    This pivot bolt, was made be the mf’n Cenobites. I’m serious.

      @@GTSam I got it out! Looks like the trick may be to heat the back of the bolt carrier, in the block. Heating the face of the bolt is pointless as there are no threads underneath the head. If you gently heat where the bolt runs behind the water pump with a propane torch, you should eventually break the galvanic bond/corrosion between the iron bolt and the aluminum engine block. I quite literally heard the threads let out that distinctive "ping" several times as the heat transferred through the block and bolt. Penetrating oil didn't seem to make a difference because there's no real threads for it it creep along: and I use Kroil, which is wild good stuff.

    Honda tech here - Looks like the serpentine belt was old and failed causing the belt to shred hitting/cutting the power steering hose. Also a super common issue with all J series engines is a leaking oil pump. When showing the crank with the car lifted it looks like it’s been leaking for some time - it’s a labor intensive job but can be done if you are planning to install a new timing belt kit. It also seems like you scored getting a j37a1 as it does not have piston ring issues that some j series have from 2005-2017. Overall pretty reliable cars if serviced well.

      @@GTSam You are correct that the j32 and j37 and similar yet different. Same j series of engine but of course different displacement, with similar performance oriented engineering. The j32 was much more powerful than the j30 of the time, had vtec engage at lower rpms, and the j37 is the most powerful NA v6 Honda has made. When you showed your old belt it showed it was torn up - I bet it was partially broken was flinging the edges/flaps tearing/removing the power steering pump hose. And yes, with the oil pump there is a gasket above the crankshaft seal that is behind the pump housing itself that goes onto the block that gets hard, brittle and flat. I’d replace the oil filter base gasket, crank-seal, oil pickup tube o-ring, the oil pump gasket, and 2 tubes of Honda-bond for resealing the pump outer edges and the oil pan. I’d also recommend an aisin timing belt kit as Honda uses them as oem but rebrands it as Honda ($200 versus $5-700 for “oem” at Honda/acura).

    so did these have more bass that stock ones? i changed to some other speakers and lost 90% of the bass

      Oof, no fun. These do really well for me, I'd say. If you EQ your phone and/or have a manual bass and treble control on a Bluetooth device for your system and crank it, it sounds good.

    Hey how’s this holding up 9 months later? I had a cheap aftermarket OEM style last about 3-4 years in the rust belt.. willing to go even cheaper and more race car to get a few more months out of my rusty civic😅

      My exhaust is great but the rest of the car is rusting! 😅 Already had the quarter panel repaired but slowly more is rusting out.

      Ahh sorry to hear that but glad you’re able to make some repairs, my Civic is waaay too far gone with the rust. I still appreciate the info on the exhaust. I think I will give it a go. Nice work in the video, btw👍

      Hey man, I went the responsible dad route and bought a Walker (PN 48344) Intermediate pipe w/ resonator that's actually a one piece design like Honda OEM, (unlike the last aftermarket 2-piece I had fail on me). It was surpassingly only $124.21 with hardware/ donut ordering online from the local Advance/ Carquest.. Not as fun as the race car exhaust but I was able to get the project wrapped up next day before a road trip and it should help me sell the Rusty Civic soon with it sounding nice and factory again.. I was lucky my OEM- style muffler that came with the last set I bought is stainless and holding up alright. I also replaced the front pipe (under the engine) a few months ago. I'd still 100% consider the eBay racing exhaust if I get another 8th Gen Civic, especially a manual. Keep up the cool content, brother! @@GTSam​

      Weirdly, no. Hot but not overheat. So, think about it like the hot air is restricted and can't go anywhere so it's getting backed up into the engine and making it hotter.
