I Just Bought 2 Honda Elements
Рет қаралды 166,758
3 жыл бұрынYes, you read that correctly. I just purchased 2 2005 Honda Elements with manual transmissions no less. In my experience it’s not easy to find Elements with manual transmissions.
In this video I do a full inspection on these new acquisitions. One of them has a bad engine unfortunately, but it should make for a nice video when I replace it.
Watch the video to learn about the other discoveries I made during my inspections.
Thanks for watching!

When doing differential pressure the piston needs to be at top dead center to check where the air is going or else one or both valves could be open,
@maingun07 3 жыл бұрын
That may explain why air was coming out of the #3 and 4 holes. I made a chart just to get things straight in my head: Firing Order: 1-3-4-2 1 end compression/begin power(TDC) [both valves closed] 2 end power/begin exhaust [exhaust opening] 3 end intake/begin compression [intake closing] 4 end exhaust/begin intake [exhaust closing and intake opening] 1 mid power [both valves closed] 2 mid exhaust [exhaust open] 3 mid compression [both valves closed] 4 mid intake [intake open] 1 end power/begin exhaust [exhaust opening] 2 end exhaust/begin intake [exhaust closing and intake opening] 3 end compression/begin power(TDC) [both valves closed] 4 end intake/begin compression [intake closing] 1 mid exhaust [exhaust open] 2 mid intake [intake open] 3 mid power [both valves closed] 4 mid compression [both valves closed] 1 end exhaust/begin intake [exhaust closing and intake opening] 2 end intake/begin compression [intake closing] 3 end power/begin exhaust [exhaust opening] 4 end compression/begin power(TDC) [both valves closed] 1 mid intake [intake open] 2 mid compression [both valves closed] 3 mid exhaust [exhaust open] 4 mid power [both valves closed] 1 end intake/begin compression [intake closing] 2 end compression/begin power(TDC) [both valves closed] 3 end exhaust/begin intake [exhaust closing and intake opening] 4 end power/begin exhaust [exhaust opening] 1 mid compression [both valves closed] 2 mid power [both valves closed] 3 mid intake [intake open] 4 mid exhaust [exhaust open] If the #1 was at TDC, the #2 exhaust valve is opening. Most of that air is going to go down the pipe, but the #4 exhaust valve is not quite closed and some will blow in there. Once in the #4, the air has only two ways out (not counting past the rings), out the plug hole (which Eric could hear) and out the just opening intake valve. Once in the intake, most will go out the air box, but some will go in the #3 as that intake is not quite closed yet, hence the quieter noise coming out of the #3 plug hole. If you see anything wrong, please chime in. I hate being wrong.

Eric, congratulations on a fine choice. I have an 05 E, also 4wd and 5-speed. Had it since last summer. 218,000 kms. Since COVID, I haven't been able to drive it around much. Couple of things I have recently learned through my ownership: 1) Get those aftermarket axles out of there. Aftermarket axles have no place in Elements! 2) For the OEM axles that are still installed, carefully inspect the shaft area under the harmonic balancer because dangerous rust builds up under there until the axle "necks down" and fails. Eric O of SMA has a great YT video of how an axle happened to snap from that cause on a Honda Civic. I think that there is a Honda Fit recall in the US for this safety issue.

Nice that you found 2 manual elements. I tow with my 2006 manual element. The manual means I can keep the rpms where they should be and never have the auto trans shifting back and forth. 260K and she is still running strong. I use a bit of oil but what old VTECs don't use oil. Looking forward to some more element fix up videos!

Hey Eric in regards to I believe the beige Element where you saw the oil leak near the oil filter/oil pan area; it could be the oil pressure sending unit that is leaking. In my 06 CRV it was leaking out of that and caused a similar oil leak. Replacing it fixed my leak issue. You’re replacing the engine so that should fix that issue lol. Thanks for the video. I love the Khaki color of the element.
