- In this video we got a 2018 Honda Accord with 1.5L Turbo. That loses coolant on daily basis and occasionally over heats when coolant gets too low. The car runs and drives perfectly fine but sometimes it won’t start after it cools off from a long trip. I will show you step by step how to replace the head gasket on that car. Make sure to watch part 1 and part 2 of the video

Thank you so much for making this, it helps way more than any manual or book ever could.
Thanks for putting these 2 videos together. Your editing is impeccable!

I commend you for an excellent job, you're teaching us all a valuable lesson in a world of the unknown and making it easier. Honda has to step it up and repair this problem that costing there loyal customers thousands, I just sold a 2013 CRV that was perfect and now i have a 2020 CRV and I'm afeard if i will have a catastrophic failure that will cost me this repair or an engine. Painful!!! We have to make a kit to correct this problems, better head bolts modification, getting rid of the notch in the middle of the cylinder sleeves, copper or steel head gasket. Not patch and wait for this to happen again. Grant it maintenance is a large factor of making your vehicle regardless of brand last. By the look of the oil he or she did not care. Thank you for your video.
Excellent Video. I really appreciate you taking the time to show the whole process with such details. Kudos to you. 👏 On another note, I can't believe no one has bother to post the proper part number for the head bolts. 🤦🏻♂️
I appreciate you.
@@pedrodelasancha516 yea that part DETAILED 👌
I drop the motor at work, love having all the room as opposed to dealing with lack of access with it on the car. Nice vid 👍👍
Great video's and yes I subscribed. Amazing how you did that from memory.....wish we had a good mechanic here like you!!!
Nice Video. A few points. Several mentions of the wrong head bolt torque. That’s a serious mistake if true. Might need an update?
For the RTV sealer. Not used to glue these engines. “The Right Stuff” is superior and closer to the original.
The chain housing does not have any dowels aligning it to the engine. It might be useful to temporarily install the crank balancer pulley before snugging any of the bolts so the seal will run true.
A2Z Auto Masters. Great video, you are very detailed. My one question is the torque numbers you listed are much different than the honda instructions for a 2018 Accord 1.5 t. Am I reading something wrong?
Did it myself following the videos thanks
🙌🏻🙌🏻 great job. Thank you for watching
How long does it take for that job? Really amazing! Congrats!
Hi. Thanks for informative video. How did you clean and prepare block and head surfaces? Thank you
Best bet is putting in arp headstuds. Doesn’t matter how many times you do this job chance of head lift causing head gasket leak is common. So buy aftermarket headstuds to prevent yourself from doing this again.
Great information! My son's 2018 Accord 1.5 apparently has a blown head gasket. There was a misfire code on cylinder head #1. Could there be more be more potential for further damage? His car is not leaking, but does have the occasional sputtering that you mentioned. We would definitely come out to see you, but we're in CA. Thank you for any information.
Driving a car with misfire could potentially damage the Cat/Converter. Shouldn’t drive it like that. Cat/Converter aren’t cheap. Thank you for watching.
The “sputtering” is from the misfire. Misfire caused by possible wet spark plugs from the coolant ports
Did you send the cylinder head to the machine shop?, I don't see If you make the valve adjustment?
Great!! Great! Video . One question? Did you have the head resurface also? My and son and I are in the process of doing this now and because of your video we are saving him ^$6G. Thanks again!!
If the car was overheating, you must take the Cyl head to the machine shop. I appreciate your comment.
The specs that I have been seeing for the 1.5 turbo is 22 FT/LBS, and then 165 degrees. Your sequence seems correct for the 2.0 turbo engine, but not the 1.5.
Great video series on this project, nice work.
Was using your video for assembly sequence and torque specs but you never told me torque for balancer bolt? Great video though, thanks.
Same issue here and Honda wants $8500 to replace the engine. Too many head gasket issues with this engine. Honda should face the fact this engine is not good and recall it for repair.
They don’t wanna recall because they know they’ll lose money what we should all do is just sue Honda and force them to recall it
@@RemingtonScarboroughhow we start this movement. I’m in
I agree! Just found out my 2018 Honda accord has a blown head gasket
@@MarinaGarcia-ri1rvhow many miles you have and what year
Needs to be a class action lawsuit
would you recommend any preventative maintenance. Would it be worth installing some ARP headbolts so this doesn't happen? I heard that is where the failure is happening
2018 Honda Accord EX-L 1.5 73,300 miles. Just came back from the dealer. Started with christmas tree lights (every warning light) going off in the car. Thought it was a bad battery, bought a battery wasn't that. Misfire on cylinder 3. Blown head gasket with a possible leak or deformed engine. They recommend buying a new engine at a cost of around $10,000.00. Went down an internet rabbit hole and it seems that the problem is quite major with thousands of posts all over the internet. The problem is believed to be making the engine more emissions-friendly to deal with government ratings; what they didn't foresee was the gaskets couldn't take the pressure. I contacted Honda GoodWill and seeing what they say, I'm not holding my breath. I've owned 1998 Honda Civic, 2009 Honda Civic, 2013 Honda Accord, 2016 Honda Accord, and 2018 Honda Accord...it's looking like this will be my families FINAL Honda.
Problem here stems from the head bolts themselves being too weak stretching and letting the heads lift under pressure. Only way to prevent it from happening again on the market is to upgrade to ARP headstuds.
What was the process for cleaning the head?
Shees, a whole lot of work
Are those head bolts M8 bolts? I wonder why Honda went with such thin bolts when the K series used M12.
hope your spec is correct for head torque. Our IN network is down LOL! so im trusting you
damn i think you mentioned spec for new bolts maybe.... reusing bolts is 22ftlb + 120 deg. new is 22ftlb +165 deg. going off CC text. loud in the shop.
You didn’t have any issues using the torque sequence for the 2.0 head bolts and not the 1.5?
My bottom two 12mm bolts on the timing cover went from righty tighty to righty loosey when torquing to 24 ft lbs. :/
beautiful video and fantastic explanation. however , wasnt too clear on how to align the timing marks and chain. especially to the crack gear ?
1.The crank has a key guide for pulley. It must face up(12 o' clock) and a timing mark below facing 6 o' clock together with an arrow marked below inside the engine face. Though u cannot see the timing mark from crank because timing chain in the way. 2.The camshafts have a hole each facing up. 3.Cam sprockets both have timing marks also(straight lines) that must face each other. Left cam at 3 o' clock while the other at 9 o' clock. He showed this in the part 1 video.
Where is your shop located? Thanks for the vid! Hope business is doing incredibly well!!
That's a lots of work. Normal people can not do this job.!!!
Thank you for the detailed video.
After my 2 revolutions, are they supposed to align with the arrows again?
Super 🤞 thank you for your time and efforts
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Did you clean up the old silicon from the oil pan
Not sure what’s the oil pan has to do with that head gasket job but Yes of course
41:47, good man, I heard that. Great video, and fix/ subbed.
Awesome, thank you!
Great explanation , thanks
You are welcome!
I have the same problem in my car, how can I contact you so you can do that work for me. ?????
Is the 2.0 better and if so can an engine swap from a 1.5 to a 2.0 be possible. If so how and what is needed? Any help is appreciated
You used the torque specs for the 2.0 model not the 1.5, the 1.5 calls for 30nm then 165 degrees
Are you sure?
Is the torque and angle degree same for the 2017 honda civic 1.5turbo cylndr head???
Is the head gasket kit necessary or can you get by using the $30 head gasket?
Correct me if I’m wrong on B series engine torque is about 61lbs with turbo I know it’s supposed to be torqued down a couple of more pounds
On these new L15BE with turbo how is it only 22lb I would assume it should be more ?
Thanks ! I’m doing my hybrid 2018 head gasket . This definitely helps . Would you happen to know the head torque specs for the hybrid model ?
That would be 30lb then 90 degrees then 90 degrees then 60 degrees same order in the video.
@@a2zautomasters862 thanks I did 30lbs 90 degrees x3
@@adr8nalin92 you used brand new bolts?
@@a2zautomasters862 no, old bolts .
@@a2zautomasters862 think it’ll hold up ?
Samething needs to be done to my accord.
Honda said it would be $4700 84k miles
Where are you located?
I’m Garden City NY. Long Island.
It’s definitely a lot cheaper than that.
@@a2zautomasters862my local shops are between $2300 and $3500. My dealership wants $5500
What is fhe thickness of the stock head gasket?
Is the only way to try and prevent or delay this common issue is by using premium unleaded fuel? I find it strange that to prevent what should be a repair well after 200,000 miles (unless it's abused) that's the "fix". Do you have any additional suggestions? What color honda coolant should I use? I've heard both green or blue. My vehicle is a 2021 1.5l Turbo
5 or 0W30 viscosity premium oil ( avoid 0w20 ), Oil spec API SP ,synthetic oil , change every 5K miles , only premium RON 95 gasoline or higher , use honda type 2 coolant ( blue ), don’t lug the engine turbo!!, and pray you won’t have a blown head gasket failure!
Not sure if it makes a difference using Permatex but I would have used hondabond
I have a 1.5T Accord . Would using 93 gas help prolong the head gasket failure ?
No. Has nothing to do with Gas
@@a2zautomasters862 Is there a way to reduce the chances of it happening ?
@@johntokar9387 change oil every 3-4k miles and don't beat it or mod it. Always use premium gas because it's a turbo powered engine....despite what Honda recommends. That'll definitely help with the injector issues.
26:12 where does that bolt go you put grease on?
Hello , please did you take the Cylinder head to engineers for any cracks on it? or a crack does not occur ? please help
Cracks don’t usually occur unless it been overheating excessively or cold coolant added while it was extremely hot
Why hasn't someone fabricated an aftermarket gasket and studs to counteract this problem?
This is why I didn’t buy the Honda accord 1.5t cuz of this issue and the cvt trans. Brought a 2018 Toyota Camry a lot more reliable and a lot better looking car.
I have a 2016 Honda Accord. Blown head caskets, it's been 4 months Do I replace the motor or what? Not much money I really need my car tired of walking to work .
replace the head gaskets.
Cometic gasket and arp head bolts will solve this.
Where do you get that kind of gasket?
So hold on u didn’t send the head to get machined ?
I hope people don't think it takes 45 minutes to do this. 🤣🤣 Took me 7 1/2 hours to take it all apart.. 🤦
Bro, I can't believe you do automotive work with an expensive iwatch on your wrist. lol
How u didn’t re machine head !!! Honda said no
At what milage did it went bad ? And are you located at ? And what was the cost of all.that ?
It was about 80k of hard TLC miles. We are in Garden city NY. Long Island. A job like that is about $2K is so dependence on few other factors.
@A2Z Auto Masters thanks for the info. Wow! $2k , I'm so lucky on mine. Mines a 2018 honda accord sport 1.5l and it has over 150k . I been on time on my oil changes and did the belt, coils, spark plugs, and a few other things. But I do have a issue with the code P0299 turbo. But it still runs like a beauty. 🫣
I’m being charged a total of 3400 plus…now am I being ripped off? My head gasket started having issues after 95k
@@wantingasecondchance3931 it’s a little on the high side but I’ve heard dealer quote was between 4k-6K
@@a2zautomasters862 Just confirmed a quote from dealership of $5100
whats that smoke coming
pretty sure it's just some of the fluid leakage burning away.
Head gasket job is an expensive job indeed.
But not no 5k like the dealers are telling people. That's just crazy
That's a lot of silicone.
