My 2009 Civic’s valve cover gasket appears to be leaking. After I confirm it I’ll go back to this video to do a replacement. Very well done, excellent step by step instructions! Thank you for making this video!

Thanks for the comment James, I would also check out this video on my page, this gasket is probably leaking also and it would be a good time to do it along with the valve cover kzfaq.info/get/bejne/icmlnsuQ1sCXdoU.html

This is my second video watching and I already love it. So calm cool and collected. Its like if bob ross was teaching you how to work on cars hahahaha. I also love how informative the video was while still being easy to follow. Has to be the best diy video I’ve seen in a while. I will continue to watch your uploaded videos but I hope others are able to find their way to this videos. Cant wait to see future videos 👍👍

This is a great video. Slow, methodical. Explanatory. You show most of the work. There were a few cuts where I needed to see that were missing but compared to most people who skip half the work this is by far the best video I have ever seen on a repair. My suggestion would be not to cut away at all. When you removed one of the harnesses - we stupid people need to see exactly how it's done because 3 seconds later I can't remember where that part came from or how I got there & when I back up there is only a cut in that part of the video where I desperately need to see HOW it happens. This leads to frustration. Punching. Then I just walk away for 30 min's.

I agree, your feedback is excellent, sometimes I get to caught up in trying to keep the video moving and to the point and forget about the details, great reminder and feedback, appreciate the comment and sorry for any confusion

@ModernDayRenaissanceMan Жыл бұрын

@@dannysdiygarage I was also thinking a list of parts that you will need before you get started either in the description or the beginning of the video. Now that I am ready for the job and I am at the store I don't know what to buy. So something like a list of brake cleaner, a scraper, or something along those lines would be helpful and really set you apart as well

Just did this job yesterday,,gouged the shit out of my hands on the 2 back middle bolts you have to be a magician to remove/replace those same 2 bolts without loosing them,,same goes with the 10 mm socket,and even if you clean the groove really good the fel pro gasket i used did not want to stay put,,had to be super careful installing it or risk bumping it out of place and all for nothing,,,by the way first thing before you start pull out the dip stick! ,,,i removed everything and the valve cover was loose but would not come out until snap what, what was that? That was the dip stick shearing off,there goes another 10 minutes with a welding rod and a blob of grease fishing out the snapped off dip stick,,great video by the way!

@dannysdiygarage 3 жыл бұрын

Common leak there at the valve cover, especially with high mileage, the gasket is not expensive , here is a link to the one I purchased Genuine Honda 12341-RNA-A01 Head Cover Gasket www.amazon.com/dp/B00CMUBMLC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_5E27XCM775MY4FKXB34W?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 , also consider purchasing a set of feeler gages to check the clearance on the valves while the cover is off, I have a video on this also, do you need a link for feeler gages?
