Very interesting. No matter where you work someone else is always going to try to pass the buck. 😂 That is one of the cleanest I have seen on RUclips, barely any varnish. If oil changes can’t prevent it, it’s just a feature. In my condo garage, I know the Accord and Corolla S behind me both have very loud rattles. One thing, do you know if the new style VTC actuator is less prone to rattle?
Often the 2015-2020 Fits rattle is due to a weakened VTC actuator locking pin spring. Replacing the spring with a new one designed for the actuator usually resolves the rattle.
I have done a second VTC on the early 2011 k24 motor in a CRV. But have to really wait and see after some mileage gets put on them and checking history if they have been done before.
Your vehicle maintenance reminder will tell you when you reach that mileage. Typically if your due for an oil change it'll be either an A, B or 0. And then corresponding numbers for what service. At a 100k your sub symbol 4 for spark plug valve adjustment you will get a new valve cover gasket along with it. Sub symbol 5 for coolant. And any other service that can show up depending on when you had done the other service or the last time they had been reset.
@@theoffroadingmechanic is it still cover my my dealer? when i hit 100k on those valve cover and gasket? you are very active thank you sorry i want to learn more about my car and it seems i see your video very nice profesinal jobs and your very kind to answer i do all my liquids change my help dont have garage i do it on road clean throttle body every year rusft proff but some advance mechanical things im still not doing it i dont know were to find the wiring diaggram i saw your vid were u get them but you need to pay can u pay one time fee or monthly.time to time will ask your advice because your a very nice mehcanic and active
You are not kidding with vtc actuators going out.thank you for the video.
Nope. I'm also waiting for an HVAC unit for a prologue to come in. GM products....
Great video man I love these but make sure you take out the oil dip stick so you don’t forget to add oil when you come back
2020 has VTC actuator rattle? That is odd. Thank you for sharing your experience.
It has to be on purpose. Honda is making too much money selling these parts
How does a manufacturer durability test an engine to death soon as it hits production vtc actuators start having issues how
They don't... The real durability test are the consumers.
Enjoyed the video

The 1.5t, 2.0 don't rattle or I havent had anyone complain about rattles and all the new stuff for 2025 have gone electronic variable valve timing.

Hey H tech! - my tech is wondering do the 1.5 turbo engines on the newer CRV have any timing / timing chain issues?
I've done quite a few of them. Cam and crank correlation.
It is insane that Hondas still have thee issues. Is the replacement any better or will this still come back again?

what do i look for on hrv 2020 when it hits 100k miles ?

one of the most frustrating videos i've ever watched. too much chit-chat. just get to the job.
I’m 5mins into the video, and I couldn’t agree more.
Just get to the fix. I don’t need all the chit-chat.
