Thanks for showing the thanks for showing the removal and installation of the front rocker oil control valve and components. I liked the steady camera work.
Thank you for the reply I haven't been posting many videos but I'm getting more used to using TH-cam LOL I'm going to be doing a motor swap soon on this vehicle because of the high kilometres on it
Hey brother thanks for the video. Although we have so much access to the world through our computers/phones, this is one of the only helpful videos I found!! Much appreciated!! One question I have... I know you torqued the screws down to 16 ft lbs from the center out. How about the 2 screws that reside on the front spool bank? What's the torque specs for those? If you have them it would be a great help for me!! Thanks again
Thanks for the video man Doing mine now... I've got it torn down. So just gotta loosen the rocker assembly, and lift? Nothing to worry about when loosening the valve train? I thought about just doing the top half... but doesn't make sense after coming this far.
you will be fine the rockers sit in those tubes which oil goes through those holes for lubrication. But they can slide out but only if you pull on the roller rockers themselves, same like how the vtec spool valve slides out and you could either replace the Vtec gasket if its leaking or the complete spool valve assembaly hope that help you
So, my 2008 Odyssey V6 has a bad oil leak dripping down onto the AC compressor. Can't really see the actual source of oil, but it is motor oil. From the YT videos, it looks like the Vtek solenoid gaskets go bad (2008/ 140K miles). Do you know of any other possible common sources for this type of leak on these vehicles? Thanks! Great Video!
The spool valve could be one as well as the valve covers can leak the other thing to check is the front main seal at the side of the engine if it's leaking there it could be hitting the serpentine belt and spinning oil on to the AC compressor
so did you set the timing to a certain setting to open or close the valves to make the rocker assemble easier to move? I believe the manual says to loosen the valve adjusting bolts first when removing the rocker assembly, but I see you didn't loosen those bolts?
Hello let me ask one question When changing that valve does that interrupt the timing on your engine do you need to adjust your time in after doing this As I’m about to attempt to do my car
Yes but there should be a feeler Guage measurement to check the gap between the valve and rocker once u have it back together rotate and check the gap and adjust accordingly I hope this helps
@@lennywarren9730 yes it helped but the car is all together now ---- seems to be running great / thanks for your speedy reply ---- thanks for posting that vid , it helped out a ton!!!! thanks again 😎
Even after replacing the gasket on VTEC solenoid and having a bad leak to the point of burning the alternator, but no longer leaking, I see that a code still pops up for the oil pressure switch. Should I just replace that or should I just replace the hole spool valve system like in your video?
Replacing those gaskets only wont fix it due to the new gasket design. Honda does not sell the gasket alone. Only the whole spool valve assembly. So the ones in ebay or Amazon will damage your solenoid.

The J series motor doesn't have those spring pins on the side of it like the k-series motor does you can actually slide out the tubes and change the roller rockers which I had to because the cams were pitted all I know I'm actually going to be changing the whole engine and moving the stuff over that I put on this motor to the new used motor
Great video. I changed just the top part of this because it was leaking oil and took out my alternator. No more leak but now I have a P3497 code and engine runs rough... Any ideas? Thanks.
You do have to change both, because it looks like the bottom one it’s stock and the oil can’t run on those wholes, that’s why it rips the gasket for the pressure, so when you change that old gasket it has no where to release the pressure, and show the a Code, this will happen mostly when it’s cooler
@@raultorresjr2003 Alternate/OEM Part Number(s): 15825P8AA01 that's the part number for the vtec gasket ur local parts store should have it if they for some reason don't rock auto is a parts website that u can order the part from and have it shipped to ur door
The spool valve was leaking and the motor has 300+ km on it the cams were pitted and collapsed one of the rollers as well it needed 2 new cams once I looked further into it and the front spool valve was sticking from old oil and the metal clogging it
If you're just changing the spool valve knowing you take off the valve cover and you can take off the 12 mil bolts that hold down the roller rockers to the cam
I just came across this video . My mechanic replaced this part because there was leaking oil and it destroyed my alternator . And after replacin this the car showed Check engine light with PO300 304 305 306 . Misfire in front bank of the car . My car works perfectly but codes doesnt dissapear . And if i do reset they come back again . Any idea of what can be wrong ?
No you shouldn't have to worry about the timing you wouldn't have to take off the belt or anyting which means everything would stay at the correct timing
Thanks for replying. I wish you’d have replied sooner thou. So I ended up doing it the way you explain it in your video and so far the car it’s been running good; except that my valves are a little louder than they used to. I checked them out to see if they’ve got loose but not they nice and tide. 😕
And it's leaking from the Vtec solenoid did they change the gasket are you sure that's where it's leaking from because it could be another leak like the valve cover
Make sure everything's tighten down correctly or make sure that the gasket was seated correctly if the gasket is not in the right position it could be leaking even worse
Hello, I replaced the solenoid spool valve and now I have a problem, I have the check engine light on and the codes p0300, p03005, p03006, what went wrong?
@@lennywarren9730 if they are connected and I changed the spark plugs and it's still the same, when I changed the solenoid I didn't remove the belt, I just changed the solenoid and put everything as it was and I got this error
Honestly can't remember to tell you the truth taking off the timing belt cover I believe I did have access to it I think I had to remove the power steering pump out the way so yes I had to remove the belt
And you don't have to unbolt the power steering lines just loosen the pump from where it is and you should be able to rest it to the side of the engine bay
Thanks for showing the thanks for showing the removal and installation of the front rocker oil control valve and components. I liked the steady camera work.
Great video helped me take off that code after so much trial and errors thank you so much . I saved a lot of money.
Great Video, thanks for taking the time to explain this problem........I have this problem with my sons 2009 Honda Accord V6 engine.
Were you able to scan it and check for any codes
u did a good job bro, looking out for more videos soon
Thank you for the reply I haven't been posting many videos but I'm getting more used to using TH-cam LOL I'm going to be doing a motor swap soon on this vehicle because of the high kilometres on it

Will I be able to remove and reinstall the rocker arm assembly without removing the spool valve? I need to slide out and replace a camshaft
Does really timing belt needs to remove for this job ? Can be done without it ?
Wish u showed how honda bond was applied.
Hey Lenny is the spool valve why the inside of the head looks like really dark on the left side?
How much pound need the cover valve nuts.
Is it necessary to take the timing out?
Note: I run a vacuum cleaner with pointy tip while scraping off old gasket material.
so did you set the timing to a certain setting to open or close the valves to make the rocker assemble easier to move? I believe the manual says to loosen the valve adjusting bolts first when removing the rocker assembly, but I see you didn't loosen those bolts?
Yes I did set the timing to clynder 1 tdc
Hello let me ask one question When changing that valve does that interrupt the timing on your engine do you need to adjust your time in after doing this As I’m about to attempt to do my car
It shouldn’t since the fan itself isn’t moving!
Hey Lenny, I need to ask if the first 2 rocker arms should be touching the top of the springs? Maybe when i torque them then they will touch?
Yes but there should be a feeler Guage measurement to check the gap between the valve and rocker once u have it back together rotate and check the gap and adjust accordingly I hope this helps

So what happens if you pull the whole cam off on accident and the pins r released how to you reset the pins?

How much you paid for that part? At Honda

? I have 2013 odyssey changed valve cover gasket still leaking oil on same place ur cleaning the gasket would I need to replace it ?
Where is it leaking from the vtec solenoid or the valve cover can u send a pic of the leak

Hey Len. What were your Symptoms and did this solve them? Thanks in advance.
The spool valve was leaking and the motor has 300+ km on it the cams were pitted and collapsed one of the rollers as well it needed 2 new cams once I looked further into it and the front spool valve was sticking from old oil and the metal clogging it
Do you have to reset valve lash?
No I didn't have to reset the valve lash you will be fine
great video. one question: do i need to take off the timing belt when i do this?
If you're just changing the spool valve knowing you take off the valve cover and you can take off the 12 mil bolts that hold down the roller rockers to the cam
I would have like an YES OR NOT answer to this question.
That would’ve been very helpful
Maybe you need to
@@samuelmora6502 you do not need to take out, or remuve the timing belt to replace that valve.

Did you ever get this figured out? I'm having the same problems and codes on mine now?
Should I worry about timing when I do that?
Should timing be reset?
No you shouldn't have to worry about the timing you wouldn't have to take off the belt or anyting which means everything would stay at the correct timing

Your more than welcome happy to help sorry I way late on the reply
So i got mine replaced and it is still leaking oil from the valve. Alot more than it did before. Any advice?
And it's leaking from the Vtec solenoid did they change the gasket are you sure that's where it's leaking from because it could be another leak like the valve cover
Make sure everything's tighten down correctly or make sure that the gasket was seated correctly if the gasket is not in the right position it could be leaking even worse
Yeah both rubber gaskets were intact as well
I replaced the entire part like yours. It was all fit together already just had to install on car.
And you cleaned the area where the gasket goes as well
Hello, I replaced the solenoid spool valve and now I have a problem, I have the check engine light on and the codes p0300, p03005, p03006, what went wrong?
Sounds like there us multiple misfire possibilities could be mabey something not fully plugged in like the coils connectors

Hope you’re are not fuckup the whole engine it’s may cause another serious problems
Where is the tear down? 😑
Yes ur right I will have to do some better vids of the step by step on the tear down
I just did this and now a have solenoid malfunction code wtf? And the rear one too and I didnt even mess with the rear one. Stupid cars I swear.
Do not use Amazon seals they will throw codes and lock.
How and why? I have a leaky gasket and want to replace.
video sucks it should be how to clean or remove a gasket
