Hey Phillip, this video saved my RD1. Noticed some lost power and adjusted my valves, sure enough the exhaust valves on cylinders 2-4 were way too tight. But while doing this job, I found a serious gash in my timing belt. Belt was only 2.5 years/8k miles old and I wouldn't have even thought about replacing it any time soon. Doing this valve adjustment saved my engine in more ways than one. Just want to say thanks for all you do, you're my go-to guy for RD1 repairs!
I was nervous about doing this job, and was almost willing to spend the $$ to have a shop do it, but followed the video to a T and fixed my random misfire code for much cheaper. Thanks alot man!!
Heck yeah man
hey im also have misfires did you engine also shut off out of no were ?
Did mine today using this video, cam plug too. She idles much quieter now. You are a huge asset to the RD1 community! Subscribed!
Good deal!
You can tell this guy knows is Honda's, like what you doing
His Honda
@@jamestyndall529 I used talk-to-text sometimes I don't proofread
It literally started raining on me when it started raining on you in the video. I followed this all the way through for doing my valves on my 2001 crv. Thanks very much!
But in another video the adjustment was 008 for intake andr 012 for exhaust
@@PedroA518 I followed the video but also checked the sticker under the hood of course.
Best CRV repair channel around. Rebuilding one these days thanks to the help from these videos.. much appreciated !
Thank you
Phillip, absolutely right about not overtightening those nuts! The valve cover 10 mm nuts have a torque spec of just 86 inch-pounds (7.2 ft-lb), meaning just hand tight with a quarter inch drive ratchet.
Been a Honda lover since I bought 2 Honda Del Sols. His and Hers. Got my Daughter an old Accord that she drove all through high school and college. Years later and kid 5. A 2000 Civic D16y8. It is in the Garage now with a warped head. It is almost finished and looking nice with cleaned and painted everything. You my friend made me go buy a 1997 CR-V and it reminds me of my old Element but better on gas. I am going to restore it and probably watch a lot of you. Thanks, You do a great job explaining.
Awesome!
That's dedication, when he records even though it is raining, thanks for help mate, really helpful.
Glad to help
Doing this tonight and doing a Seafoam treatment into the intake. :) Thanks for all the helpful videos. You’ve helped me do my power window actuator and now this!
Heck yeah 👍
Must have watched this like 10 times. It looks easy enough, like leveling the bed of a 3D printer. But I'm still getting up the nerve to crack open my valve cover. I really hope its the OEM gasket.
You got this dude its honestly really easy i readjusted mine a few days ago i still got a little chatter so im going back at it today but this is a great vid for reference.
Can't say how much I appreciate these videos! About to tear my 01 apart thanks to these videos. Great stuff!!
Best of luck!
Great how to video. Perfect details of each step. I feel 100% confident I can do this. Thanks you!
Heck yeah!
@@hondaresourcecan you tell me how to make beeping stop when key is in ignition?
Just got a recementdation from the dealer after having them service the airbag recall to have the valves adjusted, I'm an average diy'er and having watched your video and maxed out at a valve gasket replacement on a focus, I feel confident in doing this diy and saving money for my family, thank you!
Awesome man 🤟
Bruh, you did this in the rain!? Beast 🤘 time to get ‘er done. Thanks for the vid, that’s as crystal clear as it’s gonna get.
I want to thank you for taking the time to do this video. Saved me a couple hundred bucks and she purs like a kitten. Great video.
I'm glad you found it helpful
Nice! I like the fact that you cover all of the little things. Great tips and an excellent tutorial! SUBSCRIBED!!
Thanks, glad to have you here!
The best tutorial video on YT!!! - THANK YOU
Thank you!
I love that valve tool I always just use a flat head and a 12mm wrench but after watching this I got a valve tool and now I’m forever spoiled thanks buddy great video love these crv’s
Definitely worth the money
Thanks for the great video, Phillip! You're the only person on RUclips right now (4-13-2022) who seems to know what they're doing on gen 1 CR-Vs. I've learned which valve adjustment tool and feeler gauges to buy and I think I can do it. I'm also replacing the valve cover gasket and tube seals. I don't remember if it was a Fel-Pro set I put in a few years ago. I'm about to tackle maintenance, starting with a valve adjustment and tune-up. I ended up replacing the PS pump. It was whining like crazy and leaking. I also need to replace the drive belts, front torque mounts, and timing belt and water pump soon. Those are due in 3,000 miles.
Thank you for the kind words!
Propped my phone up under the hood and did the job. EXCELLENT instructions, thank you very much. Runs like a top.
ALSO, I didn't know that it had a cabin filter lol the one l took out weighed about a pound and what a mess still in there. Cleaned it all out, MUCH better air flow. Great videos 👍👍
That's awesome. I'm glad you found my videos helpful
I just got my first Honda CRV and it's amazing how simple vehicles are to repair due to the condition the engine I know I'm going to be needing help and these videos are very helpful
Awesome! Good to have you here!
This channel is awesome man. Your stuff is very appreciated. 🙏
Thank you, I'm glad to have you here!
Youre the man. Looking forward to doing my wifes car this weekend. You have the best vids out of the ones on youtube that ive seen. Very clear and precise
Thank you
great vid,I did the rocker cover gasket today(it's reusable)so when I've time,due to this I think I will tackle the valve's :) cheers!!
Good deal!
Hi Phillips, i see your video and i can feel the power of the Honda Lovers, appreciate you for give us the trust for do it by ourselves!!
Thank you
Thanks in advance! Doing mine next week
I just picked up a 2000 rd1 a few weeks ago. Thank you for all your videos, they are priceless! just adjusted my valves and changed my timing belt/tensioner/water pump. she runs much better now.
Glad to help
Just did this job tonight. Followed your video step by step. I think it all worked out. Sure is finicky to do with a wrench and a screw driver. Have to get them all consistent. Wasn’t sure how much resistance is required with the right feeler, but I made them fit snug, and made sure the next size up feeler didn’t fit in. Sure seemed to make things much more quiet and got rid of some of the lag. Sure hope I did ok. Your video really helped. Thank you.
Sounds like you got it fixed up! Congrats man!
Thanks for sharing this! I’m a vintage vw gal, which means I’ve adjusted a few valves in my day lol but we have an older Honda that threw a “misfire and valve” code and check engine light popped on, you gave a very detailed and good description on what I need to do this weekend to get the job done! Thank you! New sub!
Thank you! My wife loves the buses!
Had an old VW bus but you can't go wrong with an old Honda
I appreciate your videos. Very educational and direct. Thanks dude!👍
Thanks man
Just bought a 98 with 195K , your Videos are very Helpful . I plan on doing the Valve cover gasket and this adjustment as well .
Thank you
@@hondaresource Hey , do you know where someone could buy the steering knuckle, with hub and bearing already assembled ?
Super no bs approach. Thank you.
Hope it helps you out 🤟
This video made an intimidating job easy and fun! I had a cylinder 3 misfire code, and when I got in there discovered that one of the exhaust lobes was making contact all the way around. No more CEL! Thanks!
Heck yeah! I'm glad it helped
Absolute best video on the internet showing how to adjust valves on a crv. Just did mine following your video and wow was it easy with your amazing instructions. The only thing I would add is to put a measuring stick down each cylinder as you’re trying to find TDC and the specific ft points to tighten the valve bolts. Took me 1.5 hours as all 16 were out of adjustment and double checked everything after I went through it once. Vehicle runs much better.
Glad to hear I helped you!
what would be the measurements for each cylinder?
@@menaceemceefiend9716 Valve Clearance Intake: 0.08 - 0.12mm (0.003 - 0.005 in) Exhaust: 0.16 - 0.20mm (0.006 - 0.008 in) These are maximums for both ways you want to be in the middle when you adjust them.
Good video you helped me out on my 2000 crv .
Thank you for ur great clear and precise instruction. It is very easy to follow along. One of the best.
Thank you, I'm glad you found it helpful
Good tutorial. I now feel prepared to adjust my '99CRV.
Glad it helped
Thank you for this video!!! You just saved my motor😂😂. One of the jam nuts on the rocker backed out completely and was laying inside the head.
oh wow
Best B20 valve lash video 💪🏼
Thank you!
One of the best informative videos I've seen. Just plain language anyone can understand.
Thank you
That's was a great video. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge!
Hope it helps you!
I just did mine. This video is really helpful
I'm glad it was useful!
Great video! Very thorough and concise.
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome video man you saved me alot of issues!
Glad to help
Just got done doing this to mine and wanted to say thank you, Phillip! Very clear explanation, and straight to the point. Had some exhaust valves that were getting pretty loose (9 thou). Got it running like a top now!
Good deal!
You have become my CRV tutor - I like the way you explain the process and sharing your knowledge to get the job done.
The engine sounds perfect after valve lash adjustment. I must say it took me a while since I want to rotate crank one more time to double check the clearance after the first adjustment. I used a box wench and a screw driver to do the job. I didn't replace valve gasket, the OEM rubber gasket was in good condition. I did clean and apply thin silicon RTV on the corners of the valve cover.
I also want to thank you for sharing your video on CRV window regulator assembly. You helped me on that one too! THANKS!!
I do have a question on my timing belt - I checked inside(curve) of timing belt each time when I rotated the crank for valve adjustment. I did not see any wear or tear after 100,000 miles' driving- I replaced at Honda dealership when it was 200,000 miles many years ago. My current CRV mileage - 301,443. I know it is due for replacement but the condition of the OEM belt just too good. You comment is greatly appreciated. Love your channel!!!
Just run it, I've never had one bebe valves when the belt breaks.
@@hondaresource Thanks for your reply. I appreciate your input.
Great content like always, thanks for sharing sir. Blessings
I think it helps the instructional quality of the video significantly when the camera is mounted (or held by someone else) while the mechanic is using BOTH hands to do the actual repair! Thank you.
Very straightforward thank you
Great demo, very much appreciated, thank you
Thank you
NICE VIDEO I SAW U IN THE FB GROUP THANKS AGAIN
I almost done thanks again for you video man
I thought you were BJ Penn for a second, but youre the cooler one - you got the CRV
Ha, thanks!
GREAT VIDEO. I HAVE OTHER THINGS TO FIX BUT ILL WILL BE USING THIS VIDEO.
Very straightforward 💯👌🏽
I'm glad you found it helpful
Great video & Just myself a crv helps alot 👍
Great to hear!
Thank you great explanation it was helpful 👍
Thanks, great info for my kids 98 CRV
Glad it was helpful!
DUDE! Thank you so much! Very detailed and to the point.
Glad it helped!
Great video thanks for the knowledge
Thanks for this video... definitely helped me out
Glad it helped
Thank you!! 🍻🫡
i will be doing this soon thank you.
Thanks good advice helped me alot
thanks for the video made lashing the valves td a lot easier
Glad to hear it man!
@@hondaresource yea bro shes running good, just put an intake and made a custom axle back exhaust so i figured i needed to do some maintenance stuff
I spy a Speedfactory FMIC.
Thanks for the straightforward tutorial - just adjusted these on a CR-V throwing a P1399.
yeah. she's a beast!
Great video!!! Thanks for the information!!!!
Thank you
Great video, thorough and informative. I check the valve lash before I loosen the nut. If it's within specs, I don't touch it. Also, I use a box wrench and a screw driver instead of the valve adjustment tool.
Good deal
Great video!!! 👍 and subscribed
Hopefully a good bit of RD1 content coming soon!
Thanks it helped me a lot.
Awesome 🤟
Thanks for the informational video, you were very helpful. Did my daughters 99 crv exhaust valve adjustment today. The P030x codes are not being thrown now. A few of the cams would not adjust within spec. Spec says 0.18 +/- 0.02 mm, and I could not get 0.16mm to fit with the screw all the way out. But considering I backed the screw out several turns each valve, they were WAY too tight. I now have a bit more valve noise than before, which I'm hoping is ok for a car with 230,000 miles.
Very educational and helpful. Thanks friend. 👍 Subscribed
Thank you, glad to have you here
Solid diy . Ty kind sir
Thank you!
Nice man. That has helped me an eff-load. I'm planning on doing this REAL dang soon. I just have always wondered about yanking the head parts off of my stuff, but this seems stupid easy. I have the feeler guage, and that's basically the only the must have tool for this other than to advance the pistons, so hopefully it will be a breeze if I don't drop a socket into the head.. 😂
You got this man 🤟
I'm a simple man, Phillip pops into my autoplay, I click like.
Thank you! Much love!
Very good video I have a 2001 CRV with 70000 miles and the check engine light came on with a slight missfire this is a big help
Hopefully it gets you fixed up
Anybody out there had any problems aligning the rear end I have replace all the suspension components Goodyear has done it twice they still not can't fix it it wears the tires out fast has anybody had any problems could wheel bearings because of this any advice would be great thank you
thank you!
Good stuff
Thank you for this. I subbed because I'm a diy typa guy and just got a rd1 crv.
What are the indicators of needing this done besides the every 30k do it.
I have a slight ticking when cold starting my b20z. It immediately stops after running. 3 seconds of noise then smooth. Thanks in advance
Thank you very very help full!! 👍🏾
Thank you🤟
Good job showing how to do this
thank you
good job thank you
Found you via Facebook - howdy! I went ahead and bought a new valve cover gasket with spark plug tube seals and grommets. Also got a can of red hi-temp spray paint for the valve cover, and all the tools. Temp is supposed to be above 70F on Thursday so that's when I'm planning to do this.
Heck yeah man!
@@hondaresource Did it Thursday, got the cover painted. All intakes were loose. All exhausts were a little tight, but the exhaust valve closer to the dist on cylinders 2 and 4 were both really tight. The one on 2 took over a half turn to loosen it up so the feeler gauge would go in, and the one on 4 took over a full turn.I've put close to 100 miles on it since doing the job, no CEL. Before, after clearing codes I couldn't get 5 miles down the road before the CEL came on with P0302 and/or P0304
I’m doing this tomorrow
You're awesome! Thank you!
Thank you
Hi. Thank you for the Video. One Q. Those 12mm jam nut on each cylinder, How hard do you torqu down jam nut? Is there a torque spec? Do you just tighten with your hand by feel? How hard?
Thank you for the great guide! Got it done smoothly with your help. One last thing, do you have to retorque the crankshaft pully bolt to 130?
Na, you aren't loosening it
@@hondaresource got it! thank you!
Hi philip, what is the valve lash clearance intake and exhaust for b20 non vtec?
Thanks for the video. I also wanted to replace the camshafts ent plug. The tabs on of 2 of the legs on the cam plug broke off and fell inside the bore when when prying removing it it. Is there a problem with leaving them in there (possibility of clogging oil drain passages) or should I remove the bearing cap and them out ?
You can take the valve cover off and remove them. No need to remove the cam cap. Just use a napkin to absorb the oil beneath the cam cap once you remove the valve cover.
I did a lash adjustment last night, exhaust side was so tight .007 wouldn’t even fit in. Adjusted to where there was a slight bit of drag but now I’m getting chatter. Sounds like maybe I need to readjust them to be a smidge tighter?
Bro thank you
You're welcome
Thanks a lots!
You're welcome!
searched to watch how to do this so im not going blind last year when i got my b20b jdm swap done and i gave up but im doing this asap now, done it on my dirt bike so it shouldnt be too hard
You got this man 🤟
Valve lash is the #1 Killer of 1st Gen CRVs. The Exhaust end up burnt through and a new head is needed.
Also kills valve seals, making you think you need a rebuild.
Would a valve adjustment cause misfires? I have po300,302,304,p1399
Just did the valve lash on my 99 RD1 thanks to this video!! No more clicking at low speed and low rpms!! I now have a kind of off topic question though. When doing this job, I thought I would replace the PCV Valve. Recently I’ve been seeing a lot of videos of Oil Catch Cans and how they help out a lot. Would it be necessary to put one on? The job seems easy but would there be a good benefit to having one? Thank you for this awesome video and thank you for reading this!
I don't see a use for a catch can on a stock motor application. Pcv valve replacement is very simple on these
Is a new valve cover gasket needed for this job if my existing one isn’t leaking atm?
I rarely comment … today on my 97 crv did the valve adjustment and follow your video step by step …. Exhaust side were way to tight and my car has over 220,000 miles but my motor has always been quiet …even quieter now and feels great with this ….my only big scare due to my human error was that tool you use for adjustment is no longer available, more specifically the 12mm size so I use a 12mm wrench and screw driver and when loosening the nut the valve rocker came off… luckily nothing broke just slipped off and was able to use a wooden rod to push exhaust valve down and slip it back in and double checked and turned the engine over with my ratchet after placement and what a relief… bloody hands but feeling satisfied… thank you for this video really helped and hopefully making my crv get a few more miles on
Heck yeah man!
the valve rocker came off? is this normal to happen? just loosened it up too much? hope i dont run into that as well
@@menaceemceefiend9716 when tightening my hand slipped and valve rocker came off…held in by pressure of valve springs I was able to push it back in… it only happened to one …if your careful you will avoid my error
@@menaceemceefiend9716 it happens from time to time
@@hondaresource Have you ever dealt with a crv that made a high pitched noise starting around 40 mph and when going faster the noise went along with the speed? The noise sounds like its coming from the right front side of the crv..
Just bought a HONDA CRV 99 with 200,000 kms on it yesterday. Thanks for the help! Any quick tips, suggestions or comments are welcome. Thanks alot
They are pretty good rides. Just adjust the valves 🤣
