This is great, I'd watch this stuff all day! You think it's boring because you did it, and you know what's coming up. But it's a gold mine for someone like me (Learning). Thank you for sharing it free of charge. I know you are doing a great service to all the driveway mechanics out there. I fly helis too btw, or I did when I could afford it! :)

@maksym2k I'm glad to hear that my videos help you as that is my goal. Thanks very much for your comment.

wat could make my car not burn the gas n just eat it...i failed a smog test inspection do u think it will cost me a lot to fix w.e i failed n pass it? 

[EricTheCarGuy]

@dgaleno2012 First you need to know what it failed for, normally 4 or 5 gasses are analyzed to do the test, knowing what was out of spec can give important clues as to what the problem is.

Also forgot to mention I have a 92 prelude dohc H23 so it should be similar I believe to this civic.

[EricTheCarGuy]

@nobo631 Not even close really, this Civic engine is a baby compared to that one, the H23 is almost twice it's displacement. Also working on Preludes is not like working on Civic's, Civic's are much easier, Preludes can be more of a challenge.

@vacuumfreak95 That means it's time to change your oil! if you change it and it still smells like gas then i would look for any kind of cracks or oil rings.

thanks for posting this video up eric! it has been very very helpful! I think i hydrolocked my 2000 Honda Prelude and Im guessing Im gonna have to take the engine out to see if my engine block is cracked or if my piston rods are broken...when i try to start the car, the engine doesnt turn over. When i try to spin the engine manually, it doesnt spin. So yeah, thanks for helping. Feel free to respond to confirm my diagnostic for my car : )

Hello Eric the car guy! I have a something to ask. I have a 2007 chevy uplander with the 3900V6 and The oil smells like gas. What can cause this and is in really bad?

[onefastz93]

i see you use your impact alot, shouldnt a torque wrench be used? Im sure you have enough expierence to know how much torque the bolts at?

[GuyRWood]

Great video Eric as usual. I've always kinda wondered, as a torque wrench kinda guy, what sort of torque does your air wrench tighten to?

[DOMOEK6]

oooh on your face hahahah classic

[DOMOEK6]

eric ur awesome love this vids, i find myself watching them often also i find your commentary great but i catch myself laughing at it, i guess its your sense of humor that is what makes me laugh..  keep up the good work oh yeah post more honda vids

[PDSVIDEO1966]

Great video ,but i was thinking wouldn't it been easier to have flex plate end facing the other way to save having to step over legs of engine crane or keep ducking and then remove crane to fit transmission?.

Plus 100% agree on genuine parts fit and function.
