I was thinking the exact same thing because if nut or bolt goes down the hatch and you don’t see it your in trouble big time it’s more common than most people think 🤔
You don't have to split the manifold in half to take it off. The throttle body should be removed first, then the bolts for the manifold. Also the hoses on the TB don't have to removed. Other than that great vid!
THANK YOU. I pride myself in being able to figure out my own work on my car but this was something I was skeptical to attempt solo. This was a great guide.
Reducing the size of the spark plug tube seals by placing them in the freezer is a brilliant idea! I'm glad I saw this video before I did the valve adjustment on my TL. Thanks for the tip!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I thought I was gonna replace the valve cover gasket of my 09 Honda Accord V6 myself until I watched your video. I think I'll pay one of my mechanics to do the work. I'll check back for other videos. Thanks again and it's great to have a female mechanic who knows this car. How cute!
You did an absolutely amazing job with this. I just bought a used 2014 Honda Accord V6 Sedan Touring model, I brought it into Honda for a timing belt replacement along with the tensioner and water pump. After they made their usual 24 point inspection, they mentioned it has a valve cover gasket leak. Luckily I did purchase a 5 year and additional 95k warranty for the car that covers every part of engine and transmission minus wear items. They told me it would of been an $680 dollar job for them to do it, so I was thankful it was covered. I am somewhat mechanically inclined, but this a bit more than I'm normally accustomed to doing. So again just wanted to see that was might impressive work you did right there! 👏
Thank you so much, I really like challenging myself with little projects like these and getting to save a couple of bucks on the side as well:)) I’m glad your new car had warranty on it so it was all covered, I hope you enjoy your new ride!
I can't believe a GIRL made this kudos to you 👏 I need this done and I'm stressed about how much it cost but it's alot of wk I see and u gotta have the right tools 😮😢
Wow! What a beautiful woman doing a job that I would have liked to be there with you to help you and at the same time learn, since my Accord is the same 3.5l but 2009. I love what happened to your little helping hand, every second I watched you and listened to you. You are a very cautious woman, with bags and labels so that the pieces don't get lost... I do that too, but obviously your handwriting is much prettier haha... Anyway: it's been three years since you made that video and it's a shame that I'm barely seeing you. I wish you a very happy life, that you have good health, big smiles, love in your environment and that rubber mallet so that you no longer struggle to take care of the delicate pieces. A hug beautiful woman.
great job very informative. Things like the vacuum lines and fuel lines can be just unbolted and cast to the side inside of disassembling them makes it easier to install same for the throttle body just unbolt it from the manafold and also never use metal to scrap rtv there’s always a chance that you can scratch the surface and oil will leak from there use a plastic scrapper as steel will scratch aluminum and plastic won’t. those dental pics are great for removing the spark plug gaskets make sure to torque down the valve covers and the intake in a crisscross pattern so it can be seated evenly
Great video. Give you props for working on the side of a busy street like that. Be careful when you’re removing things with a screw driver as you may run into the chance of “stabbing the shit out of urself”. You must’ve went to school for automotive you seem to know your parts. Keep it up!
I'm about to do this and your video sure will help a lot. Also, I'm impressed that you did it mostly using common hand tools. Hope you will continue to make more videos about this car.
Does anyone know what that section to the left of the bottom valve cover is? It's got 5 bolts. 1 below the oil dipstick, and 2 bolts below the blue connector in a diamond formation. 21:34 . I wouldn't remove the coolant hoses either, now that I know where they ARE! lol, I have to see videos with some mistakes, and this engine type was the closest to my engine configuration. I'm the guy that has to watch 50 videos of the same thing before I actually do....my first valve job ever. Great vid!
Is this where the oil is leaking onto the car's alternator? My alternator stop working cause oil was leaking onto it I just don't know where from. I have a Honda Accord v6 2008
No this is for when it’s leaking around the valve cover. There is a gasket where your dipstick sits and it’s goes by multiple names, the variable valve timing solenoid filter or the vtech solenoid but the the part number is F10301. When these gaskets get old they’ll start to leak oil and unfortunately in the V6 Honda accord’s the alternator sits right below that gasket and the oil will slowly start to drip and seep into the bearings of the alternator causing it not to work correctly and your car not starting right. Luckily mine had not gotten to that point yet, but yes if your experiencing that issue the part number again is F10301 good luck!:)
Spool valve. I got to change mine as well..Hear the Honda doesn't sell the gasket just the Spool valve and also hear 3rd party gasket aren't worth it..
I had a shop adjust my valves and they didn’t put the gasket back on right and it’s been leaking oil ever since and they’re not takin responsibility for it. Thinkin about doing it myself until I seen this video. Why’d I think t was gonna b easy. Lol
Where did u find the gasket at 12:18 I legit can’t find what the gasket name is called in between the intake manifold when she separates the two pieces at the time I put
Anyone have an issue with the back valve cover removal because of the wire harness that’s overtop it? Been rackin my brain here tryin to figure out how to pull this thing without having to take the wires out of the plastic harness lol
You’re scaring me to death by not covering up the intake holes. That’s the most important part of the job. I truly admire your mechanical skills.
I was thinking the exact same thing because if nut or bolt goes down the hatch and you don’t see it your in trouble big time it’s more common than most people think 🤔
For real, My nerves are all to hell.

So... you. are. amazing. and I wish I had a garage... but you just convinced me this is worth the money to have the mechanic do for me :P

I’m very impressed. Great video. Showing these dudes what’s up.
Hey Miss Reed great vid, really helped refresh my memory ...keep it up✌
Awesome video thanks for sharing.. learned a lot from this video 👍🏼
I really liked how you did start to end, Thank you very much, keep doing more video
I'm about to do this and your video sure will help a lot. Also, I'm impressed that you did it mostly using common hand tools. Hope you will continue to make more videos about this car.
In conclusion, I’m calling my mechanic to do this 👍🏼
Someone needs a rubber mallet for Christmas
Impressive. Well done!

What a Great Video You have Shared. Thank a You for sharing your Knowledge and also good Camera Work and editing! ✨✨✌️
Very helpful video needed this.
Can I just fly you out to Cali so you can do this for me. Lol. Great job
Be careful unclipping the coils those little tabs can snap really easily. Thanks for the video X
Wow this videos it’s sooo good ! Thanks
Great job!
nice! i need this steps so i can change my VVT.
Great video! We bought a 2009 Accord V6 and the front valve cover is leaking like crazy. Have you posted a link with the valve cover gasket?
You are amazing!
Good job girl
You're awesome
a seal removal tool works wanders on the spark plug tube seals!
Hello, thanks for the video. Say... how long does it take to do this job? and how much would you say is fair to pay.
Let's see more videos.
Is this where the oil is leaking onto the car's alternator? My alternator stop working cause oil was leaking onto it I just don't know where from. I have a Honda Accord v6 2008
check the front VTEC solenoid. it's near the dipstick. mine was leaking onto the alternator too.

Same deal im here now working on my 2010... first replaced alternator and belt
Spool valve. I got to change mine as well..Hear the Honda doesn't sell the gasket just the Spool valve and also hear 3rd party gasket aren't worth it..
@@shawnnareed9374 Did you have to remove all this for the vvt solenoid?
The HPS air intake hose you are using, what is the part number? I too want to use the OEM air box. Thanks 😊
I had a shop adjust my valves and they didn’t put the gasket back on right and it’s been leaking oil ever since and they’re not takin responsibility for it. Thinkin about doing it myself until I seen this video. Why’d I think t was gonna b easy. Lol
do you have the part number ? also, is it two gaskets? one on the front and the other one on the back ?
The part number for the 2008 V6 EX-L model is VS 50773 R. Yes there’s two, one for the front and one for the back:)
Where did u find the gasket at 12:18 I legit can’t find what the gasket name is called in between the intake manifold when she separates the two pieces at the time I put
Anyone have an issue with the back valve cover removal because of the wire harness that’s overtop it? Been rackin my brain here tryin to figure out how to pull this thing without having to take the wires out of the plastic harness lol
Does this job apply to a 2012 V6 honda accord
This is a really tough job Honda charge $850 just to fix it 😒 🙃
