Well done on getting that joker out of there

 

Thank you to everyone for your help. The job is done and the Accord is back on the road. No leaks, noise, engine light or any new codes. Runs good. The wife is happy. I was a little scared when I was about to start it but it cranked over and fired up. It was going into high rev mode once in a while but I found that I didn't connect the vacuum hose to the cover. Bone head mistake but I was glad it wasn't anything else. I can't believe that there's not a gasket for the cover because making a seal with the Hondabond HT was a little messy. The old chain length showed only about a half inch stretch as compared to the new one. Code P0341 is definitely a stretched timing chain. Thanks again for the help - Lon

 

Thanks for followup.

I haven't had to perform a chain replacement but I for sure saw the length of hondabond gasket as a major headache. Especially since they specify completion before setup of the RTV; < 20 mins?. Were you able to meet this target?

Where did you place the hondabond; engine block or cover? Some folks that have done this recommended engine block to reduce possibility of contact before aligning cover. Either one looks to be problematic.

good luck

 

Well done ....thanks for the follow up, too many times we never know how the story ends.

 

Well its been a month and no codes, runs good and no leaks. The Hondabond gasket was a pain but you can get most of the bolts in easily, there are 2 that are a pain; the far left one on the oil pan (trans line/frame in the way) and the upper left one near the brake lines. It was tough with big hands. I put the Hondabond on the cover and top of oil pan. Make sure the power steering line is out of the way. Thanks again for all the help - Lon

 

Again, glad "she" is holding together and doing fine.

 

Friend, I was looking at your post here, I believe it should work for me .. my question is, can I hope anywhere? or is there any side that I should twist the bit?
