That's the difference between talking to and talking down. Ray's hat still fits his head perfect, the proof is in the subscriptions. Simply put, he's relatable
Ray & @Southmainauto are both really good at the way they talk to you while teaching at a level most people can comprehend. I think both would make great instructors. Plus, they both seem to have a great moral compass.
As a non-mechanic I am watching and wondering exactly what RTV is when you immediately tell me "Room Temperature Vulcanising "........this is why I am addicted to watching ! :-)
You say boring but for all those who faithfully follow, we find this work very informative and certainly appreciate your attention to detail. Great job !
Ray you may say boring for us to watch you install rtv but there are those of us that learn from watching different methods of putting on rtv so we can improve our methods of putting rtv on in diffetent surcumbstances. Thanks for the video and the educational aspect of it. You and Troy have a Great Day yourselves.
First thought I had when he said that was "He said boring, I say satisfying." I've always loved mechanics since I was a kid and stuff like this is cool af to see no matter how many times I see it
My mechanic is happy I watch you. He was surprised when I didn't object to the cost of a repair when the part was relatively cheap.I told him I watch you and I know what's involved in getting to the part to replace so I am good with what he charged.
We would use 2 long bolts with the head cut off to guide the seal housing back on just to avoid messing up the "goop[" used for sealing. When the seal itself started to engage the crank, a small flat screwdriver with some grease on it was used to go around as the seal was moved forward so no flipping of the seal or losing the inner tension spring happened.
Also, did their kit come with the crank seal ? Yours came with the other seals, did they just toss them. Oversight, think not!!! Your eye for detail is spot on once again 😊
@@bobbg9041 that statement made absolutely no sense any way you slice it. I could understand being lazy, taking short cuts, saving time, rushing or claiming plain ignorance but certainly not saving money. All parts are usually purchased at wholesale prices with an added cost plus 10% added and passed on to the consumer. Your suggestion only works when a garage buys parts, throws them in the trash and then charges the customer for parts and labor which is Ludacris revolving door to deal with comebacks and warranty work.
Nice job and it's great that Troy is there to help out because I was getting worried with all the stuff you were doing solo. Troy is learning from one of the best and he's providing the helping hands as you need them.
There was, as usual, nothing boring in the video. Everything is a learning experience and I thank you for making it so Ray. Troy did a good job in the removal...and slow and steady separating car from cradle wins the race always. Even though there was background noise..air and so forth we could hear the little inch pound torque wrench clicks. Keep up the great work Ray & Troy!!
I see a good case for low speed option on the hoist I can also see a good case for making up (or buying) some installation guide pins. This is at least the third time I've seen Ray have to assemble things without smearing parts. Long bolts with the heads cut off (and tapered at the end) would fit the bill well, but so would unthreaded rod of appropriate diameter (easier to remove afterwards)
Classic Honda 3.5L V6 they out that motor in everything accords, odysseys the acura rdx as well As 100s of other models and very large year range also fun Job @Rainman Ray's Repairs
Man I'm so sorry you had to delete two videos I know I contributed to that.. you have been an inspiration in my own life Ray! I'm proud of you for ditching the boss and becoming the GOAT!
Brave move takin' the engine out the way it got in. I love watchin' the way you work. Easy on the brake clean, man. You and Eric O are my favourite mecanics on YT. I've done my share of wrenching in thirty years+ and I enjoy watching you solve pronlems as the job developes. I wish you and your wife sucsess and all the best in the future. 🎉
I personally would have pulled the transmission. Thats an awfully long route they took. I am a tech, I spent 15 years in transmission shops as the front wheel drive guy, so i can git er done with authority. I just put a gas engine in a Prius Hybrid. What they did is essentially the same procedure. Hated every minute of it.
hey Ray, when you were applying he RTV, all i could think of with the tone of your voice is that YOU are the Bob Ross of sealant application. awesome vid!
As an Acura RDX owner myself , I’m watching this one closely. Mine’s the 2018 AWD with only 22k miles and a very fine car, but this video is a glimpse into my future should I keep this Acura. Thank you Ray !
I see that you’re slightly concerned about a “bulletproof” Honda engine. I wouldn’t consider a full engine out service “bulletproof.” I hate consumer reports.
I did like the beginning of the video pretty cool editing may I say. Always impressed by your work Ray and troy is a lucky man he has a very good teacher 👍
Ray your attention to detail is very satisfying. Your skill at identifying the true cause and failure point is extraordinary. Great video guys and hello to Troy.
With the RTV sealant I would have tightened all the bolts to about 2/3 of the final torque then waited a while (about a quarter to half the time the manufacturer says it take for the RTV sealant to set) to allow the sealant to start to hardening (vulcanize) then tighten it down to the final recommended torque. If you tighten it down to the final torque immediately you run the risk of forcing too much of the sealant out and ending up with a very thin layer of sealant between the two surfaces. However, it you allow it to start hardening after it has been forced into all the crevices by the initial tightening then tighten it down fully before it fully sets you end up with a thicker more flexible seal that is more tolerant to inter surface movement due to vibration, uneven heating/cooling, et cetera and ultimately gives you a more robust seal that is less prone to leakage.
As a personal preference, those floppy sockets, extensions, and ratchets that you seem to love would be my LAST decision. They would drive me crazier than I already am. 😂😂
Question, wouldn't you use an old junk bank card or business card and smooth out the RTV to create an even layer, and also to make sure no RTV gets on the inside of whatever component one is replacing?
Like many others, I watch to see the eternal struggle to work on vehicles designed by imbercile engineers! But I go out to work on vehicles that you can service and tune by eye, ear or smell! You can keep these modern (post 1960) whilst I smile and strip a carb, dizzy or install 'bits'. Happy Saturday.
Troy has a awesome mentor! Hope he learn a ton from a great teacher! I have had a few awesome teachers like you Ray and younger and older inexperienced guys should really pay attention to guys with your teaching style. Thanks Ray! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Remember we have to take out the refrigerant before unscrewing the a/c manifold. 😂😂😂😂😂 just for the want of typing early morning I presume. Wonderful job dudes, keep on do what you do.
I hope that fel pro seal does not come back to haunt you. I've never had good luck with fel pro main seals on Hondas. I personally use arai or nok seals as they're the original seals for Hondas.
Hey Ray, great video. You're absolutly right about a short cut been taken on that job. Besides the lack of witness marks on the bolts and the old sealant the flattened Oring in behind told the same story. Great work! Cheers!
It's not necessarily a shortcut. We didn't see the seal they pulled out. If it was sufficiently dicked, they may have assumed all the oil came from there. Grey case sealant rarely fails, so it's definitely not something most mechanics would have looked at. Ray is just looking closer because it still leaks.
U know when things have been done to save time, makes going in fixing it much more satisfying you that you got it done where they don't even give thier customer that satisfaction they will never achieve!!! That Definitely saying something!!! Thanks may the Swartz be with you always!!!; )
Good evening good sir! I just wanted to take a moment to wish yourself, wife unit, the munchkins, and Troy a very happy Memorial Day to all of you. I pray that the three day weekend is exactly that for all that all of you do, and that you take the time to rest and rejuvenate. Perhaps even raising a Heineken or two whilst relaxing. Thank you for all that you do, and the many, MANY customers who have the privilege of relying on you to properly repair their vehicles.🙏💜
When i got my rtv applicators certification they said you should go around all bolt holes and also to wait about 10 minutes to allow the rtv to set up before installation 😊
I have seen some guy actually use either a small brush or a popsicle stick with a small notch at the end to spread the RTV. especially the popsicle stick with a kind of v shaped notch left a nice even bead of sealant. Another form I have seen was RTV in kind of a dispenser tube like the one you got for the dielectric grease you usually use on ignition coils. it had a nozzle on it like for a caulking gun and I have seen guys cut a notch in those aswell for application, but I never actually found RTV in those containers, just regular tubes.
Hi ray excellent video like gentleman said it education wish I was 50 years younger I moved there and learn from ray Troy is very lucky have awesome boss and always you all be safe 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Looking at the back of the cover that holds the main seal, at the top on the outside looks like the Carquest logo. Only thing different is the top is sloped instead of flat. Don't know why my brain noticed that but there it is. Other note, it wouldn't be watching paint dry but watching someone paint. Equivalent to watching paint dry is watching the sealant dry/cure.
it's all in the details, that is what I watch your videos for 'training' - ins and outs, dos and don't, as well as individual car/truck parts/repair details. Thanks
I like the way you pull motors out ray scary yet effective awesome job looks to me troy is doing great with you he couldn't have a better teacher my guy i first worked with was Jim oddy
When you were putting sealant on the cover ,you turned into Bob ross.very hypnotic.i am under your spell .glad to see lockstuff where needed.❤😂😮😅😊😢😢😢😊😅😢
We use to use yamabond to seal the split cases on the Suzuki atv quad racers. Always rebuilding the 250 and the 500 quadzilla .Running trails and sand pits was hard on the machines with all the dust.
-The highest quality vehicles I have ever owned were two Honda CB-750-Four motorcycles. The quality of the workmanship and the parts was insane! I have had five Volkswagens, two Porsche's, a Fiat, two Fords, a Nissan, and a Subaru and none of them were any where near as well built as the 1970 and 1976 Honda bikes. Modern Honda is better than most cars, but NO WHERE NEAR as good as in the 1970's!
That v6 is actually the same one thats in my 2010 crosstour, which is something i wish i knew when i bought my replacement engine, ones specifically out of a 10-12 crosstour were ~1800 at around ~90k miles. 13-17 RDX engines were a little less than half of that with around ~30k miles
I used to rebuild Subaru engines at the machine shop and we used a product called Three Bond for aluminum on aluminum machined like that. It looks like that's what they used at the factory. It's like Honda Bond, but a little thicker.
While i may be older and not up on the latest automotive technology, its not always just the crank seal when it leaks... It can be crank end play caused by bearing wear , pressure in case etc.... Did you check other things before pulling the engine ?
I've worked on cars for 33 yrs and I can't wait till you get a 1St gen Chevy cruze with the same fuel injector problem I have I changed them and checked fuel pressure all is good but it still says they are bad
Just curious why you don't buy that brake cleaner in bulk - it would be cheaper I would think

Next time, try and leave the seal out it will give you more wiggle room to install the plate. The seal will slip right in after the plate is installed
