL TOPPER
ALRIGHT GUYS I WON’T BORE YOU WITH INSTALLATION OR THE BACK ONE AS WELL THE BACK ONE IS
THE SAME AS THE FRONT ONE JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE THINGS YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH AS FAR AS
SPACE BECAUSE OF THE FIREWALL YEAH FREEZE THE HARDEST PART ARE THE OIL TUBE SEALS
THIS IS THE EASIEST IT HAS EVER GONE IN FOR ME PROBABLY CAUSE IT HAD BEEN IN THE FREEZER
