It is amazing to see how you take things apart with ease. As a CRV owner, I have been learning so much from your channel. Thanks for sharing your work.
I've had so many of them through here I could almost do it with my eyes closed.
You the man! Thanks for the reply.
This man has a trade that he's good at. Has his own garage and tools. He makes good money for his family. Young people need to pay attention to this.
Thank you. It's just finding your passion, pursuing it, and re-investing into yourself!
Thank you for the video! I just picked up an 01 CRV for my son. Planning on taking the motor out so we can work on it together!
Have fun! That's awesome
Hey, about the seatbelts. I can confirm its crazy how strong they are. I used work at a junkyard on a frontend Loader. Some guys would come in every day, pull motors and collect them at the end of the week. I've seen those belts pick up 2 or 3 truck motors at a time as I put them in the back of a truck. Its Crazy!!!
Saying that, know one is around when I do this with multiple motors, some belts have broken. But picking up a single motor is fine!
Nice! I've never tried to lift multiple with one belt but they are incredibly strong, super adjustable and not likely to damage anything on the engine.
Just finished taking out the engine from my 2001 CRV. Any recommendations for aligning the engine to the transmission when putting in the new engine. Love the video it helped a lot !! Thank you!
Generally speaking, they line up pretty easy. Just make sure the alignment dowels are in.
Thanks for the video man! 370k and I sent a piston rod threw the bottom end. Swapping a new baby in tomorrow 🤙🏽
Heck yeah! Did you get it fixed up?
Man I wish I knew you, My engine went bad just now on my honda crv 2001 and it has only 150k miles on it. If only I had you in My life.
I wish I could help you
If the valves are not adjusted properly every 60,000 miles they drop down and they get chipped by the Piston head eliminating the compression I've got a valve if you want to look at it! The VTech engine that Honda brought out in the second generation which I have one of those as well is the bulletproof one! First one is terrific as long as you remember valve adjustment keep the oil clean good videos cheers mate
What actually happens with this generation of motor is poor valve seats. If the valves are not adjusted frequently enough [I suggest 30,000 miles] they seat themselves too deep in the valve seat and lose their clearance. The valve then stays partially open during combustion and in a short time you have a burnt valve and no compression on that cylinder. It looks like a chip because the edge of the valve is burnt out, but if the valve and the piston actually hit the piston will also be damaged and the valve will usually be bent not chipped.
@@Mudpuppyjunior I currently have 300.800 miles on my '98 CRV which I bought new in March of that year and in my case I've found checking/adjusting the valve clearance every 30K to be overkill. Over the years I've slowly experimented on how far I could stretch out the intervals and the last three times I've done it at the 50K mark and even at that mileage mark I've only had to make small adjustments to several of them.
Thanks for the info I enjoy watching your videos on the honda first Gen as I have a 2001 hope you have more in the future your awesome man!!!
Thank you
Great video! Very helpful....Wish I had a car lift like you do, it would make it so much easier..... Thanks and keep up the good work! :)
Thank you man! I've only had a lift for a couple years. Many many years of working on the ground to get to this point!
happy to see that you are getting to where you are making some $ to where it makes it easier to get things done....... Nice, I know it's been hard work, but it looks like it's paying off..
@@julicastello775 the TH-cam isn't really paying for much. That's just repair money paying for stuff like the lift.
Thanks for all your help man! Any tips on what to look for if you need to buy a replacement engine? Does it even matter if your going to rebuild it anyway?
Cheers to you man, thanks for the great video. I just bought a 99 AWD CRV at 350k km's so I'm sure I will be checking out your whole series eventually... have you ever put a V6 into a Gen 1 CRV? I was thinking one of the Vtecs set up as a straight RWD as a "sleeper" build
Bonjour
I just got a replacement rear bumper, first gen 2001
freight. Waiting for delivery.
Australia
nice!
Love this video! Thank you for all your content!
Thanks for the tip on the crank socket!!
Yessir! Definitely a worthwhile investment
That would’ve been really nice if you showed your work. Especially when removing the wiring harness
Your videos are very helpful thanks for sharing
I have a question
Where do you recommend getting/buying a 1st gen engine from ? TIA
Liked your video! What was your trick for replacing the front pulley without using the "special" torque tool?
You can rent a tool at the parts store to hold the crank pulley while you loosen the bolt.
Dude I love your videos they have helped so many times thank you again
Heck yeah brother 🤟
Unfortunately I've now blown up the transmission in my 1999 honda crv b20z
going to swap in a low mileage motor into my crv thinking of doing timing belt, tensioner, water pump, valve cover and spark plug gaskets, cam seals, cam cap seal, distributor seal , front and rear main seals while its out, any suggestions on things i may be forgetting, im going for longevity my crv is a work daily.
sounds like you pretty much have everything covered!
Did you remember the air enrichment solenoid and the driving space continuum switches in to? You went so fast I couldn't tell.
Also the headlight fluid is filled by the petcock correct? Is that like driven by a belt or shafts?
Do you have a video on pulling the engine and the transmission together on a '90-01?
@Thehondasource you look to buy my 2000 crv clean title second owner
My CR-V is 1998 model, it's been well taken good care of, just last week I went for servicing , changed drive shaft comber and almost everything under the front,(suspension), but now my vehicle is not moving again, when I engage the gear you'll feel it's really engaged but vehicle Will not move, no problem with gear selector and selections but it won't move, brakes are fine not binding at all, transmission oil is full, pls what could be the issue, can you help?
my honda dealership is trying to charge me 4500 to replace the head gasket should I just replace the whole motor?
That's crazy money.
Hey nice job ! Will this method work with a manual transmission? Im worried about the input shaft being too long to make enough clearance
I generally remove the complete swap in order to do manual transmission replacement
You’re doin pretty considering you’re having to hold the camera or cell phone. Does this work the same for the AWD’s. Tell me why are the older CR-Vs so popular 95,Thru 2004
pretty much same process for awd and fwd. They are great reliable (for the most part), cheap to repair transportation.
Great video! 🙏🏼🙌🏼 Gonna be swapping mine out for a jdm version, do you know if I need a jdm transmission or can I use my original usdm one
Use the original trans 🤟
Amazing gob you make it look easy!!!
Thank you!
What does a job like this normally cost
What engine did you use for the crv
I have a 2002 CRV , and I would like to know if I can upgrade the engine with something more powerful
Yes, if you have a manual. Not really if it's auto
Do we have to take off the crankshaft pull to get it in?
It helps with clearance if you remove it
Just the transmission and head gasket. I brought a new head gasket just the transmission is mess up
Can you make a video of you pulling a crv motor from the junkyard?
That would be great, however I don't even know the last time I went to a junkyard.... I love the junkyard too.
@@hondaresource Do you go to car auctions a lot and do you have a dealer license?
@@DavidJames-ev9qo I've been working on my dealer license since earlier this year but unfortunately it hasn't been completed yet
Why wouldn’t you install a new water pump and timing belt; thermostat with upper and lower radiator hoses; New oil pan gasket; valve cover gasket and grommets while the motor is out? Saves time
I probably would if it was a personal vehicle. Often times customers balk at the price to do all that. They just want to be able to drive.
When you're at the part where you're taking off the bolts that Hold the transmission to the engine that big cheese greater looking thing. How do you spin it to get to the other nuts if you're engine is locked up?
Take off the oil pan and remove rod caps
@@hondaresource thank you very much!!
If it were a manual, is it required to do that uncoupling with the torque converter I assume? An engine with a manual transmission should just separate at the flywheel right?
Correct, the manual doesn't have a torque converter
I have a 1997 honda crv and I have replace the engine with a 2001 but my gas keep burning out fast what could be the problem
Super !! CRV the best !
Did u used the usdm ecu and did u get any codes? I by passed the crank sensor but now its throwing a knock sensor code. I dont think the b20b has a knock sensor..?
The JDM motor should have a spot to add it. I used the usdm ecu
Thank you x a million for this bro
You're welcome
How much should a swap like this cost
Can you disconnect the wiring harness from the Ecu as one piece ? Or do you have disconnect every connection
You can disconnect directly from the ecu, but you will have to take all the connections off the trans in order to pull harness with engine.
Hey I wanted to know what would bolt on and keep the awd drive tran without going 2wd if I want to go with a newer motor
Can you (easily) drop a K24 into one of these?
I have a k24a2 in mine
@@hondaresource that's insane, just saw you have a video on it. Will have to give it a watch! Cheers
Can u drop them out of the bottom?
Would you replace a B20Z with a B20B
I have a 2001 crv awd
JDM b20 or b20b4
My O2 sensors light was on for a while do you think it's a culprit for the smoke coming out of my tailpipe
Na, probably something like valve seals
Thanks man I'm going to see if my mechanic can check that out
Hey I have a question, can we use the same method of lifting the engine if the car has a manual transmission?
Thanks!!
No, the engine will not slide over far enough in the engine bay to clear the clutch. If the engine goes out on a manual, I just remove the entire swap.
@@hondaresource awesome thanks for the info 👍👍 much appreciated!
I'm going to the junkyard today to pull an engine and transmission any tips?
It's a 97-01 crv I think I'm gonna drop it from the bottom never done this before I'll see how it goes
It looks like indont have to remove the bpipe, t bracket
I would definitely go through the bottom. 10,12,14,17,19,36, some pliars and a couple screw drivers and you can pretty much get it
@@hondaresource 36?
@@DavidJames-ev9qo axle nut
Hello, if I wanted to change both the engine and transmission will both come out together?
Absolutely
Will I get any codes after swapping in a jdm b20 into my crv? Just curious if I will have any issues passing emissions in NYC with the new JDM motor.
Only if you don't bypass the crack sensor or swap in a usdm oil pump.
thank u!
Hey was wondering if the jdm b20 motor would pass smog. I live in California is why I’m asking.
I'm not sure 100% but I don't see why it wouldn't.
Thank you for the video helped out a lot. I will see what happens when I smog the vehicle
Damn! I saw the red one at the beginning of the video yeah it was bobbing around in the woods I wonder if that's the one I bought. I got mine at a used car dealership in Ventura California and boy what a piece of crap it turned out to be. I think I wasted my $4k lol
lol the red one got scrapped after we pulled the swap from it
Can you put a 97-99 engine on a 2000-01 CRV. My 2000 crv has been in the shop for 3 weeks and my mechanic now tells me i need to look for a motor from 00-01. Because of the computer. I want to know how accurate this is because other people tell me it's all the same. Please help !
The 97-98 motor will go in the 99-01. Just have to swap the intake manifold, distributor and swap over the knock sensor. It'll run perfect.
Any one know what the normal RPM on a 1998 Honda CR-V at 100kph 62MPH? It has 4 gears shifts and no overdrive.
Also if anyone knows, is there a transmission oil filter in the transmission for the 1998 Honda CR-V and if so where on earth is it? I watched a whole rebuild of a transmission and didn’t see anything about a filter.
Thanks for any knowledge sharing I can get.
Filter is internal on the transmission and isn't serviceable
👍 Thanks.
That was kinda why I was expecting I would see something about it in the transmission rebuild video.
Thanks. Doesnt look too hard
Na not at all
so i have a 2001 honda crv and the engine went bad i got a new one and put it in but the bracket from the axle to engine isnt lining up any ideas?
Is the intermediate shaft seated all the way into the trans? All the books holes are in the same position on all the b series engines
If I swap a motor from a 97 into a 01 crv do I also need the ecu and harness?
No, just swap the intake manifold and the distributor, everything will plug right in.
Can you put the b1 from the 97 on a 2001 or will it have problems?
you can put the 97 engine in the 01, but I would recommend swapping the intake manifold and distributor.
1997 2001 Honda CR-V means I can you help me I can not find the necessary transmission repair kit in Turkey
Man I have no idea.
My 97 Honda CR-V timing belt broke on the highway is it worth fixing?

Almost every single one I've gotten with a broken belt has been salvageable
Hey guys ,, this video really help, i just changed my engine on my 2001 crv for a JDM engine and after i did a long drive i got several misfires codes p0300, all the way to p0304 also getting p1336 and 1399 ,, the engine doesn't shake or lose any power , the car is running good , i changed the cap and rotor and still the same , any ideas or suggestions ?? thanks
I recommend valve lash adjustment

Can someone see my Honda crv 2001 AWD video because I'm not sure what is going on I've brought my vehicle several times for diagnoses I don't have the tools for this vehicle. Also in Canada
Is everything the same for awd vs fwd
Essentially.
What's that silver bar under the front?
More of like a protector of the oil pan than anything.
Problems with trasmision honda crv 1998
the car in the beginning was 4x4 and than after its a different vehicle which is FWD
What you talking about Willis? It's the same vehicle throughout
Where I can find good motor mounts for crv 1998
Rock auto
You know a good brand
Maxpeedingrods sells mounts for 97-01 automatic cr-v use code YEET1 for 15% off
Any one know how easy or difficult it is to put a 1999 engine in a 1998 body?
Not too bad, just swap the intake manifold and distributor
Ok, thanks. Hoping to get it done this week sometime.
Just wondering though, if I swap out the intake manifold does that mean I will have 20 less horse power and worse fuel mileage like the 1998 engine does?
@@AlphaBravo-hh7rp the Pistons had more to do with the power than the intake manifold
Hey, you mind if I direct message by email or something. Having transmission problems and it’s hard to find someone that knows a lot about the CRV here in Manitoba Canada.
Hie l also need a new engine too
How much is going to cost me if somebody's going to do it for me
there are several variables (labor rate, parts cost, etc) at my shop I charge $375 labor.
Thanks
My Honda CRV 1999 has a 120,000 miles and it starts to smoke what do you think should I do to help the smoke to go away

Do you have instagram ?
Yes. boosted_92_eg_hatch
Hey man. I got everything all done an the motor is ready to be pulled only thing is the one bolt on the t bracket closest to the motor. There is a bracket on my intake i guess for weight support (the one the o2 sensor hooks up to) and i cant get that mount off because the tbracket is kind of blocking the last bolt and the t brackets bolt is blocked by that i hope i described it well enough for you to help or give me a suggestion or how you got it out
Are you referring to the bolt at the top of the bracket?
