This is how NOT!!!!!! to do this job. Now this guy has blue smoke coming from his exhaust and oil leaking through his valves. Its not like he changed his oil that often anyway that can be seen in how filthy the inside of the head is anyway. Can we all say Grenade’d motor soon to come.
Honda actually states in the Service Manual to hit on the top of the valve retainer’s with a socket just like he did to loosen up the valve keeper’s. And then use a spring compressor to remove the springs.
Also you use a mallet to drive in some seals on engine 🙂

Im sorry I meant “usually you WOULDN’T do that”
meaning the socket method to remove valve.
You alright doing that. Usually you would do that to remove the valves/springs. But Honda actually says to hit the tops of the spring retainer like your doing to loosen up the keepers but not to remove the springs/valve. But when I did that to loosen them up I noticed that sometimes the valve keeper’s and retainer popped right off.
Technically you are supposed to use a valve spring removal tool, but I work at Honda and you are fine using that socket method in my experience!
I think they did a decent job an im 1 of the types of ppl who doesn’t have acces to all these extra needed tools for when I do my own work so learning how to do it by eye or with basic tools is always helpful I just put an ls vtec motor in my integra and im using my old ls motor that had like 200k on it to learn how to install cams springs and all the internal stuff so I don’t have to pay ppl to do it for me when its rlly not that hard
to every1 who keeps breakin this kids balls about using a socket must not know ho wengines are rebuilt cuz yes there is a special tool that ppl can waste their money on for a 1 or 2 time job maybe but if u ask any old school hot rodder or street racer all the old engines and racers used to do this exact same method its quicker and just as efficient whats it ognna harm the valve ur takin out or replacing anyway lol its a very common method so for ppl hating go make ur own vid then of the proper
There are VERY FEW times you should hit ANY component of an engine with a socket, mallet or otherwise. There is a tool for removing valve springs. It’s called a valve spring compressor. They are about $15 at your local parts store. Using a socket and hitting them with a hammer is just asking for bent valves or worse.

HOLY FUCK YOU LOOK JUST LIKE ME!
They showed how to get them back in place with the compression tool decayparty you are a dip shit you didn’t even watch the whole video and you are even dumber if you did and still said that
Yeah and just think… while your car is at the shop, its retards like this banging on your valves with a hammer. How about a simple valve compressor tool for 40$ ? This is ghetto as shit. How are you supposed to get the retainers back in place with your hammer method. Quality jobs use the right tools.
why you no adjust valve lash?
she said the compression test was good… i would do a tune up on it ie cap rotor wires and plugs
you should check your coilspacks (coil on plug) and your spark plugs switch your coil pack 1 with your number 4 and your 2 with your number 3 plug reset your ecu by scan tool at your parts store and drive if the code it shoots is 2 4 misfire then buy 2 coil packs for those plugs and be on your way
The issue with the cylinders is a lack of compression. The solution would typically be rebuilding the head. A common source for this problem is when the timing belt breaks it causes head damage. You have to weigh the cost of having the head rebuilt to the value of the car. If the repair costs more than the car is worth its time to sell it.
that’s why I would rather just take the head out myself and then pay 320 max to have the valves reseated head resurfaced new vavle seals
where did you get the tool that you compressed the valve springs with? How much was it and what is the part number? I need one to work on my ’95 Integra
really bro didn’t they teach to resurface your cylinder head instead of using all that crap on it
I have a ’93 EX Coupe 5-speed and my mechanic is quoting me somewhere between $800 – $1000 to have new seals put in, resurface the head and re-seat the valves. (That’s a lot of money on a 20 yo car, but it is such fun to drive that I’ll probably do it.)
I recently bought my 1st car its a 96 Honda Accord with a 4 cylinder engine. I don’t know much about the engine. But the check engine light is on. umm Cylinders 1 and 3 read a misfire on my engine diagnostic and smog test. A compression test was done and the cylinders are not blown. They still work. So what do you think might be the issue with the cylinders? Or should I just sell the car?
Awesome video
Jordan’s helper: I think it would be worth it, it sounds like it’s going to take a lot of work to fix it, and probably a lot of money to fix it.
Jordan’s helper: It’s new engine lube, but ask your part’s store. Thanks for commenting.
name of red Oil u use ?? 😛
Well, valve seals aren’t to expensive, but if you remove your cylinder head, you really need to have it resurfaced, and you have to buy a new head gasket (which would include valve seals if you got a kit), so somewhere around 2 or 3 hundred bucks. When I get my cylinder heads resurfaced I just pay an extra 20 bucks to have them do the valve seals.
How much would something like this COST !
You can find everything on eBay 🙂
where can i find that plastic piece you put on the valve before installing the new seals?
Yep, that’s the best way. Thanks for commenting.
Use the right tool for the right job.
Oh, ok.
Lol heck yeah it does.
I bet this honda goes 400mph and has 6000HP Just from adding a Pipe and intake!
Oh ok, cool thanks man I appreciate it.
Next time you do one of these jobs it will be alot easier. Give me your address where I can
send you the ValveMaster valve keeper tool. It’s on me.
Well this idiot will agree it is plastic…. impregnated with an abrasive. 3M makes 3 different ones, green-coarse, yellow-med and white -fine. They are 3M roloc bristle disks. They have an abrasive fine enough to pass through an oil filter, I use them but I make sure I clean whatever I was working really good before I assemble it. Don’t believe me do an internet search, how does that foot of yours taste?
only one question. i seen some sludge on that head, how wasnt it on fire when using the torch. :S
I just realized why my valve train has marks on its side. 4:40, looks like there was a valve job done to my car.
working on my 78 honda Gold Wing bike, thats exactly what I needed to know…thanks, God Bless
I’m actually in the process off rebuilding my H22 head & did the same thing you guys did to knock the valves loose before i saw this vid. Dont listen to anyone that says its “shade tree mechanic” cause they prolly pay people to do their work. What you did in NO WAY hurts the head and/or valvetrain. As for removing the seals, i found it easier to heat each 1 w/ a heat gun for about 30 seconds then twisting bacn n forth while pulling up w/ the pliers. Nice job fellas
