Final torque sequence is 5ft lbs for anybody who’s wondering.

This is by leaps and bounds the best way to make a how to video. Thank you, you're amazing.

Straight to the point no unnecessary chit chat. 👍🏼

FYI, the 9th gen 2015-2017 Honda Accords do not have the screw in type spark plug tube seals. The tube seals are pressed into the valve cover. So, if the tube seals get hard or leak you will have to buy a new valve cover. This video applies only to the 2013-2014 9th generation Honda Accords.

Holy crap! 6 minutes to make this vid is impressive! I was going to make a video on this myself, but decided to take the car into a dealership since I'm due for a valve adjustment (currently @ 138,000mi.) Getting quoted $450 for a valve cover gasket & a valve adjustment. Not the cheapest price but the valve adjustment requires more special tools and expertise than I have Thanks again for the content

This is by far the best auto how to video I’ve ever watched. Thank you. Hope you continue making them because you do a damn good job and help a lot of people!

What an amazing video! I Donate vehicles to people in need and I have a super nice low mileage accord that was leaking. This video was spot on. As someone with big hands it was difficult to get the back connection off as my car had the plastic housing loose. I just undid the alternator wires (12mm socket), and the 3 connectors for that harness and I was able to move everything out of the way. Thanks for making this great video and for it being so time efficient.

2013 Honda Accord LX , Followed the video exactly and all went perfect … excellent video !

A lot of times these valve cover gaskets leak on these engines because of a failed PCV valve. Change that out as well after changing the valve cover gasket.

Excellent video ! Thanks, plus this actually saved me a few hundred that probably would've taken longer had i let a mechanic dealt with it.

Amazing video and very professional!!! Getting ready to do this service to my 2016 Accord. Thanks for the excellent video!!! 👍🏻

This video is very helpful. My dealer wants $300 to replace this (with me providing the gasket)

Just finishing up with my sista 2013 Accord. Thanks for the guidance!!!

Great video! To-the-point information with no unnecessary chatter. Video showed need to know information to include precautions to prevent mistakes. This video sets the example for KZfaq how-to videos.

Thanks for making one of the best “how to” videos out there. Can’t wait to tackle my seepage !

You have a passion with the work you do.

Wow great video. Just swapped my plugs out 2013 2.4l and noticed oil in the #2. Thanks for the vid !!

Best explained video on the web. Thank you very much. You’re a real teacher

Thank you for the time you put into this video. Made this process very easy.

Thanks for this video! I’ve changed quite a few valve cover gaskets but I found this video extremely helpful in locating what sensors to unclip. The one on the far right that is discussed around 1:20 is definitely a bear to remove and was honestly the most difficult part of this job.

I think I love this dude. The other guy made this video 25 min

Thanks and good job on this, simple instruction and direct. Some just like to hear themselves talk. Goin g to tackle it now. I rebuilt engines for 30 years '77-'07 but all these clips and hand traps get me. Thanks again

thank you lots. Noticing oil at the base of the outside head gasket. Car has 158,000 miles so its time.

Such a great video, Straight to the point. Thank you!!

Thanks for the vid. Did this to my daily today. I hope it fixes the crazy amount of oil my engine leaks all over itself haha.

k24 have two different gaskets, late 2013 is earth dream, the spark plugs o-rings are bolt on T20, early models not ,look under the coil before buy !

Nice clean and straight to the point video. Thank you and will subscribe to add to my toolbox.

Nice! Quick and to the point.

Nice quick detailed video brotha

Part number for 2013 and 2014 (maybe others too?) with the 2.4 i4 is 12030-5A2-A01 and can be ordered at your local honda dealer for around $74

I recommend sense your right there for another $50-60 not a bad time to replace your spark plugs!! Most likely if your valve cover gasket gasket s leaking your plugs are prob at that point where replacing them isn’t a bad idea!! I always replace everything I can that is in same area as the job your in there for.. nothing like a new set of fresh NGK plugs !!

awesome video, very helpful and to the point! i appreciate you making this man! bravo

Well made video. What is the purpose of the little squarish grommet gasket on the middle of the cover? It looks like it communicates with a port going down the block.

Best DIY vid since sliced bread

Would be awesome if you included parts numbers and such

Hi, just found your channel, nice quick and clean. Just bought a 17 Accord coupe with very low mileage from a Honda dealer, car runs very well and smooth, after taking her home, I did a very close inspection on the engine block, I saw small amount of gunk on engine block corner beneath the plastic cover. I am sure there is a small seepages. I know it is a fairly easy fix but I am surprised to see such a new car already has gasket issue.

Good video guy im like u i just use common sense when tightning anything & it works everytime. Appreciate the video

Thank you for sharing it. It really helps 👍

Great video to the point no bs

Wonder how much a repair shop should charge customers to change the valve cover gasket on a 2016 Accord? Just making sure they aren't overcharging me. They quoted me $350 for parts and labor. Is this accurate? Thanks. Just hard to trust dealers too sometimes, cause my wife took her car to get inspected and dealer said she needed to replace 1 headlight bulb and they charged her $80-90 to do it before they would pass inspection. They duped her pretty good IMO, so wasn't too happy about that.

I have been searching the entire internet for a video regarding this type engine because all the other videos had older version engine and the configuration is kinda different. You mentioned a link to everything you need to perform this job however I see no link. Help please and thanks for this video. Very helpful.

Damn I was curious to see if I should just do this replacement myself. Just going to pay my mechanic 😂

Hey man thanks for the Video where did get the gasket kit with all extra seal for the sparks, because Honda is selling me only the head seal gasket but not the spark gasket

Video was just perfect!!!

Hey what an amazing video and for the description of parts and tool I can't find it. Kindly put them on the comment below. Thank you.

Short n sweet 👍🏻

I removed all wiring from the alternator and it gave me enough room to pull back coils etc

I didnt have a torque wrench but did the "star" pattern started on the outside in and got them tight nothing crazy but there probably on there with 15-25pounds is that fine i have 9 damage should i loosen them up a lil??

Thanks

WYH my valve cover doesn't have bolts for the spark plug seals

Damn those cams are scored

Hello, thank you for the video. I did have one question, the black plastic cover dressing, over the coils has two stripped screws. My question is, what do you think is the best route for me to take that off. I planned on just replacing the whole valve cover, but of course i need that cover to be off in order to access the plugs and sensors. Thanks again.

Thanks for making this video. I have leaking head gasket. Is it worth fixing it? Can I live with the problem by keeping an eye on the oil level?

Best video bro thanks

I see seeps of kinda oil and sands mixture at bottom right corner, where the silicone is applied. Do you think I should swap out the whole gasket and re-seal with silicone? I just bought my 2.4, and it is at around 35000 miles.

After I finished my power steering light, traction control , and tire pressure light was on. Does anyone know what it could be?

Holy fuck I wish more videos were like this

What was the part# for the gaskets?

Nice video! Thanks for taking time to document all this work. I plan on doing mine next month. Two quick questions: Is removing that connector in the very back corner (right at timestamp 1:20) necessary? What the heck is a "blow wand"?

Did you have to relearn the throttle body with th scanner? And did you first drain the oil?

great video. I ended up stripping one of my front bolts. hopefully it still holds. I didn't go over 5 foot lbs.

Do you recommend changing the spark plugs while doing valve cover gasket?

can you help me find the actual bolt name on this @0:21 what happen is that i changed my sparkplugs and coil and i was almost finishing up everything then i accidently dropped those 3 bolts down there next to washier fluid tank and i was able to retrieve on but the two i cant find it. Now im missing two bolts for the cover and i want to replace but i cant them specifically online. Appreciate your feedback thanks

Does the sub model matter? Or does this apply to all models of accord?

What happen if a piece of silicone goes throw the lubrication hole?

maintenance work on this car is a dream LOL compared to a VW or something... :/

Where can I find that RTV sealant? Or can I use that silicone you showed after?

Serious question? Would hurt to put gasket sealant all around the whole valve body ?

🙏

How much did the gasket set cost ya.

Hey, I got a P0507 code after this, did anybody else get this? Everything is reconnected. The light comes and goes.

Is it the same engine in crv 2.4?

WHAT WAS THE FINAL TORQUE PATTERN AND WHAT IS THE FINAL TORQUE ???

I accidentally dropped a small rtv inside the engine. Maybe an inch long, but sort of skinny. Would I be okay??

Is it recommended to install new gaskets if the valve cover is removed, if the factory gasket isn't leaking?

At 1:23, what is that plug?

how are these amazon valve cover gaskets? Reliable?

Where you buy the kit ?

Honda dealer told me to replace this excapt part wpuld cost 3 to 4k cuz they have to remove the transmission 🤨 i watched this video 3 times and havent seen u take the transmission out so maybe im trippi

what is ur fee for this work? & locale? ty

do you have to get the valves at top dead center or no?

What grease did you use on the spark plug gasket?

Where do you live maybe yo can do the same job with my car.

Why would a valve cover gasket leak in the 1st place ?

Wtf. I don't have screw hole for my spark plug seals

This video is about 6 minutes. How much does it take the entire process to be done by a nonprofessional mechanic like me?

Worldpac parts 😅

he skipped a bunch of important things. what about the a/c electrical plug? mechanic my azz. thumbs down.

Where are the links to the "parts"??

Thanks
