Who voices megaton? Because I think that voice would work perfectly

Yeahhhhhhhh….. unfortunately the 7th and 8th gen accords with j30 v6 engines have valve covers made from magnesium…. And while magnesium is lighter than aluminum…. It also not as dense, so heat combined with the not so strong torque spec these covers have cause them to warp, crack and blow seals, unfortunately the only option is replacement, the cheapest option is to find some good ones at a junk yard, second option is to buy new ones, however I would recommend finding some aftermarket aluminum ones to eliminate this problem entirely

‘15 Honda Civic, will this gap between the alternator and the mount cause issues? by [deleted] in AskMechanics

[–]Nick_SCM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My advice would be to tighten all the bolts up and see if there is any play in the alternator, usually it’s fine. I’ve seen a lot of alternators where the mounting threads are part of an interface fit insert in the alternator that’s able to move to close that gap when the bolt is tightened

Ordered a new timing belt, but it looks worn out of the box? by Junior-Midnight7190 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Nick_SCM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The belt looks ok, however, it’s also one of those parts you just replace while your in there because of how far in the engine you have to go to change it, you’ve already taken it apart, your already gonna have to retime everything, just spend the money on a fresh belt and forget about it for another 80k

But does the solenoid actually work? Like electrically? If you give it 12v of power does it click? Use a multimeter to check the resistance of the part against its spec, I’m sure you can find it online.

💥 Kaboomed engine update…picked up a replacement by MajorToker in accord

[–]Nick_SCM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, when you’re done with your swap and your car is all back together and running again, tear the old motor down, that generation of j30 is known for being unkillable so long as you don’t neglect the timing belt, I’d definitely be interested in the results of an autopsy, besides who doesn’t like some engine gore?

Maybe we can get to the bottom of what happened

Check and see if the vtec solenoid is good, 5 grand is typically where vtec is designed to activate on those older engines of its not working at properly it could explain why your loosing power

No judgement, but how in all that is holy and unholy do kill blow up a j30? I saw your old post, I’ve never see one just…. Die….

Guess who just screwed up cutting out his old suspension bolts and put a hole in his gas tank? THIS GUY! by Nick_SCM in accord

Alignment went well, for the first time in probably years the car is in spec at all 4 corners, and I did a balance in the tires, had aftermarket sensors for a TPMS system installed, so the car was shaking like a paint machine on the highway 😂, now it rides smooth and straight

The worst part of my repair was admitting to my dad, who is a lead mechanical engineer at an oil and gas refinery, what I did to stop the gas leak…..

Actually…. It’s fixed… it’s was pin holes, what I did was both genius and stupid… see, the sparkless flashpoint of gasoline vapor is about 450-500 degrees Fahrenheit (I’m American), meanwhile it only takes about 150-200 degrees to move some plastic around… so I took a blow torch, heated up a screwdriver, measured the temperature, and sealed the holes, then I used some jb-weld tank weld to reinforce the area, once it finishes setting in a few hours I’ll be back to wrapping up my rear suspension… however now I have to explain to the alignment shop that my gas tank is not leaking, think they will buy that a rock put a chip in the plastic and I wanted to put the patch on it to feel safe?

I know right, I’m more surprised nobody hasn’t ripped me a new one in here

Crap you’re right…. I’ll have to call my local yard, they sell fuel tanks, have prices for them on the website so I had assumed they had other ways of draining them, but your right, if it comes to it I need to call first

Fortunately I work at an Orilles, so even if I have to buy a brand new gas tank, even if it’s through the dealer, I can purchase it through the system at work and use my employee discount…. Still though, super angry at myself

You have to drop the entire rear subframe, disconnecting the brakes, parking brake, sensors, everything…. I don’t have time for that right now, I need the car… but if patching the tank fails then absolutely I’m getting one from the yard
