Because there is no self adjustment on J37A engines (and on many other 6 cyl Honda engines), as there are no hydraulic lifters. It's manual adjustment. And I can assure you it's needed at higher mileages as clearly seen in this detailed guide. Unless you don't care about the noise, loss of compression and worse gas mileage in case of loose clearances and valve eating into the seats (which is permanent damage) in case of clearances that are too tight. I hope this helps!

Great video AA, I've seen guys that found the hose between the intake and the front valve cover to be plugged(6:19) with the sludge/Blowby moving through the engine crankcase to the intake. That short hose sees most of it and will carbon up inside. Synthetic oil is a good way to cut down on the blowby and a good 10W-30 will help seal the rings better. I'm in Texas and use 10W-40 to compensate for the heat a little better. I found #2 cylinder had wiped the Cam Lobe and severe clicking noise on that Exh. Rocker. Had to replace both cams and a couple of rockers and it's been fine since. 288K+ miles.

The service manual says Exhaust is 0.28-0.32mm (0.011-0.013), Intake 0.20-0.24mm (0.008-0.009in) so it is a range so don't sweat it if you can't find 22 & 30 as video list the mid point only... Also those 10mm bolt should be torqued back at 20Nm/14lbf-ft - I should have checked it before as I likely didn't torque them enough with my short 10mm wrench (had to use a socket to loosen many of them). I would also highly suggest doing 4,5,6 and opening only one side at a time and doing the front first to get good practice as the back is so much harder. No reason to go back and forth and cover things to prevent debris from falling as you go back and forth. Also painters tape works better at sealing the intake than shop towels IMO.

Do you remember if any of your valves were out of adjustment to speak of? Been a while, but since you’re responding to many questions I thought I’d ask. I bought my 2006 MDX used and the previous owner had all his maintenance done at the Acura dealer…(one reason I bought it because it was highway miles and the owner did all the fluid changes at the dealer when due). The MDX had 306,000 on it and still the original timing belt as the dealer had no record of putting it on, as they never suggested it to him and he’s not mechanically inclined to think of such things. So of course it has a new one in it now. But going that mileage to me was a testament to the quality of the part and engine (or that God was just watching over him:). Thought you’d be amazed so fyi. I’m sure the valves have never been touched. It runs great, and they asked about the valves, when I had the dealer do the timing belt, but seems like they weren’t going to give me a break on the labor, even though they had it already apart, so I passed on it, cause I was already putting out $1,000 and wasnt that excited about another 7-800 the same day. I’m not worried about the valves, but it is something I think about once in a while. I do expect this car to hit 400,000. Has 324,000 currently.

Lately I am smelling oil from exhaust when I start my car in my Garrage. You think I might have some oil leaks from any of these gaskets?
@AcuraAddicted

Thanks! You really want to check and adjust clearances at least every 100K miles with the TB service. While the usual symptoms are noisy valves, you might not have any, but you still want to do this. If the valves are too tight, they start to eat at the valve seats, which can lead to engine damage and in a lot of cases an irreversible process once it started. As for your oil smell, that's not good. It might be oil seeping from under the valve covers and onto cats. But it can be worse - oil getting into cylinders and burning there, which means you might have a piston ring problem. 2010-2013 models are prone to that issue. I would get someone knowledgeable have a look.

When they’re too tight, the valves will start digging into the seats. When they’re loose, they’re just noisy.

Depends on the gas quality where you live. If it’s good quality gas, you can measure and adjust if needed every 100K miles. If gas is bad, I would suggest doing it every 50K miles at least.

question is when do you need to adjust the valves ? it's hard to tell from the noise maybe as it's gradual when you own the car ?? or is the noise from too loose intake, but too tight outtake is what causes damage so too late if you can hear it ? 2007 MDX with 125k Update: this spells it out more what to look for kzitem.info/news/bejne/pXiXl5mbq3ilq6g

Acura says to adjust when they become noisy. Rule of thumb is when they are noisy it's generally already too late, but not always. It's best to measure the clearances every 105K miles along with the TB to make sure they are within specs at least. In my experience my first measurement in 2014 at 105K miles was within specs. It's only the second time in 2020 when I had to adjust some.

@@AcuraAddicted wonder why you checked again after 45k (wasn't TB again) - to make this video ? did you loosen anything at 105k that might have cause to be out of spec at 150k ? the bummer is that I got half way through this when cleaning the intake/PCV/EGR pipe but didn't do the valves not many miles ago... annoying to have to go back :)

Yes, it was TB again in 2020 for me, but that’s not why I did the check. I did the check because the car was at a much higher mileage. Better safe than sorry.

Many thanks Bogdan. All of your videos are first rate and easy to follow. I used this one when I found oil leaking into a spark plug tube. It was a lot of work to fix that small problem, but I changed a lot of gaskets and cleaned up much gunk also in the process. My 2007 MDX Tech has 204,000 miles and is going strong.

Thank you for the feedback! You might have spilled a little oil somewhere and it’s burning. Should go away. If it doesn’t, Synthetic oil is thinner than the regular blend, so it can seep through some seals and burn. Check for leaks.

when you set the crank to top dead center did you ever move it again? I guess what I'm asking is do you need to move the crank to a new spot every time you move to the next cylinder?

@@williamtreat5893 Tight clearances can cause misfires, but I wouldn't rule out other reasons. If you already know you have a known good spark plug/coil and the injector works as expected, if your MDX is 2010-2013, the most likely cause of the misfire would be piston rings, it's a typical issue on 2010-2013 MDXs. You can also have a broken valve or more. Broken valves are easier to diagnoze than bad piston rings (you only need a $40 camera to inspect them through the spark plug hole).
