So glad these DIY videos for the 4th generation Honda Accord Wagons. I know Honda hasn't made them for th U.S. market since, I believe, 1996. However, some of us are still driving them. Great little car, and easy for someone like myself, ( I'm 75, and a woman), who is DIY'er. I've always been good with mechanical stuff, and now that I'm on a fixed income, and a simple oil change is $80.00-$100.00, I'm staying as far from the mechanic's garage, as possible. Bought it over 20 years age, with 140,000, MI. It's got about 230,000+/-. In October, for my 75th birthday, I replaced the original alternator, with a new one. Ran into one problem, the bolt to adjust the alternator belt was bent, and I couldn't find a new one, so had to get one machined. A whole $8.00. There was a used one, on Ebay, for $60.00 something...for real?! The used ones have a tendency to actually snap in Two, during adjustment. NAPA machined the bolt, and you can't tell it from the original, except, not bent. Anyway, the spark plug tube "O"ring replacement is my next project, with the upcoming tune-up, as soon as the weather warms up, as my work area is outside...LOL! Keep those great, informative video's, for the 4th generation Accord wagons coming. I'm hoping that this will be the last car I have to buy. It's been in a warmer climate, no road salt, until a couple years ago, when I moved back to the Midwest. Has the typical rear quarter panel rust, but not buch else. Thinking of getting a MIG welder and trying some minor body repair, and a new paint job, so if you do body repair, I'll be watching. Thanks again for keeping it real, for some of us retirees, who have gotten caught in the inflation fiasco, and need to be proactive DIY'ers, when it comes to our vintage cars, that are still our main mode of transportation. God bless, Foxy Honda Gal 😊
friend of mine had me start working on her car and after seeing an oil leak i had her go and get a new kit. glad she did get the whole kit. This video helped me tremendously getting it all fixed.
Thanks to you Brian, i was able to do this myself and get my car('95 Honda Accord) running again, my mechanic never showed up and he was charging me $400 to do this, After $50 and some bruises and a few cuts, i have completed my work, i am a novice when it comes to tinkering with cars so thanks and btw you have a great sense of humor. keep it up
I'd done a seal replacement on my vehicle before but it wasn't particularly effective. Your tip about adding a little Permatex Right Stuff was just the ticket. Thanks for the great videos.
My 97' Odyssey started missing. The plug wells were filling with oil from leaking gaskets. Sopped it out with paper towels and long surgical forceps. That was it. Runs perfect. Easy to do when needed. FREE.
loved the video I wish you could show putting the rtv on and where it goes you said it in the video but be great to show everything all the way to resembled. Keep up the great work.
There's a bracket from the bottom of the manifold to the block. Just pull the 12mm bolt out of the bottom of the manifold so you can have support, but come off ok when ready.
Hey, I am very grateful for this video. I wish I had known that when I took the cams that I should have kept a screw in them to keep them from falling apart. Now my cams are in shambles. After about an hour of putting it back together they still don't properly fit back on. It's almost as if the journals are preventing the assembly to go back over the cams. I am at a loss and without a car.
@500hpb20 If the adjuster screws are inside and not on top of the valve-- then when you tighten the valve train assembly they will expand and push the top of the valves away from the center of the cylinder head and the valves will bend outward. A tech I used to work with did that.
Pushing down is OK. Sagging to the inside of the valve and then torquing the bolts down pushing outward on the valves as it tightens down is what can potentially bend the top of the valve to the outside direction of the head.
Not bad 250K miles. My 2000 Honda cr-v has 300K miles. I decided to replace the distributor plugs & wires along with the cam plug and valve cover kit. It had a cylinder 1 misfire code. Good video Mickey mouse
@philipearlwilliams If you do this carefully you won't have to re time it. Just make sure the cam stays where it is and you're OK. The timing belt holds one side down and prevents rotation. The distributor holds the other end down.
I use Right Stuff really thin for that reason. It also holds it in place during install. On Jeep 4.0L engines the thermostat is vertical in the front of the head. I used to do those every week and if you didn't silicone the thermostat in the tstat would drop and you'd have a leak. It's just cheap insurance so you don't have to do it twice.
Loosen the ends first. Tighten the center, then go back out and torque the outsides, THEN tighten the center one more time to spec. 18-22 ft lbs should be plenty.
This is the same engine as mine and this video was very helpful. Thank you! This isn't the first time you've helped me. I watched your video for changing my miata timing belt. I am a complete novice but I was able to do all this with your help. Thanks again
ok, i'll give this a try. I have this exact problem, i'll go buy the gasket and o-ring set and find out. Doesn't look too crazy to do your self. Thanks!
Great job i did one awhile back and it has oil on the plugs again i change the rubbers at the top but i didn't change the ones at the bottom thank for this video now i know.
If you are cautious and aware (and don't drop stuff down the timing cover) you can do all this without needing to pull the belt and lower timing cover or adjust the valves. Use metal paper stack clips to secure the belt to the cam wheel.
Tighten each bolt on your rocket arm 2 turns at a time in the proper sequence to insure that the rockers do not bind on the valves. Tighten the 6mm bolts to 9 ft. lbs. (12 Nm) and the 8mm bolts to 16 ft. lbs. (22 Nm).
Perhaps I should do a vid response to clarify this for some people. After all you've been a tech for the last 20 years and have seen a lot of tech's come and go and you didn't understand this. I should probably clarify. I thought it was pretty simple, but I can see I should give some more detail. Thanks for pointing this out to me.
amazing video man. I just got a 92 Honda accord and saw there was oil in the spark plug bay and thought the engine was blown. very upset until I saw your video.
You just MADE my DAY! Helped me fix my car, made me laugh and further justified that you should never, ever ask the guys at the auto parts store. You're awesome! =)
Just make sure you have the rocker arms on top of the valves before tightening. If they are to the inside and not on top there can be a problem by pushing outward as the bolts are tightened.
@nightmathzombieethan It's a bit risky, but you can put a socket and breaker bar on the bolt (well supported and no slack counter clockwise direction) and crank the starter. The pulley rotates clockwise and will loosen the bolt by the starter turning the crank the other way. Scottykilmer has a video on it.
thanx for the video man!!! i was kinda going crazy in the back of my mind why it still leaks oil in there after ive changed the valve cover gasket 2 times already.
Thank you so so much!! I think you did an amazing job recording by yourself & all the details, completely helped me out!! Im a chick, fixed my car on my own with little knowledge of engines & all thanks to this video!! Im just so happy I have my car again & I just couldn't believe I fixed my own car!!
@XKAP1976 You're welcome! Thanks for the constructive feedback! To tripod and edit the shaky transitions takes 10X longer to produce- then I don't get much work done or as many specific videos online. This way isn't as pleasant to watch, but helps WAY more people.
I have oil in one spark plug and I was freaking out that it might mess up the engine but my oil is nothing compared to yours . I only have a few drops 😂😂
@roro560v8 Problem one is an O-ring where the dipstick inserts. there's a tab higher up on the dipstick that bolts it in. Pull the bolt, wiggle/twist the tube up and out. You'll see the o-ring. You can then put a new one on and lube it up and reinstall, or clean and dry the old one and silicone it a little (permatex right stuff) and reinstall it. As for the slip of the starter bendix on ring gear. Shimming the starter may help. Otherwise you have to replace the ring gear.
@Galvathorax I broke one too on my 95 accord lx, but when I thought of drilling out the piece from the head, I instant used a small screw driver and a hammer in an attempt to turn the broken piece counterclockwise and after awhile, the bolt did back out. Get the smallest chisel that you can find and make a slot across the the bolt.
Would it not be better to back off all the tappets prior to removing the bolts holding down the rocker arm assemblies? I believe there is a "X" pattern or cross pattern for tightening the bolts. This will eliminate the possibility of warping for uneven tightening. This is a good time to adjust the valves while you have it valve cover off the engine. The shop manual suggests permatex on each end of the valve cover to help eliminate leaks. Thank you for the excellent video.
@orville58 Depends if the wires are cleanable/reusable- these shouldn't have been, but I did anyway. I'd guess around $400 or so with all new tune up stuff etc.
... im just someone learning this before i go get it fixed so that i know a little something ... with that said im assuming putting the rocker arm on the ground is a NO NO because of debris ?
Yes. Getting anything at all inside the engine is bad. When you put the assembly back in all that crap is going back in with it. He probably wiped it off at some point but it's just a better idea to put it on a clean surface and know it's good. Be creative, I'm sure you have something in the house you can use. Parchment paper or literally any paper that is long enough. I have a nice roll of masking paper for painting that's a few feet wide that works great.
here is some feedback, this was good. the only thing different that would make it better is if you had a flip out ironing board that came out of the wall to place the parts on.
Spoiler Alert: there are o-rings between the head and the rocket arm assembly. Remove rocker arm assembly to replace. You find out about 7 minutes in. Watch the whole video for massive detail and rambling.
I can't believe that you know Towelie. How's he been since his intervention? Great vid, love the humor you sneak in there. Make everything more enjoyable :) Laughter rocks.
Cool Video. I would have liked to also watched the process of the spark plugs coming out and seeing the actual cracked O rings come out. And for kicks the actual replacement of the valve cover gasket and O rings and gromets. Good video 1 of only 2 found addressing this type of situation.
the lower tube seals rarely become damaged to the point where oil seeps in at all. usually what dose leak is the upper tube seals that are mounted in the valve cover. normally this is what fixes this problem, but in older cars this can be a problem. if your going this far to repair a gasket might as well replace the stem seals and adjust the Lifters. it seems like alot of work but its really easy to do,
@philipearlwilliams no, it will be just fine and stay in time. when you take that assembly off its just the rockers that flop back and forth, the camshaft wont move at all and you won't effect anything. if you go to about 4:45 and watch him pull it off, its just the rockers that will be effected.
Looks easier said then done..cause if your not "mecanicaly"inclined then your lost to what going on...You explained very nicely..I hope I got it all to explain to my brother,who working on my daughter 94 Honda accord..that has this trouble.we don't know if car no good now or what..??Plz advise??
@ndoorlag HA! HA! I try to keep them short and not have to edit. I tend to run out of time before the end of the day, but I'm still trying to help people out. (service is the key to a happy life and this is a great tool for that.) Thanks for your patience ; )
Good video. Lacked some important details like the loosening and tightening order of the rocker assembly and the gromet installation (not hard). Also, I would suggest to not use a screwdriver to pry off your valve cover as this could damage it, (use a rubber mallet or your fist to knock the cover gently). Re-Also, probably a good idea to not put your rocker assembly and valve cover on the ground... use cardboard or a towel or anything but the concrete.
I got the same cb7 with f22a engine and I was replacing my valve cover gasket and said one more turn to tighten down the cover and SNAP...damn cover bolth broke and now I have to order one online for $20 dollars.If you break the cover bolt ontop of the cover,its a pain in the ass to remove the screw stud in the valve case.
1993 honda civic lx...i think you may have just saved my sanity...i'll repky to my own comment to letcha know in a few hours after i get some sleep & the sunlight breaks the night
sounds like a head gasket leak... your right... pull your head and replace the gasket, (make sure you look at your head wile you have it off, make sure its not cracked or warped) and as far as your loss of coolant, if your not dumping white smoke from your pipes then like brian said, pump or hose...
Great video. and i appreciate the work you put in into making your video's. because it can't be easy having to film and give commentary while still trying to work on a car.. carry on the good work.
yes thats what happened. i just open the whole thing,i just started so hope i can do it i never done something like this before so wish me luck.thank for answered any advice? about something else that i need to put more attention? thank u again

I didn't need to watch this video, but I kept watching because you made it entertaining! Haha. Keep it up bro.
I am a mechanic myself. I find your videos very helpful when I am stuck on something.
friend of mine had me start working on her car and after seeing an oil leak i had her go and get a new kit. glad she did get the whole kit. This video helped me tremendously getting it all fixed.

11 years later but thank you 👍
Yes to question one. No to question two.
@philipearlwilliams The rule of thumb there is to pull the middle last and put the middle bolts in first.
Thank you Made it an easy fix . I would hate to think how much a shop would have charged me . but thanks to you I had no problem
@richardallanjoseph You're welcome. Thanks for showing some appreciation.

You just MADE my DAY! Helped me fix my car, made me laugh and further justified that you should never, ever ask the guys at the auto parts store. You're awesome! =)
Thanks I've been looking all over on how to solve this problem!!!
Probably, but I don't know for sure. Take a plug out and shine a flashlight in there and look for a split half way down the well.
Just make sure you have the rocker arms on top of the valves before tightening. If they are to the inside and not on top there can be a problem by pushing outward as the bolts are tightened.
You did a great job; helps me understand my car better. Also you have character which made this video entertaining, well done thanks again!
Got a 97 accord with the same problem...I'm gonna fix it this weekend...thanks for the help!!
I have the same car with the same problem... Going to fix it soon... How did yours come out?
this guy is awesome to watch lmao. his tutorials are so entertaining.
@nightmathzombieethan It's a bit risky, but you can put a socket and breaker bar on the bolt (well supported and no slack counter clockwise direction) and crank the starter.

You're welcome! Yes I do. I have a vid or two on my channel.
If you were going for the induced motion-sickness effect, it just about worked (4:25 ish). Really though, good videos - keep 'em coming
Thank you so so much!! I think you did an amazing job recording by yourself & all the details, completely helped me out!! Im a chick, fixed my car on my own with little knowledge of engines & all thanks to this video!! Im just so happy I have my car again & I just couldn't believe I fixed my own car!!
So you did everything he said and your car is running well?
Thank you for for this video it really helped me fixing my Honda.
a nozzle brian its a freakin nozzle. me and my gf love your vids keep up the good work.

Demonstrate in which order the bolts come off. That information is critical for those seeking correct info. But thanks for short informative video
Omg dude I replaced the upper seals on mine and was left with the o rings. You're the first to know where they go
@Turbochargesi The symptom was misfire. Rough idle and a stumble on acceleration.
Great video! Got the job done in about two hours thanks to you - you're the man!
@fooey88 I call it the valve train assembly. You may call it a thingamajig. In Spanish they call it the tree of lifting.
@orville58 Depends if the wires are cleanable/reusable- these shouldn't have been, but I did anyway. I'd guess around $400 or so with all new tune up stuff etc.
Can't believe you actually put the rocker arm assembly on the ground like that.
... im just someone learning this before i go get it fixed so that i know a little something ... with that said im assuming putting the rocker arm on the ground is a NO NO because of debris ?

Best tutorial on TH-cam so far lmfao great mechanic
I recomend doing a motor flush and following the instructions (and if it looks like caramel inside pull the oil pan too.)
Cool Video. I would have liked to also watched the process of the spark plugs coming out and seeing the actual cracked O rings come out. And for kicks the actual replacement of the valve cover gasket and O rings and gromets. Good video 1 of only 2 found addressing this type of situation.

@hp11208 The bolts on the distributor have to be LOOSE and the top bolt comes out, but it doesn't come all out. No.
@MountStRobbie You're welcome- and thanks.
@travis999 YES> it's a lifter. You can pull it out soak in it diesel gas and then reinstall it.
@philipearlwilliams no, it will be just fine and stay in time. when you take that assembly off its just the rockers that flop back and forth, the camshaft wont move at all and you won't effect anything. if you go to about 4:45 and watch him pull it off, its just the rockers that will be effected.
@500hpb20 You're welcome. Thanks for the thanks.
Okay. I will do SP seals first to see if it will work. Thank for the response and great video. Keep it coming
Did you always know everything there is to know about cars? Or did you have to learn bit by bit like the rest of us?
Thanks for showing the gasket that you bought. I wasnt sure how to buy the o rings.
Looks easier said then done..cause if your not "mecanicaly"inclined then your lost to what going on...You explained very nicely..I hope I got it all to explain to my brother,who working on my daughter 94 Honda accord..that has this trouble.we don't know if car no good now or what..??Plz advise??
Great video, man. Iam doing my head gasket on my 92 honda accord and this really helped as far as taking that top half apart.
@ndoorlag HA! HA! I try to keep them short and not have to edit. I tend to run out of time before the end of the day, but I'm still trying to help people out. (service is the key to a happy life and this is a great tool for that.) Thanks for your patience ; )
Thank you you are the only person I've seen who knows where thoes I rings go. Good video good sense of humor good job
Good video. Lacked some important details like the loosening and tightening order of the rocker assembly and the gromet installation (not hard). Also, I would suggest to not use a screwdriver to pry off your valve cover as this could damage it, (use a rubber mallet or your fist to knock the cover gently). Re-Also, probably a good idea to not put your rocker assembly and valve cover on the ground... use cardboard or a towel or anything but the concrete.
Welcome. Thanks for the encouragement.
@elementality2431 The oil in there makes the car misfire and the misfire will cause the check engine light to come on.
@Bonfield2002 Thanks. I'll see about doing a video response and cover that.
I got the same cb7 with f22a engine and I was replacing my valve cover gasket and said one more turn to tighten down the cover and SNAP...damn cover bolth broke and now I have to order one online for $20 dollars.If you break the cover bolt ontop of the cover,its a pain in the ass to remove the screw stud in the valve case.
@nativechrist Thanks and you're welcome!
Man you have great videos. I just replaced my B-series tube seals... Too bad your not local man
Hey Mike, yes. Almost exactly the same.
@IROCwarriorAMC88 I wasn't even trying for that. I was just trying to help people out.
this has to be the best explanation...You make it fun and funny, Keep it up!!
You're welcome Elvoid! Way to go!
@nightmathzombieethan You're welcome. Ya it makes your sockets look like death.
You seems knowledgeable however, a less shaky camera and much better lighten would be great! Thanks for your time.
Keep doing the voice thing, it makes the vid more enjoyable to watch
👍 it was the hardest to find! No one had this anywhere! Totally appreciate it! You are great and always thorough! Thank you! :)
Thanks for this vid..I am going to tackle this project myself, right now! was expecting to have to pay a mechanic ;) wish me luck!
@richardallanjoseph You get high emissions of hydrocarbons Carbon Monoxide and rough idle and power loss.

sounds like a head gasket leak... your right... pull your head and replace the gasket, (make sure you look at your head wile you have it off, make sure its not cracked or warped) and as far as your loss of coolant, if your not dumping white smoke from your pipes then like brian said, pump or hose...
Great video. and i appreciate the work you put in into making your video's. because it can't be easy having to film and give commentary while still trying to work on a car.. carry on the good work.
It's probably two separate problems. One- valve cover gasket. Two- coolant leak from the water pump or hose.
Great video!!
I hate working on cars but your video put some fun back into auto repair for me.
Thank you!

Thank you so much for the video. I have a 91 Accord and I don't know shit about cars, and this helped me fix it all myself. Really appreciate it!
If the ignition and injection systems are good- clean the throttle body.
