Honda CR-V - Video tutorial

Model: Honda CR-V MK 1 - Years 1995-2001
Part: Engine head
Operation: Valve Cover Removal and Repair

The tutorial that we propose in this video requires to be followed to the letter: I think it is easier to see in practice, rather than in writing. You will remove and replace the cylinder head gasket, a fairly long job but like everything, doable to almost everyone, with patience and will (it happens when the car gets very hot and the problem is not in the thermostat and the engine water is present) . First, remove all engine plastics and raise the oil dipstick and cap; then, disconnect all the tubes by loosening the clamps using a special pliers, perhaps taking care to mark them and write where they were connected, to help you with reassembly. Remove the spark plug clamps and the bolts around the plastic and their relative plastic supports; you should now be able to remove the cylinder head cover. Thoroughly clean the edges and every corner that oozes oil; cover with one or more cloths while in the meantime check and prepare the new gasket and cover (if new), with the relative new rubber pads and cleaning everything well. Put some special glue (or what your mechanic recommends) and replace the lid and everything else in reverse. If you have done everything right, after this work, your car will stop heating, reminding you, if you are a distracted motorist, to check the water and coolant levels often! It goes without saying, however, that distraction is not necessarily the cause of this problem: like everything, it breaks down sooner or later.

How to open the seat of a scooter without the key

If we have to open the saddle on a scooter when we do not have the key, we can find the necessary information and useful information on how to move in the description below and also in the video. The saddle is normally opened by inserting the key in the dashboard and pressing the appropriate control. If we do not have the key available, we can still open it by removing the panel which is placed immediately under the saddle where we rest our feet and intercept the opening cable and then pull it manually. This way the saddle will open.
