When fixing the oil leak from the front spool valve on my wife’s 2012 Honda Odyssey with the J35 engine, I screwed up, and you could too, easily. Because I screwed up, you don’t have to.

I had to replace the alternator on my wife’s 2012 Honda Odyssey recently. I believe the root cause of that alternator failure was an oil leak from the front valve cover on the engine.

A while back I was complaining after getting my new Mityvac brake pressure bleeder set because it did not contain any Honda specific adapters.

I’m proud to announce my solution to not having a shop! It’s called, What’s Happening to my Car? In this series I plan to travel around to different auto repair shops and help out where I can.

This is my solution to not having a shop to work out of, other peoples shops. I’m fortunate enough to have some friends around, in particular, my friends at FlowTek Customs LLC in West Chester OH.

I realize this is new to me, not necessarily you, but when I went looking to resupply my windshield washer fluid I found these tabs that dissolve in water to make washer fluid.

I’ve been chasing exhaust leaks on my turbocharged Fairmont since I put the new engine in.

In this video I show you how to install a VLine infotainment upgrade in my 2012 Honda Odyssey with navigation.

I came out on a cold winter morning to find a puddle of brake fluid under the right front tire of my 2005 Honda Element. Upon further inspection, I found the caliper leaking from the piston.

It took a minute to get to the root of this problem. Mainly because of me, but I’d argue that I eventually found the issue and fixed it. I’ll do better next time.

Never pass up the opportunity to do things correctly, the first time. With my initial diagnosis of this problem I made assumptions, threw parts at it, and as expected, I didn’t fix the problem.

This video is an in depth guide to the basic parts of an internal combustion engine, in miniature!

I love this truck and I want to keep it happy, healthy, and free of leaks. The best way to do this is to drive it as often as possible, even in the winter.

Never let them sit is what I say. In my view, this is the killer of classic and hot rod vehicles.

My neighbor has a Dodge Ram 2500 with a 6.4L Hemi with some issues.

It’s easy to make assumptions when diagnosing electrical problems. I made one when diagnosing a problem with the power windows on my 2005 Honda Element and it cost me.

The other day I spotted a stain under my Honda Element. Further investigation revealed I had a leaking right front brake caliper. Had I let this go, it could have caused a serious safety issue.

The phrase, “it’s hard to believe it’s been….”, seems dumb to say here. It’s really not hard to believe it’s been so long, for me anyway. I’m getting old! I don’t mind it.

I’ve seen a lot of debate about this topic over the years. Here’s my opinion on it after 30 years of working as a mechanic. Thank you for watching!

Safety is the most important consideration here.

Do you have a grinding noise when putting your TKO600 5 speed transmission into reverse? If so, I have a solution for you! I just learned this the other day and it works great.
