This is honestly one of the most Honda-driver things I’ve ever seen 💀 homeboy did NOT hesitate to start fixing that head gasket. Mad respect tbh

You have to respect that he already came with the tools necessary to change, most motherfuckers would open the hood and just stare it

I'm mostly amazed at how he is working on the engine barehands while its still hot as fuuuck.

The legendary field mechanic. The hero that makes cars finish and win really championships or saves vehicles and crews in the battlefield, but nobody talks about...

Dude takes care of business and pays no attention to the “experts” just talking shit . Respect

Call this kid a ricer all you want... But at least he knows how to work on his own damn car, unlike the hotshot in the $200,000 RocketBunny GT-R who doesn't even know how to change a tire...

I got nothing but respect for this man.Most people buy "customized" rides already customized.I told myself along time ago if I ever hit switches on a lowrider it will be built by me from scratch.I'm still watching Scotty Kilmer videos and learning,GOD Bless you all

When you watch Chris Fix it VIdeos

At least he actually works on his own car unlike 75% of "tuners" who pay other people to do it

I was ready to sit here for an hour or two and watch the man go at it. :(

Subie owner blows head gasket pulls engine jack out of trunk lol

Most kids his age would be crying and calling mommy and daddy. This kid is the man. Rolled up his sleeves and gotr done. Impressive. Wish more kids learn hands on skills.

It's amazing how much you can actually do on a Honda with only a 10mm, 14mm, and a screwdriver

I have high respect for someone who knows their car. A lot of people have their work done for them. This guy is a true car enthusiast.

Kudos to this kid for being able to work on his car,the rest of those “mechanics” would have just called mommy and daddy or a tow truck

Think he even painted the car in the parking lot.

I love how all the "experts" are talking in the background and he mostly ignores them and keeps working.

This guy has dedication. How many of those guys watching him could fix the gasket on the spot?

I remember watching this back around 2012 and was blown away by this. Nowdays I'm still impressed because now I have Hondas and I may be quick with a d series or f series sohc while its cold but this dude is amazing for being able to do all that while its piping hot.

I love the feeling he has when he knows how everything works and comes apart. Great experience

What a legend. My car has been in the garage for 3 weeks because I'm mentally preparing myself

good for him..most kids his age would be on the cellphone to mommy to borrow a credit card for a tow truck..self sufficient and has the ability to do a quick temp repair to get himself home..of course its not the right way but if it works for a while till he can setup the time and resources to do it right than I call it a win..Hes obviously been watching Roadkill on youtube and its madness is rubbing off

I dont understand these comments. Doing head job a b series integra is cake walk. Not hard at all... But why would you do it in parking lot/ track meet, without checking to see if the block or head warped. With the amount of smoke I saw coming from under the hood, it definitely warped something. That's a half ass job and it'll only happen again. Plus, you've got to replace the head bolts and do a valve job. Again... why would you do that in a parking lot, unless it was your only way home. Granted, I ended up doing the master ase tech grind for several years... But even before that, back in my younger (now ancient) high-school & early college days when i was into the whole tuning/import scene; i remember how my buddies and i used to rebuild heads, do motor swaps, b20 vtec/K series/h series swaps, and full builds in the driveway or by the side of the street near our house parked on jack stands... Ah memories. I feel like back then, because the import scene was still new and developing into what its become today, that a lot more people who were into the scene back then were more accustomed to wrenching on their cars and finding the best new way to make a little extra power. Call it Nostalgia, but back then there was a certain pride that went along w/ learning how to do it yourself and getting in there with your hands and seeing the results of what you built... As opposed to bragging about what you bought like how its become today. Its awesome to see that old school ideal still being kept alive. Regardless, how this kid did the head job, its fantastic to see him wiling to get down and dirty and fix it himself. I always believed that if you wanna have fun with that gas pedal, learn how everything on the end of it works and how to fix it.

I like how everyone is amazed at the most simplest thing on earth, he knows what he's doing big deal lmao

We cant call this guy a ricer. He actually knows how to work on a engine

What a Tease, I was ready to see the whole video.

He got that skill but not that money. So for those of you who called him ricer. Get a life

It's awesome that he knows how to do it and that he had the tools to do it on the spot. All that aside, I wouldn't recommend changing a head gasket on a hot engine. Especially if it's an aluminum block and aluminum heads.

Those smart guys commenting probably can't even turn a wrench.

no need to hate really.. i drive an STi and have had hondas before.. sure it sucks that his shit blew out, but at least he has the confidence and know how to fix it to get him home. Most the ppl on here woulda had to have mommy call a tow truck to get their car to the mechanic. plus thats one of the nice things about hondas.. everything is right there, easy to get to. it's his car in the end, so dunno why anyone needs to bash the dude.

No one is built like this anymore. He defines the “Built not bought” slogan. Legend!

Real man would have done it with the engine running.....

Legend is, he's still there fixing it till this day

This actually makes me happy to see. Young man knows his car. Good on you.

love how he just pays no one any mind and just does his shitt.. i respect that so much

I love how all his cam cap bolts are all hand tight 😂 same probably goes for the head bolts , no wonder the headgasket blew lol

looks like he's done this a couple times

Not a Honda fan really. But have to give this guy some credit for just saying "fuck it, I'll do this shit right NOW" lol. And for you haters, keep on just putting gas in your car and not knowing how the combustion engine even works.

Respect to u bro..u know ur beast...not like others outside just talking like the r king of tuners...salute...

He's got my respect. Any carguy who truly loves his car and what it brings knows what I mean

Now that's a hot swap...

Most of the people bitching about it being a honda more than likely don't even own a car in general, or have a drivers license either.

I think it's funny that this came up on my KZfaq suggestions... In 2023. 😂😂

10 years later this is still impressive

I changed my own tire one time, beat that.

I love all these 14 year old forza motorsport playing fanboys running their mouths when they've never taken a wrench to a car and probably never will lol

Ive seen this video many times and always wondered what type of person would do this, 11 years later, i got the answer, my brother is this crazy lmaoo

This is motivation you get when this is your only ride home

These guts laughing at him for fixing his own car . But hey atleast he can

Based on how shitty that Integra looks I'm going to go out on a limb and say it wasn't put together properly in the first place.

I once changed a sump gasket and water pump on a Mk1 Cortina GT engine in the hold of a ferry from Spain to Morocco in total darkness, with only a borrowed AAA keyring-torch to illuminate the proceedings. I admire this guy... sometimes there is NO other option. BRAVO... hope he made it home... He must have a hot date... There is no other reason for working this fast.

I love how he used a fishing tackle box as a tool box, you know this dude is resourceful.

We don't know if this kid actually finished or towed the car away. Fucker could have had a great video for how to change a head gasket out on the road but instead I wasted my time watching a guy remove some screws.

now me and the mad scientist have to go in there and replace the piston rings u blew.

Why are the "experts" around him even talking shit? He's doing it and clearly knows what he's doing

I got mad respect for a guy is willing to warp his head as soon as he pulls those head bolts

overnight parts from japan couldnt even fix this lol.

Ricer this ricer that... Who gives a shitt. If that kid puts on a fart can or a GT wing spoiler on his civic.... His loss not yours lol. Weird guys on here

It s a weird flex like being able to change all your house light bulbs every week, the real question is why and why not solve the problem instead 😂

I ate a whole pack of English muffins while I was on my way to meet my parents for breakfast

Dudes probably got like 900lbs of spare parts and tools lol

Anyone who actually knows what the fuck there doing knows that he's doing it correctly....well the fast way anyways. And about starting with the belt.....you can reach the timing belt tensioner from the side through the cover with out removing anything. 1) Set TDC or mark belt and cam gears. 2) Valve cover 3) Remove cams 4) Disconnect everything from intake manifold. 5) Remove head and intake together. 6) Clean block replace gasket ....2 hours later RIDE.

"Now me and the mad scientist have to rebuild the piston rings you fried!" This guy, "Hell no, I'ma do it myself!"

Legend. Mad respect.

He replaces one after every time he drives the car.

At least he works on his own car...Unlike most of the people there.

He was probably running Nitrous. This is the newer 96 body style Integra. I've owned Hondas my whole life, including the 1990 Integra. With this engine. It was a great engine in my opinion. It produced tons of power if tweaked right. If you treat them right, they treat you right & I tore that thing up. I went through transmissions more than the engine. Never had to do much to the internals of the engine, other than change the timing belt. Do tuneups and oil changes. The only problem with the 5 speed manual trans in these were the differential. It had a spider gear with pin type. That pin would wear out the gear and throw itself out, ripping the trans housing in half while locking up the front wheels. lol. This was later resolved with the Helical Differential. Solid, no space in between gears or open case. No pin to shear and rip the trans appart. After that, I really didn't race it, I used it to work on cars on the road. I pulled a trailer behind the car, loaded with my tools. I had air, a ground lift. Everything I needed to pull the entire drivetrain out if needed. And this Integra pulled that stuff with NO problem. Even on long distances for filling in at a Acura dealer in another city. Not just Hondas. Everything. Now, I work in computers & drones. A lot of electronics. It's a much cleaner environment and not as hard on the body. Working on cars is not an easy job.

Phone > tripod > best repair video that could have existed on yt

To all those saying that this kid deserves to be respected because hes fixing his car while everyone else stand around and watches you should pay attention. First off look at the camshaft caps, half of them are only held on by one bolt, while the other is completely missing and there is no need to pull the cams in the first place. When he pulls the valve cover his oil is smoking indicating that it overheated big time, pulling the head while its hot is without a doubt going to cause it to warp and his new gasket is not going to do anything at all.

Let's all stand and watch...Sheesh...help the guy!

Just so everyone knows. This is my generation right here! Notice the Hollister shirt lol😂 This has to be back in the early 2000s. That’s a man that knows how to get it done.

Had a friend in HS in the 70's who's dad owned an industrial turbo rebuilding shop. This guy would drive his mom's Plymouth Duster w/ straight six motor to school and back. One weekend he "borrowed" a small turbo from his dad's shop and cobbled it onto the Duster. No waste gate. He spent the next several lunch hours racing guys with muscle cars from light to light. He would bring a handful of pushrods along to replace the bent ones before he drove home after school. He pushed a rod through the side of the block eventually. Fun while it lasted though.

Did anyone else notice that every other camshaft cap bolt was broke off? If say that isn't his first rodeo with the head gasket, bad thing is that it prolly keeps blowing because he isn't using new tty head bolts and I'm sure the head has been warped for a long time and he hasn't taken it to a machine shop to be shaved so this will inevitably happen again

i want the whole vid

Give this kid some props man!….probably has all the necessary gaskets in his trunk…100% youngster!!…. kids nowadays would call their mom to get a tow truck…

Instead of just calling his dad to get a tow, this young man made things worse by tearing his engine apart on the lot to save face. There’s no shame in asking for help.

I love seeing Honda's blow up, I don't know why but I get a little kick out of it.

So why does it cost like $2000 to have this done by a mechanic?

That's no kid! That's the REAL MAN fixing his car on the spot while the kids watching! I bet half of them don't even know how to

Legend says, he fixed it in 5 mins and still beat the other toddlers to the car meet.

How come he drives around with a spare head gasket and all the tools to change it?

Thats a REAL HotRodder, fix it on the spot no matter when or where. Hats off to ya arbachu not many of us left doing things the old ways.

Nothing but respect for this cat, go ahead and shine. Fuck the haters

KZfaq algorithm brought me here 12 years later. Just now seeing this in 2022.

Honda is a very reliable car so what the fuck are u people on about saying it is a shit motor

if he still went home with it I give him mad props cuz most of these car people won't be able to do what he doing

Some say hes still changing out thay head gasket till this day

(Pulls a few bolts) “Yooo respect kid, everyone else is just hating bro” Only people giving this man respect are untrained eyes that see a guy with tools pulling bolts. Those same people have a hard time swapping a battery, let alone doing an oil change.

Yea very enthusiastic but probably will blow another without resurfacing the head. End of the day he still gets his car home this way.

Reminded me of my dad with his truck always Under the hood doing it himself!Miss the good old days 😟

Now that's a trooper.. No hesitation, no complaining, just determination and action..

Built not bought! Real boss ! Respect the man

I love it, everyone else was standing around talking their intelligent nonsense and this kid jumps in to do a major engine job before the fresh steam even clears. THat is the no nonsense way to do it.

I hope he brought a machine shop with him to resurface the head with...

11 years later, I’m still watching telling people how dope this kid is lmao!!

nobody can say he isn’t a gear head now🤣 HE HOLDS THE TITLE

legend says he's still in the parking lot changing his head gasket. 😂

Shocking, a Honda with a blown head gasket

awsome job mate there are a handful of man left in this world that can work on there own rig

I like how everyone comes out and they all just stand there instead of helping him.
