DIY Fix for Civic blowing smoke: Replacing Valve guide Seals without removing the head!

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ต.ค. 2024
- This video is to show you how to fix a Honda blowing smoke out of the exhaust. The Valve Guide Seals (also known as Valve Stem Seals) are a weak point on these motors and sometimes cause the engine to burn oil. This is what is known as the "rope" method of fixing this without removing the head. you can also do it with an Air compressor but I prefer this method. This engine is a 1.6 Liter, single overhead cam D16A6 that came in the 1991 EF Honda SI and LX model civics and CRX, among other models. The process is somewhat similar to all Single overhead cam Honda motors.

Just did a compression test on my 1988 Civic Hatchback and the number 2 cylinder is at 0 psi; all three others are at almost 200 psi. It was running rough with a code 16. I'm hoping that I just have a broken spring. After watching this video, I think I feel confident enough to change out all valve seals and springs if needed. Quality video, brother Thank you very much!
Glad to help! If not getting a remanufactured head with all new stuff is under 500 bucks. Did a video review of a place called Clearwater cylinder head where I got one and it was pretty easy to put in.
Very clean, clearly explained, best video showing to do this job. Thanks, buddy! I love you, man!
Appreciated, trying to to the best diy for these cars
Thank you for making this video . I'm about to change the valve seals on my 90 civic . It smokes a lil after sitting at a stop light but not going down the highway so I was thinking it's probably the valve seals . I was a lil nervous about it but your video has helped a lot
No problem, I prefer this method because I’m nervous about using an air compressor to hold it in. I’ve done it a few times and it’s easy, just time consuming.
Timing belt/water pump after that . They're both way overdue. You have a video on that ?? Lol
not yet, but soon!@@phillipjr998
I an convinced you have 3 hands because that is awesome camera work while doing this
Thanks man, Its a bunch of different tripods but looks ridiculous while im doing it. Thanks for the positive comment.
Torque spec for valve cover is 7 ft lb
great video very clear instructions thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Nice .
, i got a 1989 that gets awesome fuel millage , but burns blue badly . Thanks for the great vid 👍
no problem! this should help that some, probably not fix it completely but help some.
The best!
thanks!
Thanks 🙏 great video
So smart
I’m sure this is my problem I didn’t know my kit had separate in. Ex. Seals, I just put the seals in at random and after a month my car is smoking again 😂
That is a bummer man, I bought a kit that the seals were different colors so I wouldn't do the same.
So when putting the rocker arm assambly back on do you have to set the cam shaft in the ⬆️ up position again ?
No the timing never changes so the rockers will line up with wherever the cam lines are
Thank you very much!
did you also have to adjust the valves?
Didn’t need to but always a good idea
Ive just done this on my d16y5 vtec e car has been sitting for a day. I want to check clearances before i run the car but have no space to remove the wheel to spin crank. No previous valve issues should i be
Okay to run it atleast just to get some heat in it and move it then check them the next day?
If it’s a manual I would put it in gear, jack it up if the ground, remove the plugs and use wheels to spin the engine. But if no clearance issues before you should be fine if you torque everything back on
Did you put the rope in each cylinder to be able to do the other 3 cylinders?
Yes you have to do the same process for each cylinder. Find the bottom, fill it with rope and then compress the cylinder with the rope in it, then repeat for every one
Do u have to time the engine after replacing the valve seals or no
As long as you don’t take the cam out and just remove the rocker assembly then no you do not have to time the engine again.
