I know this car, it’s had an incredible amount done to it. The owner is a total Honda nut and a very well known tattoo artist up in Scotland. He has a number of show winning highly modified Honda’s including an insane NSX. I tuned his Accord a few years back, he’s a lovely bloke and for that...

Yes sounds like your control arm compliance bushes are shot.

Correct, this only applies to K and R series petrol engines (in context of modern Accords) but generally it applies to all Honda petrol engines (cars, motorbikes etc)

Exactly this way.

I’ve done the lock nut and push rod adjustment on an 8th gen myself recently, it’s tricky but not that hard. You’ll need a good head torch, some decent pliers and a bit physical dexterity. Once the lock nut is loosened you’ll need to grip the push rod really tight with the pliers and move it in...

Never seen p228f before, but who knows if someone has been messing with it previously. You have 2 separate issues, one is on your fuelling side (do your proper checks for injectors and rail pressure etc) and your second issue is the turbocharger itself, it’s sticking due to soot accumulation on...

No it’s a forum filter, they just needed approving which I’ve done.

Thank you for sharing

Great stuff Talon, thank you very much for your effort here and for sharing with the community.

Should be fixed now. Give it a try. And yes I’m still here.

I’m so pleased it went to you Rod, and I hope it brings you years of smiles and trouble free motoring. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed putting an easy 5k miles on it the last 4-5 months, she really is a beauty.

They look good. How do these spacers work as these cars have studs rather than wheel bolts. How are you compensating for the reduced thread on the lug nuts?

Use a head torch, get right under the clutch pedal. Unclip the blue spring so you can get access to the lock nut against the push rod. Then with a pair of pliers carefully grip the push rod and spin it clockwise in small increments to extend its length. Once you’re happy with the position...

Buy some basic tools, including a feeler gauge and watch some YouTube videos on Honda K series valve clearance adjustment. It’s not hard to do.

I’ve had some good results with liqui moly additives in other vehicles, worth a shot but if the ATF is due I would do that first.

I would also check and reset your valve clearances on this engine.

Yep, Cox are a Honda main dealer. Be careful on eBay, plenty of fake plugs going about.

Yes very easy on this engine. Use genuine Honda plugs

Thank you, great to meet you. Glad to hear she’s running well.

I thought the same - peel back the wiring loom and see if it’s been previously spliced into somewhere. I removed the towbar from our 8th gen recently and was very careful to remove each connection and preserve the integrity of each cable.
