The main purpose of writing this piece is to intimate people that, asides Toyotas, and others, HONDA BRANDED vehicles can be rebuilt, to standard.

There are a lot of skepticism about engine overhauls.

Some people, see it as a waste of time, and resources. They argue, why not just replaced an engine that's having a major mechanical problems, such as seizures, or engine knocks, etc.

Almost everything on an automobile, can be repaired, without entirely replacing it.

In this piece of writeup, I'd be sharing my experiences on the overhaul of a Honda Accord, 2008.


CASE STUDY

Vehicle: Honda accord 2008
Transmission system: Automatic
Engine configuration: 4cylinder SOHC
Engine capacity: 2.0L

CUSTOMER'S COMPLAINTS
Engine makes a knocking noise; vehicle can't ascend hilly terrain; engine oil consumption is significantly high (he keeps topping it almost everyday).


THE FIX-INSPECTIONS
1. Blue smoke coming out of the exhaust tailpipe.
2. Confirmed engine has no compression enough.
3. Engine make was an R series lineups, which were incorporated in Crv, civics(2013- present), and accords(08).

These R series engines from Honda corporation are in 1.6/1.8/2.0L configurations, with the 2.0L, meant for performance, and fuel economy.
The 1.6/1.8L are basically meant t for fuel economy.
4. All spark plugs were caked, as a result of excessive engine oil burnings.
5. Scoured crankshaft, crankshaft journal and camshaft bearings.
6. Excessive worn camshaft top cylinder journals, and a rocker arm assembly.


*******
1. All piston rings, metal bearings for the crankshaft, and camshafts were all replaced with new genuine Honda only parts.

2. During such rebuilds, endeavor to have all the rubber seals(O-seals, crankshaft/camshaft seals replaced).

3. Ensure the top cylinder and engine block surfaces are not warped(bent).
That would prevent pressure leaks during the compression strokes.
Get a machinist to help with checking that out before assembling the engine.

4. Don't use synthetic oil to break in the rings after overhauls.
I use 20W-50 to get the rings seated properly, then after a month or 1000miles, I get the engine oil replaced, and switch to its recommended engine oil(5w20).

Note: Allowing the engine to idling excessive for a long time, those nothing to seat the rings properly as some mechanics are meant to believed.

Allowed the engine to idling for a while, then go for a test drive.

Simulate all driving kinds of conditions (aggressive, and in gridlocks).

5. Hand over vehicle to owner, and request that vehicle must be returned after a month, for engine oil change.


Finally, if you got any vehicle/engine to overhaul, please get across to the contact below.

It doesn't matter the engine configurations.

Whether, I4, V6-V12.

There are clients over here that we'd had their vehicles rebuilt(a Corolla is still in service, after 2017).

Honda accord 08 rebuilt engine

Spark plugs, and ignition coils fully immersed in engine oil. Tips of the plugs shows some form of caking.

Shows the scouring on the engine block crankshaft journal bearing

Crankshaft assembly, with its journals scoured. Replaced with new genuine Honda journal bearings

The catalytic converter without anything in it. owner would vet that replaced subsequently.

Grabs a pack of popcorn and a chilled bottle of Coke.

I also have my notepad and a pen.

Timing chain exposed, readying it for TDC before removal. Extreme care must be taken, less the valves gets bent.

Shows the cylinder bores of the engine block. Bore sizes are still within tolerable limits.

Same engine block bores.

Pistons and rings already thrust into the engine block.

That's the replaced crankshaft assembly.

Camshaft displayed after rocker arm assembly was removed.

Synchronising the camshaft and crankshaft before mounting in the vehicle. Exercise care when timing those components. Any slight mistakes would lead to expensive damage and repairs.

This accord can be transplanted with a K24 series engine, and even a 1/8L R series engines, commonly found in Honda civics, and 2013 civics.

A K series engines are the ones you see available on EODs, and in some evil spirit 4cylinder(2.4L).

Boss how much would it cost me to change the catalytic converter and the sensors on my 2009 crv

What's ballpark estimate for a rebuild?

Will love to learn more about this, considering the fact that they have different wiring systems, gears and engine mounts.

Nice job bro

We need more threads like this.

Royalord1: got no definite cost in catcon replacement. I don't know what sensors you're referring to. We've got lots of sensors on such vehicles.

I think this is the K24-series meant for EOD or Evil spirit in my honda civic 2007
