I haven't done this yet on my 2007 TL, but have on my 1995 Civic EX; and I didn't have to take the engine out. Just dropped the transmission.
Great job with the video, I’m planning on doing this and was just thinking about the rear main seal. Have you seen 2009 pilot engines cherry-picked from the top? I only seen them removed from the bottom with a lift… thanks!
Hi, what's the rear main seal honda part number?
When many J-series V6 engines last to 500k, it's a good idea to go ahead and get the rear main seal and O'ring replaced, even if the vehicle has over 300k on the odometer. Thanks for the informative video.
Thank you for the video, you make it seems easy job. Unfortunately for me I took my Acura and Mdx to the shop almost a month ago and it seems like the Mechanic is having a lot of trouble to finish the job. I’m a little nervous thinking if my car will work the same again.
Possible to change the o-ring and the main rear seal WITHOUT taking out the entire engine?
lmao. 3:45 mark "this o-ring is not compromised it's just flat, honda/acura o-rings just flatten out over time, see it's just flat" Great video covering the RMS and o-replacement, glad you skipped the removing the engine part.
@Bundysgarage hiii sir . I have a question I have a oil leak underneath my MDX. My MDX was leaking from multiple points but here what I already changed a timing belt kit with all the camshaft seal, the 3 of them I also replaced oil pump gasket and oil filter housing gasket. I was cheking for leaks from the camshaft plug seal o ring but it’s dry not leaks. I inspected the valve cover gasket not leaks. But I see oil running down the oil pan and in the transmission between engine and transmission. So my question is can a rear main seal leak travel down to the oil pan , transmission and oil pan bolt? Thank you .
Would mechanics actually know to do this? I feel like if you ask for this they would think you’re extra
I know this is an old video, but im doing this now trying to teach myself and hoping for some help. When removing the seal retainer or rear main seal housing i didnt notice any residual honda bond above the o-ring. When applying would it need to be applied above as well? I know it is a mating surface, but wasnt sure specifically for that area, im assuming nothing on the inner mating surface near the crank as well. Also, i noticed what appreared to be pink threadlock on the housing bolts, do you use hondalock 2ht when reinstalling? Sorry for the long comment. Any help would be appreciated.
Lol the duh got me.
So my shopping list consist of ?
A very expensive repair.
What is the part number for the O ring on a 2005 Honda Accord 3.0 V Tech Engine.
The replacement oring is smaller than the original. It won't seal the high pressure oil. Is there a possibility the replacement oring is not the correct size?
