Great video. My uncle's timing belt broke due to him not serving the timing belt service. We have an engine, but our local Honda dealership doesn't have enough experienced techs to get the job done. Called a few independent garages also and same situation. So, I guess we are just going to send it to the junk yard. Sad b/c the body and interior are still in tip top condition, just needs and engine swap. Everything is functional too on the car. 98 Accord 3.0 V6. SMH
I plan on buying a jdm for my 04. I thought they were plug and play but by my little research on it today I've read where you gotta swap this and that. Could you tell me exactly what you gotta do to make the jdm work in the usdm model
Yo DM GAR love the video. Big fan. Quick question. I plan on swapping out same engine. Do I have to take off the fuel injector harness off if I plan to take out engine thru the top?
Oi Gerardo maybe you can help me out. I noticed my accord is leaking from the oil pump. Do I have to drop the oil pan also to reseal it ? Nice vid btw 👍🏼
Yes, the map reading was a bit high. Customer only wanted a straight engine swap. So that’s exactly what I did. I did drive the vehicle for a few days before returning the vehicle to the customer. Check engine light came on detecting a rich condition. The map sensor was aftermarket so I started there. After I replaced the map sensor (with oem sensor) the readings dropped to .88v and check engine was gone. Once the map readings reached 1.33v it would trigger a rich condition.
I own a Honda Accord 2008 and my crankshaft is failing and destroys the oil pump and bearings but aside that every other thing is working fine, so my mechanic suggested that we swap the engine for if they should fix the crankshaft we will still going to experience the same annoying rattling noise. I’m still indecisive though, please I need your opinion on that. Honda Accord 2008 ex. Thanks
The wiring is completely different, I’m sure the Ecu is also different. One of the comments below a guy said he wired it to the head and still didn’t work. I honestly, didn’t tried wiring it to the head because it’s an extra headache 🤕

Hi DM GAR , I’m changing the engine on a 2007 accord bringing it through the top and I’m having problems getting it to separate from the transmission after taking out all 8 bolts
@@solesstruck247 sometimes you do fight it a little bit. Just double check all the housing bolts are removed, starter, front and rear mount brackets both have to be removed. After that you should just be able to use a pry bar to separate from transmission.
@@dmgar3789 I got it to finally separate but it doesn’t seem to have enough space to pull completely out the transmission any suggestions on how to get it out ? Spent nearly 2 hours tugging it back and forth trying to get it out with no success
I saw the vtec part and I’m having issues with mine! I have one on the top and on the filter housing and I have a vtec code and I don’t know what to do anymore! I’ve tried connecting both top and bottom and nothing works! Please let me know what you did
You need to join your signal wire with the ground wire at the Vtec solenoid. Basically, you’re only leaving the connector with the ground wire going to the solenoid. Use a pigtail to join the wires. Let me know if it works.
@@judesymister1 Japan engines are so different from US engines. The only reasons we went for a japan engine and not a US engine was the price and mileage. Honestly, is quite the hustle making everything work. A lot of things are different like; engine harness, injectors, VTEC, etc sensor, a/compressor bracket, drive belt tensioner, but the most important thing is re-wiring the VTEC solenoid. The head on bank one is completely different from one engine to the other.

About to swap my engine for the same reasons over 200,000 miles on her. Good video
best t-shirt ever.
awesome video.
Good vid, how do you keep track of all the different bolts? Or is it all memory. Those are my favorite cars, that gen.
Mostly memory, but I try to keep every part with their bolts or nuts if possible. I really like that generation accords too. 👍🏻

No, you can bring the harness with the engine and swap it outside.
@@dmgar3789 hey man do you just swap the block what about the ECU?
@@lbenigno you can reuse the same Ecu. Just do a reset.

Thanks you. Yes, you have to drop the oil pan to remove the pick up tube from the engine block and the oil pump.
part 2 ?
MAP sensor voltage is a bit high at hot idle, usually like to see around .9v. Did the customer decline a valve adjustment?
Yes, the map reading was a bit high. Customer only wanted a straight engine swap. So that’s exactly what I did. I did drive the vehicle for a few days before returning the vehicle to the customer.

Sadiq shehu if you’re having issues with the crankshaft and oil pump is best if you just do an engine swap if you plan on keeping the car.
Are you able to use the head vtec instead of the oil side vtec?

Kool video ! You should fix my 2005 honda accord v6 has oil lick ! What's common oil lick 05 accord
Gerardo Thanks 🙏
What’s wrong with your accord?
The most common oil leaks;
-valve cover gaskets
-oil pump
-oil pan
-rear main seal
-camshaft end plugs
@@dmgar3789 i think is rear main seal , i see oil drips near the trasmission

Dm gar do you have a diagram of which wire you splice together?
Just cut the signal wire at the solenoid and pick tail it to the ground and you’re set
Is that your own scanner or the shop's?
That’s my own scanner.
