I love watching you work brother. It is like clockwork. No shortcuts or cutting corners. The attention to detail and patience. This is a beautiful ride and the work you’ve put in is priceless. I could watch this all day. Very nice work.
@@andydhillon1977 I get all that, but cleanliness should always be a part of the job as well. Customers are billed by the labor hour, whether it's 15mins into the hour or 45. "Most" mechanics do not care for that part one bit and should take some pride in providing excellent mechanic work and a cleaned and finished job.
Love the attention to detail. Well done. Taking your time and doing it right! 👍 This takes me back to when I did a clutch job in my garage with hand tools and no lift. 05 Mazda 3 GT. I took the flywheel to the machine shop next to my work on my bicycle. Took me a while to get it done.
Easily could’ve made shortcuts with the same results, but that’s not the AHC way! Absolutely love it and why you folks stand out from the other “TH-cam builders”. The attention to OE detail with the subtle upgrades , muy perfecto
This was one of the best episodes. I look forward to Saturday all week while I'm wrenching at work. I really enjoyed you guys cracking jokes and stuff. More of that! Much love from Utah. 👌🏻💯
The attention to detail on this is amazing. Keep up the good work. I thoroughly enjoy watching content like this. I hope to one day be fortunate enough to have skilled and passionate people like you working on my car.
I done a test before to see if the valve cover is actually insulated from the head by the rubber gasket. I used a milliohm bonding meter (used on aircraft to measure ground path resistance) and you can actually get a ground from the corner bolt hole (it was around 0.5 ohms). The stud as used in the video is a much better ground though, resistance was roughly 100 times less at this point. The studs are definitely better, but the bolt hole will work for you if you want to use it. Lovely car all the same, and great attention to detail with the work carried out.
Oh Mike. One more thing to do under the hood. Pop the VTEC Solenoid off, sand the exterior and repaint, plus clean interior w/ brake clean and pop in new gasket and screen. 🙃
I just love watching your videos Mike. 👍 They are soo soothing and comforting, takes away the whole days stress. Thank you for making these video. Hondas 4 life! 💪
As a similarly afflicted mate once told me, it’s only “OC” because it’s not a Disorder … ha ha … I get my top up of beaut OC ness every time I see you at work Mike. Brilliant. What can I say: shared same level OC, but your mechanic skills are at another level ! Thanks heaps.
Omg dang, 26:25 I’ve taken out my Integra axles numerous times over the years and never thought of using extensions like that to hold the knuckle out to the side. Gotta remember that trick for next time!
Now I know why Mike gets paid the big bucks. Awesome work man. I'd be honored to have you work on my Si....if you weren't on the other side of the country lol
Great job as always Mike, I love watching you guys work as you are very professional with no stress or forcing things if they don't fit, very relaxing I hope your customer love all the upgrades you fitted 👌👏👍 John UK.
Also..... Thank you so much for getting the word out on the correct spot to ground the cylinder head. That mistake drives me nuts. That stupid bolt hole for the JDM DC2 throttle cable has thrown people off for decades now.
PRO TIP!!!....Honda screws are JIS and not actual Philips. While Philips bits are semi compatible, they won't reach as deep. It takes a LOT more torque to strip a JIS screw with a JIS bit. Get JIS bits from Amazon for the local bicycle shop, and you will most likely never strip one again. Most Honda chassis screws are #2 size. I think the rotor screws are #3 and the key fobs are #1. You can always tell a JIS screw head by the single dimple stamped into the head right next to the screw slot.
How much was that job I need mine done on my ek9 I have trash mechanics here in Miami wouldn’t mind shipping my car to your shop love the work 👍👍 and how clean the shop is shows a lot just by that alone
UkEk4 -B16a2 99'vti hatch myself :) road use, Cclutch-Mfact lsd-integra flywheel,Skunk manifold- 16inch wheels +many other upgades not a R but quick ,88k miles..[no idea why mid white line goes through]?
New sub where are you guys located at?! When the day arrives when i finally get my own CTR i wanna have trusty reliable mechanics who dont cut corners and knows there stuff id love to support this channel and your business in exhamge for better modifications along with a better performing CTR when the time comes ( probably another 2 years from now but i would really like to know the location to keep in my pocket for now)

You think he would have the same fluid ness and speed if he was using a different brand of tools. Milwaukee makes it look done easy or is it the man him self. 😜

I appreciate that
Makes me very happy seeing you clean the inside of that transmission. Most mechanics wouldn't bother. Top notch, man!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!!

@@andydhillon1977 no that is not safe to assume.
@@andydhillon1977 ok, I appreciate your assumptions. Have a good one pal 👍
I wouldve spent my time separating the trans and cleaning the magnet. That would actually help not clean the outside
I love how much space and how easy it is to do things on older civics, older cars in general
Yes, much easier than come of the late model vehicles
Talking about doing the job right and taking pride in your work, this guy works on this car like he owns it, I respect that kind of thing
Thanks for the kind compliments
@@ahcgarage. It’s only the truth, your video made me miss my Honda FN2 civic type R and my EP3 type R 🥲
53minutes is not enough 👏
Cheers!!! :-)
26.38 - nod of approval for not preloading the bushes. Good work, great content.
You make it look so easy. When I used to do it, knuckles bleeding, cursing, frustrated, yelling at bolts. Good old times with those B series.
Thanks a lot. The lift makes it a breeze

The RHD EK CIVIC Type R has ALWAYS been my Dream Honda since the 90’s!!! Love ❤️ those hatches!!
Right on!

Crazy how something as small as a cap and hoses transform the look of the whole bay great job guys
Facts!! Everything adds up.
Oh Mike. One more thing to do under the hood. Pop the VTEC Solenoid off, sand the exterior and repaint, plus clean interior w/ brake clean and pop in new gasket and screen. 🙃
Great suggestion!!
I have to do this as well thanks. I also need to do the fuel pressure regulator.
Really glad for this channel. The old school tuner scene is all but extinct. Enjoy seeing these types of projects. Great job 👏

È un piacere vederti lavorare su queste bellissime auto sempre professionale e preciso .

You should look into dry ice blasting
We have, it's expensive but super effective
Beautiful ctr. Nice looking spark plug wires. I believe spoon joints 👊🏾👍🏾😁

I have a question about inserting a washer.
Is the notch side facing the bolt head and the flat side facing the oil pan?
The flat side of the oil pan gasket face up/to the engine block
Always detailed and informative. Love your videos 👌🏾
Much appreciate it!!

Quality work my friend.
Thanks a ton!!
Hello, you did very well, exactly how many liters of transmission oil did you put, thanks in advance, I know it's 1.8 liters, am I wrong?
After draining, should takes about 2.4 quarts of fluid
Miss the engine oil refill but its perfect👌
We filled the engine oil, just not on film
Is @mike in sales or service? Killing it on these repair videos 📹👏🔥
Service 🙌🏼
“Since we had the oil pan off we decided to go ahead and swap out the crank and bearings because they were a little oily “ 😂😂
Man like Micheal " You saw the muscle" LMFAOOO 🤣
Ha!!
Great job guys!
Much appreciated
seems like you never miss focus on your shots. do you have a big field monitor and manually focus everything?
Yes :-)
@@ahcgarage maybe you can make video on the time and effort it takes to shoot and edit. It is crazy!
Great job very clean 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
If only cars came apart this easily in Jersey lmaooo, these are the videos Honda see's and determine their labor times

Good job ,may I know the OEM part number for the Distributor cap and Rotor?
So, are you an Acura tech there? Do you have to do these jobs after hours? So curious how you do all this. Wish I was able to at my work lol

Nice job mike...
Thanks 👍

That's the good work😍

Where did you get the overflow tank from ? Can't seem to find OEM
You think he would have the same fluid ness and speed if he was using a different brand of tools. Milwaukee makes it look done easy or is it the man him self. 😜
It's definitely the Milwaukee tools, haha!!
Would you tell me what ACT clutch kit did you get? Thank you very much
Would love to have you guys work on my s2000

Factory Oem Honda Manual Transmission Fluid
@@ahcgarage ok what are you using

Which Milwaukee impact tools do you guys use? Thanks!
All of our electric tools are all Milwaukee. Can’t beat it
Before you start I thought you forgot to put engine oil because you only put transmission oil in the video lol.
Ha! We just didn't film it. Good catch!
