Honda CR-V - Video tutorial

Model: Honda CR-V MK 1 - Years 1995-2001
Part: Engine head
Operation: Engine head cover gaskets replacements

This video describes how to replace an engine's cylinder head cover gaskets if they are excessively worn because they are old. We open the hood of the car and we have to locate the engine cover, it is easy to recognize it because the four valves are connected to it. We very carefully unscrew all the bolts that secure the cover to the engine head, remembering any cable connections. Once everything has been unscrewed, lift the lid and turn it over from the part in contact with the head, this is where the gasket that slides along the edge to avoid heat loss is found and replace it. Beyond that we replace the four rubber rings at the entrance to the valve ducts. Let's reassemble everything.

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
