    one question do you think if my car was knocking then knocked out do you think the bearing is seized i just dont see how the pistons could be in anyway effected if i changed the bearing should it go back to normal even if i have a siezed bearing

    When you use the wrench to rotate the holes to line up, do you know if this is possible without the entire engine open? I needed to replace that entire assembly but my bolt holes do not line up but I don’t feel like stripping it down that far. Thanks.

    Hi Garage Fanatic .hopefully u can help me I've had changed my head gasket on my vq37vhr and then putting my engine back together. Then fire it up car is start up smoothly. But the problem im having is that there is no acceleration 0 rpm and is feel l like when im accelerate its blowing air out from the intake any ideas why?

    Sounds like you messed up the timing and had a piston bend a valve, do a compression test and find out which cylinder it is.

    You used a red grease on lower timing chain , upper chains , also , looks like Redline , are sprockets and tensioners for the cams new , cams , also the crank gear , most of the stuff looks new , did you replace the oil pump , great work , i got a HR , gonna’ try to rebuild it ,

    For this engine, I kept the stock oil pump and added a small Boundary Engineering shim to slightly increase oil relief pressure. Also, yes, I use Redline assy lube for every build. It's fantastic stuff.

    What's the torque specs for the vvl cam? The 8 10mm screws on top of the cam tower I had a friend helping me tear a motor apart and I forgot to mention to him not to remove those screws but all he did was loosen them out. He did not remove the cap

  • @garagefanatic7830
    @garagefanatic7830Ай бұрын

    I don't recall the torque specs being listed in the FSM for those bolts but they're the same size as the rest on the cam tower so I'd stick with that and you should be fine.

    Thank you brother, for these videos/ teachings. You are truly appreciated. ❤️. Question: after I removed my timing chain guides and tensioner. I was trying to remove the chain from the intake gears and crankshaft my gears spun two times. I also noticed that my lifters move. Do you think that I might have messed something up? 🤔 Edit: the driver/right side cam sprockets was giving me a bit of a hard time to get off after I secured the tensioner. The chain kept getting stuck into the guide groove... so I put a flat dinner knife between the tensioner and the chain. That made it a lot easier to come off.

    It's sitting up high because the camshaft lobes are in a position to compress the valves. As long as you are in the correct degree range with the pistons and camshaft positions you're fine.

    I am doing the timing on my vqhr after removing the primary timing chain in order to do the water pump. Unfortunately was stuck all day today trying to figure out how to rotate the cam sprockets to tdc and now has led me to this video to learn everything about my motor. I work at Honda and as a lube tech and all my coworkers are telling me I have to remove the camshafts and re insert them at the tdc position. Is this true or is there another way to rotate the cam sprockets?
