Become more disciplined, become mentally hardened, become someone who exemplifies what discipline truly is. The world at large is begging for examples of excellence, it is the individuals duty to become that example for the generations that come behind us. Personal excellence is the the ultimate rebellion. This should an obligation and a duty. Welcome to 2024 people. Get your house in order.
Common sense is a rare and valuable commodity today.
@@DavidSmith-sw5kg Common sense is no longer common any more sadly.
Happy New Year to you Ray, Lauren and the little aliens.
Well said Ray! 🫡
Ray proves that you can have excellence with humor and no stick up his butt (unlike a previous employer)........
After 48 years as a certified millwright and a college professor of machine technology, I don't want to twist wrenches anymore, but I thoroughly enjoy watching you solve problems in innovative ways!! I hope you are passing your wealth of knowledge on to the next generation!! Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Cheers on your retirement, brother!
309A Red Seal Electrician here, 17 years in the trade.. you've earned your rest! Thanks for all your hard work over the years.
You don't hear this from the general public, but I've seen the stuff you guys do on jobsites, and it's darn right impressive..
Funny how things work out. 44 years as a Barber/Stylist now retired to my ranch. I turn wrenches on my equipment and vehicles for relaxation.
Having changed countless hundreds of gallons of oil in my 55 years as a car/truck mechanic, I can’t remember not filling the crankcase with oil immediately or as soon as possible after draining it. And especially if a garage has multiple techs as Rays has, it’s a bit unnerving to me his having to ask the other guy did he tighten the drain plug, install the oil in the motor, etc. Bottom line, the guy that starts the job should finish the job, even if it’s a fairly simple thing as an oil change. This is how vehicles are released back to the customer without oil in the motor and as a result costing the shop hundreds if not thousands of dollars!
I was thinking the same thing.
I unfortunately as of late have started a couple cars without oil in them. It's the big jobs in which multiple things get done on the car at the same time. Do everything underneath and then drop the car to get the top stuff. Catch it within a few seconds and immediately shut them down, but still🙄
Well the job was more complicated than a simple oil change and Ray SAID he wanted to do a good video of that car, got it ? 😅
Ray interrupted Dave and took over to make a video instead of allowing Dave to finish the oil change.
Everyone knows the boss is always right. Lol.
Great to see Wife Unit becoming more comfortable working around the shop
Where can I buy one of those?
She was hiding all the 10mm tools under the guys of putting tools away. Cuz of that Jeep thing incident.
@@IntegerOfDoom Hard to find a great one, you just need to look at the right places. Hint Wallyworld is not the place to look, neither is expensive boutique shops. Mostly found out of the beaten path, at a small shop, where they are appreciated and helpful.
Always happy to see the beautiful wife unit.
It’s refreshing to see a real mechanic struggle to unbolt and install things by feel. Makes me feel better about my struggles to do so. 😂
Ray , I have to admit that I missed the " Dun Dun Dun " sound before you used the brake cleaner .
Happy new year Ray and gang.
I remember years ago rebuilding my small block 350 and finding a chunk of oil jug sealing foil in the valve train. I no longer open oil jug seals like you are doing. I used to, but after finding the chunk of foil inside the engine, I am much more careful. Just a thought.
Looking forward to 2024 videos!
1:00.46 when your talking about despair and everything wrong with the world and you flash your old place of employment , lol Priceless
Sharing to answer your question about the months names not all aligning on the calendar has two main elements. The Roman ruler Numa Pompilius is credited with adding January and February to the calendar to create the 12-month year (~452 BC). What you were recalling was that the name of the 7th month of the year (which had been the 5th month in the ancient Roman calendar), was changed (~ 44 BC) from Quintilis to July in honor of Julius Caesar, and the name of the 8th month, (which had been the 6th month), was changed from Sextilis to August in honor of Augustus Caesar.
Hahaha love the way Lauren knows where everything is and finds your filter for you. Probably tells you exactly where the catsup in the refrigerator is too. Hope you all had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Nothing is ever lost until the Wife Unit can't find it.
Ha ha catsup, you from collinsville?
Brooks is the sh!t
@@stanbrown5425 Catsup or Ketchup here in Thailand its ซอสมะเขือเทศ hahaha
Get your wife unit a labeler, like a p-touch. Label the tool box drawers so she can return your tools to your assigned locations and make her work easier, yours too.
I never heard of anyone adding oil to the engine before installing the oil filter. I would never thought of doing that.
generally, yes, bur if it's top-mounted you might get away with it
Or not pre filling the filter
@@mountainman5025 prefilling is nonsense
😂 married men can't find anything without their wife❤. My wife rescues me everyday.
So true lol.
Nothing is ever truly lost if Wife Unit can find it. If Wife Unit cant find it, then all hope is truly gone
You gotta love these sideways engines that are shoe-horned in the power barn
So when Dave starts throwing brake cleaner back at you 🤣this is when you know you have corrupted him successfully 👍👍🤣🤣
27:35 The spool valve "filter assembly" gaskets are like 5 bucks each from Honda. They are definitely readily available, just call the Honda/Acura stealership parts counter. They do leak over time, as you noted the gasket was flat. It's a common part to replace in this era of Honda 2.4l engines - I've done it in my Honda Element. Honda p/n 15815-RAA-A02 for my Element and I know it applies across several other models with similar engines. Good to have on hand for any Honda owner, "filter assy., spool valve" and also the "Filter ass., VTC" (honda p/n 15845-RAA-A01 for my Element) which also leak and are a bit harder to get to.
But regardless: a lot of times replacing the entire solenoid pack is unnecessary and aftermarket packs are known to be less durable than OEM, one of a couple Honda items that should get replaced with OEM. Also: If you get the CEL for an issue with this part, even without an oil leak, a lot of times replacing the filter will solve it, or running 20% MMO in your oil (drain a quart, fill a quart with MMO) will clear it.
The oil pressure sending units are another common leak as well. The owner of this CRV shouldn't really be surprised that both of these leaks happened. It's almost guaranteed to leak as the cars get older. I found it pretty easy to remove by taking off my passenger front tire and coming from the underneath/side, personally, and it removes very quickly with a 24mm 12 point deep well socket. Nice to see a video on a job I've already done, that's for sure. Thanks for uploading this one!
Additionally, only 7.2 ft lbs or 86.4 inch lbs for the spool valve or it’ll flatten the gasket and leak again. He over torqued this one without a doubt.
Also. It was a mistake using an aftermarket spool valve. They’re all absolute garbage. All it needed was a gasket. If he just threw the perfectly good spool valve away he screwed this customer. The aftermarket won’t last long.
Thank you for the info. I have the old k24, so I’ll have to keep an eye on it. Saving this video for future reference of your comments and the replies.
@@MrRedHotChiliMan The other common Honda leak is the power steering pump, which is usually the result of two o-rings getting old. 91345-RDA-A01; 91370-SV4-000 are the part numbers, I believe. Dorman also sells a kit for it - 926-157. When you do the VTC filter, you have to remove the power steering pump, so it's easy to knock both out at the same time.
They're great motors, easy leaks to correct - I run 20% MMO through the last 500 miles of oil changes and never had the codes pop for these filters. I think the new synthetic MMO is only 10% in an oil change and you can leave it in the whole interval, so that's even easier.
If it's AWD, obviously change your diff fluid. Drain and fill your transmission occasionally, replace power steering and brake fluid. The thing will run forever. Elements with 500k miles exist on the original engines.
@@jubblybits6155spot on . But eyy always upsell the job nd make more profit 😂😂😂 good thing i do my own work... i can pay myself w.e i please 😂😂😂😂
Sneak peeking at Lauren from time to time, very cute! Shows how much you care for her.🥰
Oh
Now we know who puts the tools away, you go wife unit
I have a 2013 crv and the carrier bearing for the drive shaft gave out and it resulted in requiring a full drive shaft replacement. All cause a bearing was designed not to be repaired or replaced alone. Still driving her and surprisingly in good condition here in the rusty sea province of Newfoundland Canada ! Thanks Ray. Take care
I have a 2013 as well. Just took it in for oil change this morning and was told the intermediate shaft is leaking - not a pressing need but something to get around to in the coming months. Dealership quoted $1100.
I put three drive shafts in the 2004 crv my wife had. Stupid engineering.
We just sold it with 316,000 miles.
@@kevindowning4714what you expect from honda or anything fwd for that matter?
@@kevindowning4714 Mine has only 98,200 miles.
Only the gasket needs to be replaced and is usually next day from Honda. That gasket is like $5 and I looked up that VVT solenoid aftermarket is like over $100...not cool!
Bravo Ray. I still have no idea how you can manage these painfully mentally exhausting repairs without audibly cursing. You are truly disciplined on stage.
Alternate method to lowering a vehicle that the shop that did my engine is to remove the tires and lower the vehicle to the ground on the lift. I was kinda impressed when I saw that, so much easier to get into the engine bay
Spin it, spin it, drop it 😅 I laughed so hard. You find humor in everything, even when you're irritated ❤ And that's why we watch!
I just did VTEC solenoid gasket and oil pressure sender on my '07 CRV. Both started leaking badly at 240k. I replaced PCV valve just in case it was increasing crankcase pressure and causing the leaks, but old one seemed OK. These are notorious leaks on K24 engines. It was fun cleaning it with brake cleaner. ANOTHAH ANOTHAH ANOTHAH!!!!!!
Amsoil and Wix. Thats a quality oil change right there. Good stuff.
Nothing beats working with a massive hangover.
In the 70s I worked for Callahan American motors and South Florida Mack trucks
Greetings from Finland.
Happy New Year.
We now have -35°C below zero.
It's almost cold already.
Thanks for the good videos.
Sheesh, that is close to where F&C cross. I was there in early Feb and it was -17C...was fun to walk on and "swim" in the ocean.
BONE FLAT BABY!
Gotta love the Mickey Mouse wiring modifications..............
Ray loves his Reach Around. 😝🤪😜
Cause they added July and August for months.
July for "Julius Ceasar" and August for his rank. he rated himself as equal to the gods who's names were used for most of the other months.
Spark plug socket would be handy with those sender/sensing sensor plugs. Been there, done that...
Replacing the PCV valve on this engine goes a long way to resolving oil leaks. My '08 Accord has this same engine and had an oil leak issue, and I was going thru a quart of oil a week until I replaced the PCV valve. Those suckers get clogged easily.
Ray’s phrase of the week “bone flat” 😎
😆
Bone Flat... Needs to be a Shirt, That gave me a chuckle. Happy New Year Ray!
Hey Ray Ray. I was a Honda tech for years. They use a standard 6 sided configuration. You could've used a regular deep 24MM socket on the oil pressure sensor. I see it already had a duralast one put on before. You probably could've gotten warranty on that unit
lol I eventually figured out the socket worked, kind of embarrassing hahaha
Scrolling through... Yeah, nephew borrowed that same size socket for his Honda Accord 😅
And AutoZone or other parts store has a sensor socket kit to rent for free if working on other makes 😊
About the driveshaft...I was interested in the u-joints being nonreplaceable. Apparently there are aftermarket shafts in the $200-400 range - Rock Auto. Also there are u-joint kits that use snap rings after the inside edge of the yoke is ground/filed flat (found some TH-cam videos). The original Honda parts are still very expensive, in the $600-1400 range depending on the model.
Too bad they aren’t like the Toyota all wheel drive if yesteryear. If greased they would last almost forever!
Ivan @ PHAD has a video on changing the u-joints back in 2018.
Could be true. Bought an 03 from my mechanic, driveshaft was on back order, and the price of the vehicle suggests he went the aftermarket route. Drove fine as an front drive in the meantime.
July is for Julius Cesar, August is for Augustus Cesar, and October is named for the eighth Roman month octavus.
Happy New Year Ray, Lauren and Dave. Always interesting watching you solve access issues in innovative ways. No matter how many tools you own, there is always another you need but don't have.
Well that's for sure I know I'm getting that long reach fastener removal tool. As a mobile mechanic I definitely need all the different tools so you can do the job when you need it much better!
$1200 for $30 worth of universal joints... thanks engineers... first empty brake cleaner can toss of the year!!!! Excellent 🤣
The aftermarket ones are quite a bit less.
For this reason, my 2003 Honda CR-V and 2021 Toyota RAV4 are FWD only. In Florida, where it never snows; you don’t need AWD.
That propshaft (Made by Showa - now Hitachi-Astemo) is fabricated in one piece front to back, then balanced within 1/4g on the rotation.
@@gillesthibault429 Nothing a skilled driveline guy can’t accomplish in North America. Making the u joints non serviceable is a bone head move. Toyota makes all of theirs serviceable. Mainly made by Dana/Spicer.
Being able to read printing on belts and caps from the front of the vehicle, or motor, is a "Ray-ism" much like new cotter keys, brake clean, new a/c charging valves etc. Keep on wrenchin'' Ray.
It is so wonderful to see y'all working together. This makes my day. 😊
Others would say it's terribly distractive...
Reminds me of my 1975 Chevy V8 Monza. Chevy recommended unbolting the motor mount and lifting the motor to change the spark plugs. I took a curved box end wrench cut a small part of the box part out. Heated it and bent it. Bingo. No need to lift the motor. I should have kept the car.
Love the content as always. Slight correction, correct me if im wrong, but what was leaking oil was the V-tech solenoid. V-tech is different from VVT because it doesn't change the timing of the camshaft but rather engages a larger cam lobe to increase how much the valves open to let in more air. Not trying to Reeeee but im sure the honda guys will when they notice.
But....but... muh v-tech didn't kick in yet LOL. Always loved that excuse when they lost races back in the day.
You are correct
Good morning Ray
A neat trick I once saw a guy use was one of those small Z-Tool pump up air bags to hold a belt up against the pulley so it didn't fall away while trying to route it the rest of the way around the serpentine.
that's a hell of a good idea .
@@oldbiker9739 I thought so too
the names of the months date from roman times, yes, but then, the year used to start in march, not january. Later, it was moved to start in january (to make it closer to Christmas i'm told), which is why the months corresponding to a number are offset compared to the current year start.
Happy new year to you Ray and wife unit and Dave . Mark from Toowoomba Queensland Australia 🦘🦘🦘🦘
By watching, you made us feel the frustration and pain Ray.
The fustration part of any job is always the worst when you are near the end of a job & that last bolt will not line up hands are tired sweat everwhere I feel for all who have this problem.
Oil leaks-pcv, oil plug-seal, filter double seal, valve cover, rear main seal and cover seal, oil pressure switch, vvt actuator, oil pan seal, front timing cover and crank seal
Watching you search for the hole for the oil pressure sending unit made me feel like a kid watching Sesame Street yelling at the TV to give the character directions on which shape was which.
Happy New Year Ray! Excellent video and looking forward to another year watching you and being able to learn new things.
You are correct regarding the names for the months Ray. There used to be 10 months with October, November and December as the 8th, 9th and 10th as the names suggested. Two more were then added named after Emperors Julius and August giving us the slightly odd sequence we now have.
The two new months are January and February, which meant March used to be the first month. The re-naming of Quintilus to July and Sextilus to August is another seperate change. 😊
Happy new year.
Ray, so good to hear your voice and watch you working on the first working day of 2024. Also wonderful to see the lovely Lauren and hear her dulcet tones. Wishing you, Mrs. Ray, and all the kiddos the very best for the coming year. ❤🎉🤗🫡
Watching this video just convinced me to keep my '86 Bronco......can't believe driveline can't be rebuilt.
Happy new year Ray, Wife Unit and Kid units. Thank you Ray for all the content in 2023. You stay safe out there. Maybe play some 4 non blondes....couldn't hurt
Happy New Year 2024 . Congratulations on successful 2023 stepping out on your own. Thanks for taking us along, you bring a smile every video. 😊
So sad that you have to work the holidays to make ends meet now.
By the way thank you for all the editing last year. Long hours 🎉
This is a prime example why I don't work on vehicle's any more but you have great video's I love them !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy 2024 Ray, Lauren, Dave, and families! Watching you work by feel on that VVT-i solenoid assembly reminded me of R&R'ing one of the upstream O2 sensors on my old '98 V6 Ford Contour with the part buried deep under the firewall and my arm wedged in there up to my elbow. The Ford techs at the local dealership were both impressed and highly relieved that I did the work (without a lift) and that they didn't have to -- service writer said that the techs draw straws as to who gets that job on V6 Contours and Mercury Mystiques. 😂 Best wishes for continued success in the new year Ray. 👍
Ray today it was painful too watch , you were not having a good day , today . I hope your day gets better. As I'm sure it will. You are awesome my man.
HAPPY NEW YEAR to you Ray, your family and crew.
You are correct, Augustus and Julias Cesar gave us the month July and August, which pushed by September and October.
Ray I looked up the drive shaft for the Honda Crv and I believe you said it priced out at $1200. At that I might take the shaft out drive it.I looked it up on line and it came up under $300 but that wasn’t the oem part price or maybe I just have the wrong part price. Anyway if it’s that high they are really “proud of their part. Have a good Ray ,you always have good “how to, entertaining “videos
Looking forward to watching next video on this suv
Happy new year all of you.
I believe there will still be young men and women who wants to do a good job, where knowhow and quality means something.
I'm still using my tools and some of them are + 40 years old. Bought them when I was a trainee, pulling out body damage and repaired rust.
Now a days I'll rater do mecanic jobs. I've got my part of rust and damaged cars.
Allways enjoy see you repair and use your spanners.
Keep up the good jobs, Ray.
I IRC Drivelines Northwest can replace the u joint connectors with replaceable ones. I had them repair a couple of drivelines for years back and they did an excellent job.
happy new year to you wife and kids hope its fantastic for you all
It sounds right, is what I used to tell my English teacher. It's a wonder I ever got out of school at all.
You taped it backwards! Maybe next time! Love your content. Thank you Ray.
When repairing the cooling system leak, be sure that the plastic housing is not cracked. Plastic gets brittle as it ages.
Happy New Year, Ray, Lauren and family and Dave. May the coming year be healthy, wealthy and wise. From Edmonton Alberta Canada 🇨🇦
Happy New Year to Ray and the Family Unit from the U.K.
Happy new year Ray! Those VVT solenoids on the honda 2.4s are picky AF on certain aftermarket oil pressure switches. They like to throw a bunch of codes when they leak too. Great job on the swap, you make it look easy! Theres also a second gasket screen that honda has put a service bulletin on, its on the front of the head behind a small plate by the PS pump. Keep up the great videos, im always learning something new from you.
Good morning Mr Ray, hope y'all had a great New Year, and have a wonderful day
Happy new year Ray, wishing you and the fam-unit the very best for 2024!
Ratcheting box wrench, please lol
Serenity now, serenity now
Tip: if it is hard to pinpoint a leak, wash the engine (areas). Then blow it dry with a leaf blower. Take the vehicle out for a Spirited Drive. Then reinspect your leak area. If it is a leak, it should be obvious. On the other hand a small weap may require more driving.
You advising Ray or us other knuckle heads? If advising Ray how much time do you want to pay for to find a leak that is a pro Ed leaker anyway. 😂
@@johnlarkin549 There's lots of Folks with limited Automotive Skills that can always improve their game.
Ray has enough experience he takes the most comfortable route for him.
@@stealthg35infiniti94 I dont disagree with that I just wasn’t sure if you were advising Ray? His videos are long enough now without spending half a day driving in circles trying to pinpoint a common leak 😔
@@johnlarkin549 As Auto Tech Instructor, I try to help other DIYers in better any easier ways when experience is lacking. I don't intend to correct or embarrass the Video Maker in anyway. To this day, I'm still learning from Ray, and other You Tube Diagnostic Technicians. I have even gained knowledge from other Viewers that have shared their experiences.

Happy New Year, the best wishes for 2024. And a lot more self lubricating filters 😆
you will never forget those palm ratchets now
Wanted to wish you a happy New Year for you and the wife unit
Similar July was added and named for Julius Cesar. Later on August was added and named after Augustus Ceaser. Since July had 31 days, August needed to have 31 days as well.
I like when I was working on the vehicles from 1979 and older, they always had room to work on them.
Happy New Year, what about using a Deep Well Impact Socket which should work for the oil sensor. Just thinking..
Patience is a virtue, which you seem to behold. Lol👍
Anyone notice how close that AC compressor is to the front of the vehicle. Back in the 50's, 60's hell even the 80's there was much more room between the engine and the front of the car. Now everything's packed so tight up front. You used to be able to get in minor accidents without totalling out a vehicle. Makes you wonder if the design changes were, in part, so they could sell more cars.
Less weight, better fuel mileage, as required by ever more strick EPA regulations.
As I understand, you're correct. Not just Julius Caesar, but Augustus as well.
Ray Happy New years broseph...can't wait for the new Year and all the great jeep things to come Lauren it will be fine the thing is mint!!!
In the old Julian (Roman) calendar, as observed in Europe, the year started March 25!! (This was close to the vernal equinox.) So October was the 8th month! In 1583 the Gregorian calendar started skipping the leap day every 400 years to compensate for the true length of a year (i.e. slightlly less than 365.25 days). In 1752 England finally changed to only the Georgian Calendar making Jan. 1 the start of the year (and also added 11 days so Easter would be after the vernal equinox.)
I can see doing the driveshaft delete if you’re driving in a climate where there’s marginal difference between FWD and AWD. I have a CRV as well, but the AWD has paid for itself many times over in winter conditions. Yes, FWD is fine in winter, but the AWD makes all the difference in the world if I have to drive in the day or two after the snow flies. (Especially where I live - way too many people do stupid things driving on fresh snow that packs and polishes it)
In Florida, you don’t really need AWD since we don’t get any snow and the average user doesn’t take their grocery getter off roading.
@@applepoop10 Might get stuck on a boat ramp with a jon boat tho hahahah
Ray, I see your wife there rearranging and organizing your toolbox, you got yourself a keeper. You lucky guy.
Please tell wife unit politely not to open to many drawers on tool boxes at one time pet peeve of mine love you guys to death you guys make my day week month and year do not give up your videos happy new year 17:33
Happt new Ray and family!
Speaking of oct... September, October, November, and December used to be the 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th, months as Lee their names. Julius Caesar added a month for himself as well as Augustus, hence adding July and August thus throwing the system off.
Honda tech here, yes .3 for the solenoid is right, takes me about 10 mins to do, the sending unit is all about how flexible you are 😂
me and my wife was talking about this the other day, started why do we have a leap year then we went through the history of the calendar cool stuff
This engine configuration is my least favorite belt to change. This engine type in a Civic prompted me to purchase a special belt tensioner tool.
Watching you do that oil pressure sensor was like watching a blind man trying to find a corner to stand in a round room.
To answer your month question, you are correct on Julius Caesar. Julius added July, and Augustus Caesar added August. This is why they are off between June, and September.
