      7 days passed , no leaking at all, problem solved ten nice car again, really appreciate the video maker. Small suggestion, need electric wrench or 1/4 or 3/8 ratchet, or 1/2 short handle ratchet, Japanese car is good at using space

    I had a garage do this job for me a few years back. Too much digging deep for me. My hats off to you for being able to get that serpentine belt off with 2 wrenches ! When I replaced mine, I needed a like an 18” breaker bar.

    • @MendandMake
      @MendandMake  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      This gasket is known to harden and flatten out about every 7 or 8 years. Also keep in mind, the front one is a screen so it is just best to change it out too to keep it clean.

      If it's flat or split, replace it. Also, don't over tighten the bolts because doing that can split the gasket and you'll have to start all over.

    Is it necessary to remove the power steering assembly to access the spool valve gasket? It looks like you can remove the top bolt first with a regular wrench and then flip the cover down and remove the bottom bolt? Has anyone tried this?

      I’m not the best with the names of parts but the first part you change in this video the gasket with the circle and only one square is the supposed leak on my 05 And was told by the shop it takes a day to seal so I went looking for answers. Your video is the only one I can find changing this part. But there are written chats on Reddit stating rtv leeks because Honda for some reason wants hands formulated product ( which does seem sus) I’ll give it a go this weekend with out bond and I’ll let you know. Next is the crank seal you got a vid on that? ;)

As the belt was broken and off the car when I got it, i can't figure out the diagram. Ive tried a diagram that i saw on TH-cam and it still not close. Can you tell me what the heck im missing? Ive been fooling around with this for 4 hrs and ran across your video and you seem to know what you're doing. Can you send me a diagram?

      It is a sound like a diesel engine after 15 minutes of driving, idling and at low rpm. When I accelerate above 2000 rpm it is as if the oil pressure rises and the noise is eliminated (my car does reach high rpm and high speeds without problem) I suspect that it may be a VTEC gasket or timing chain

    I would've powered the entire engine bay area b4 starting this job. I hate putting gloves on these paws &I prefer 2stay as clean as possible. What a primidone aye?!
    BTW, gentlemen w/your skill set should have a serpentine belt tool. Put it on your gift list.
    I hate 2c a good tech struggle unnecessarily. Take it from this old NIASE Master Tech. u r better of w/the best tools.
    HINT: I like 2use ever so little HONDABOND sealant on those matching machined surfaces 2deter future leakage even though HONDA doesn't call 4it.
