I’ve been asked about doing a video on this process since my first Honda valve adjustment videos came out almost 2 years ago. I was happy when this 2004 Acura TL 6 speed came in not just because it allowed me the opportunity to make this video but also because I think these cars are a lot of tun to drive. This is truly a step by step account of the valve adjustment procedure for the J Series engine. Remember it takes time to get the ‘feel’ for valve adjustments and it’s better to go too loose than too tight.
Here are links to the videos I mentioned in the movie that might also be helpful if you’re servicing one of these J Series engines.

How loud do they get and what noise is it?loud tick?clack?
What do you do with all the extra nuts and bolts you have left over when done?
At 13:42 I was like "Yeah, I'm paying someone to do this.
I have a 2008 TL. Ticking noise at idle until 2500rpm. Need a valve adjustment?
Would a valve adjustment help an all cylinders misfire?
Would this apply for acura 07 rl?
Hey Eric I have a 2008 acura TL type S 141,000 miles and I keep getting the P0171 P0174 codes since I bought the car last February 2020 I replaced all spark plugs with oem cleaned out the fuel injectors map sensor and replaced vacuum lines that were old I replaced both upper oxygen sensors bank 1 and bank 2 I don't know what else to do can you please help?
I had a problem with my 3.5 fouling plugs and using oil. 130,000.. miles on always changed the oil. I installed the s-vcm on the car and it fixed both problems. No more Eco mode but no problems. Takes less than 10min to install.
I was just thinking about going to my freezer to get some cookies n cream.lol
I have a 2001 Odyssey 3.5 V6. What direction do I turn the crankshaft to get TDC for each cylinder ? The factory service manual gives no indication about the direction to turn the crank.
I got a MDX been watchin the last 10 years, between you scotty danner chris and the rest I went from changing my oil to rebuilt my mdx tranmission. Eric your videos are awesome! Happy holidays from Canada eastcoast 😃
Красавчики! Do it!

This is a must to eliminate that damn noise that even a valve adjustment won't help with!
Just finished doing the valve adjustments on my TL.
1. Replace your gaskets
2. Remove the strut brace it'll be much easier
3. Don't remove your power steering line, remove the mounting brackets to the motor and push it out of the way
4. Turn your motor over with the power steering pulley bolt with the car in neutral and the spark plugs removed. Remember to block your wheels.
5. Use specific torque specs and tightening patterns for all your bolts
ERIC KNEW ABOUT THIS CORONA SHIT IN 2012 LOL
Can you make video about cleaner the intake for Acura 1999 to 2004 RL 3.5 liter
Watching this in 2020 and he says "that's supposed to be there, that's called the corona" 😳😳😳 it's like he knew!
I have an 08 Honda Accord v6. How much should I expect to pay at a shop? I was quoted $230 the other day. Does that sound about right? Thanks!
I've been wrenching 25 years and this looks like a big job!
I have a 2010 pilot with a 3.5. I think this needs to be done. What does it sound like before and after?
Thanks for the video. Is the J30A4 engine an interference engine?
Why disconnect the throttle body if you're removing the intake?
Eric I'm going to do this to my 08 pilot. I LOVE your videos theyre amazing. Got the VTM4 and random misfire. Replaced pcv valve it was loose and old and leaking. Cleaned EGR. However this came up the 2nd time I use sh*tty cheap mountain gas. But my baby has 186k now. Its been a decade since my f22 valve adjustment lol.
🤦 I cleaned the throttle body before I saw this lol. Moved the plate a tad to clean with engine off key out. Had to fix the inlet tube since it broke off at the body due to inexperienced grease monkies.
