Honda Element Engine Replacement and Restoration (Part 1)

   03/27/2024  31 Comments on Honda Element Engine Replacement and Restoration (Part 1)

This is (Part 1) a Honda Element engine replacement and restoration. To say this video is packed with information would be an understatement. In addition to replacing the engine and going from an automatic transmission to a manual transmission, I also recondition the lower control arms and the valve cover. If you want to learn all about Elements and what they’re like on the inside, watch this video.

This information also applies to CRV’s of the same vintage.

  1. Powder coating can be easily burned off with an acetylene torch. When I say easily, I mean you can call it 'flash-ash'. It instantly flash burns where you're barely even heating the part. It's fun too 😀

  6. On the bushings, had same problem, found its easier to change the whole control arm, I don't think at the time it was that much more expensive(Whoops!! Wrote comment before watching entire segment)

  8. I have a question. Can u recommend a professional in SoCal? I need my engine either REBUILT or REPLACED. And several other little odds and ends, I basically want to REJUVENATE my 2004 EX. ??? Thank u in advance…

  12. If you find me a Honda element tha would be great I used to have one with over 165000 sol# i .Biggest mistake Is ever regret andb
    I want to make a rePair class
    Teach these kids basic maintenance! And repair

  14. The owner had said he took it to get the oil changed then got it back and had the engine lose all power , can you say , drain and no refill then drive it back to then remember by the service tech , we have no oil , “hurry , put some in and act normal “.

  18. I like videos like this for my element. It’s a project that I will never ever do, especially by myself. But it just gives me a better idea of my car. I am someone that just replaced the whole suspension, all the fluids, and then some purely off of YouTube videos. It’s been a long couple months but I feel as tho I’m about done with work on my element!

  21. There is an old (4yrs.) Scotty K. video where he changes an Element starter from the top.He said that was the way to go if you are not working with a lift.CHEERS from Canadian westcoast!

  23. I work at the company that powder coated the valve covers. In fact, all Honda valve covers and manifold covers from midway through the ULEV on. That particular powder had a lot of stainless flakes in it. There was a change from PPG to Akzo powder suppliers… can't recall when that took place though.

  24. I've run into the same bushing issue before and yeah, it sucks money wise but just not having to fight installing bushes is worth it..and if you're going to install metal on metal go ahead and use a tiny coat of oil before pressing them in.

  27. Hearing how frustrated you are is worrying considering I don’t even have a 1/10th of the experience that you do and I have to do this to my crvs

  28. See…..I watched your original Element control arm video a couple of years ago so when my turn came, I just bought new control arms with the bushings pre-loaded. The labor savings was more than worth it.
