I remember doing all of this to my 2001 and 1999 Honda CR-Vs. I miss it and I don't at the same time.
Man thank you Eric again and again 🙏
I couldn’t get my feeler gauges between my valves 6 months ago with my H23A2 and I gave up.
Good to know that this can be „normal“…
so underated how easy the 4G motors are to work on, whenever i see honda or toyota theres always some complication
been telling you for years to do up that 51 chev
This was a good car, Would definitely have recommended buying one new, if I could go back in time.
ERIC HELP…had to replace radiator and radiator lines were stuck, would not budge..so I removed the 2PCS Transmission Cooler Lines on Radiator from the trans cooler lines with rubber hose instead (bought new lines for new radiator)… BUT i did not take notice..how they connect back.. So I ask… Does the top (longer one) radiator line connect back to the lower trans cooler rubber line? I hope you can help a girl out. I need car back on road… HELP
You are a absolute legend for this vid
oh a long video！
while I didnt see a pin I did see the water pump did have dowels on the 2 boltholes, then some came with 1, and I guess they stopped all together at some point or you just do not get one with the pump and need to order it seperate
Hi Eric, I have a 1995 Milano Red Civic EX. I bought it around 21 yrs. ago for $350. It needed the main relay. I just re-soldered it. And when summer came I soon found out coolant was going away somewhere. So I did the head gasket. I love the car. It has the regular rust on the rear quarters and the regular faded paint with primer showing topside. My son is now of driving age and I'm gonna give it to him. I am welding in metal around the rear wheels. And doing tons of other crap. So I've been doing a ton of stuff with genuine Honda parts to make it better for him. Long story long? I have been watching you since your first video and have learned so much and used so many of your videos as a guide. I tried to record what I've been doing lately on the Civic and I can't pull it off and get anything done at the same time. It's ridiculous. A new appreciation for what that takes has emerged. So in the spirit of that, I want to thank you for all your awesome content over the years. You are an incredible human being. Thank you.
Eric! Please help me figure out what's wrong with my crv…. Is there a way I can communicate with you to maybe just ask you a couple questions to steer me in the right direction?
Where is your shop ? Have a clunking noise in the passenger side front suspension over bumps on my 2010 Subaru Outback that 3 shops so far haven’t been able to find . Thanks. Alan
Eric is still here❤. Watched a lot of his videos 10 years ago.
Just learned you did videos in Cincy? Never knew, but great work…
Hey Eric did you know that you can put loking pins in the cam shafts there are holes on the 1st carier caps and cams.
Laughing that my dude doesn't have to seal puller, yet I do but have never used it. 😋
What the hell happened to this channel???
Great video Eric. It just makes me miss my 94 Integra even more. I'll just have to go take my prelude out instead. It's not the same but it'll do.
Excellent. THis is the Eric that I have missed for some time. Thank you.

Hi Eric! My auto teacher puts your videos on the screen all the time to teach us stuff! Thus I’ve begun to say “Oh this guy again.” Whenever he does 😅😅
Love these videos
Just a note about the front left torque mount that the AC belt goes around. If the mount isn’t broken or a new one is being put on, the mount will not go on or come off the stud on the AC bracket unless the engine is lowered slightly. You can sneak the belt in between the mount and the frame rail when unbolted. But to remove or replace the mount altogether, the main engine mount has to be loosened with a Jack under the oil pan, so the engine can be lowered about a half to one inch or so.
"Since we are here .. we might as well…" sounds farmiliar
1:45:00 about putting sealant there, i found myself often using silicone on water pumps and oil tanks just to keep the gasket in place. When i lieing on the ground trying to manover this stuff and avoiding rust falling to eyes, drop of silicon here and there on gasket helps to keep it steady
What can i say – great work.
For that distributor rotor screw, I highly recommend a JIS screwdriver rather than Philips. Much less chance of stripping the head. Same for all screws on the car that look like Philips.
Also I had my original distributor go out about 12 years ago. I couldn’t afford OEM then so I put a Cardone distributor on. It had an issue 3 years later, but with lifetime warranty it was replaced through RockAuto, no questions asked. That was 2016 and it’s been fine ever since then.
Holy smokes I’ve owned my GSR nearly 25 years and I never thought of using the PS pump pulley to rotate the engine with spark plugs out. The nut is reverse thread too so no chance of loosening it when turning the motor counterclockwise. Awesome tip! As for belts, Bando belts from RockAuto are readily available which suppleied some of the OEM belts. Some of them are made in USA and some of them even in Japan.
Eric!
My daughter has 2013 Altima 2.5L,
Car drives about 3 minutes then losses all power & move @ about 2mph,l'm thinking it's the Camshaft or Crankshaft Sensor,can U guide me in the right direction if it's not either or these sensors please…
With car prices where they are now, these 90s hondas and acuras will become increasingly popular. It's good the owner is doing the maintenance to keep her running. I plan on keeping my 97 ek hatch for as long as I can.
I have the same color Integra 1994 LS, also automatic. My son did not want it. I use it now as one of my daily's. Fell in love with it.
Thank you so much Eric for the very very very valuable information. Good to see you back as always. We all Enjoy your videos.
Have to ask…what was that sound at 42:04? 😂🤣
2:03:02 I've cleaned my IACV on my Integra twice now and every time I do I have rough idling issues for like 1-2 days afterwards. Usually a very low idle to the point where the engines dies and the car is undrivable. Does anyone possibly know why?
😂🎉🎉🎉
Appreciate the detailed walkthrough. My Integra runs like new now!
Would you recommend any specific brands for the timing belt kit?
