why do you thin that, hondas are a zero tolerance engine so damage will likely occur, when was the timing belt done, they should be done no later than 100,000 miles.newer cars 60,000 miles
I would think that you would not need much done, if the timing belt was just changed, but perhaps your transmission servicing should still be done, as that would not have been done with the belt change. Of course, your normal oil changes need to be done too.
A synthetic is good if you don't mind going 15 to 20,000 miles between changes. If you're one of the compulsives that change oil every 3000 or 5000 miles, don't bother with synthetics, because they're expensive. You probly need a thinner grade of oil, tho, like a 5-20. Thinner grades will help your gas mileage, but check your manual.
that code is for a Vtech system malfunction. check your oil level if its ok you should bring the car to honda unless you can handle a multimeter and have oil presure gages and the basic knowledge of how to use these items.
Hello;
Before you start to pull the crank out, check your oil pressure via an independent gage. Then if you have around 25-30 psi gage, drain some oil out. Put a quart of Marvel Mystery Oil in and top off . Change oil filter. Drive the truck for a few miles. Change the oil and filter. This should start to break away the sludge that is built up.
You may need to do this up to 10 times before you can go 3000 miles on an oil change.
Now if the oil pressure is extremely low, yes you can change the crank in chassis. I have done it in a pinch before. It is much easier to pull the engine and put a crank in. If the crank is bad, you also have a rod that is bad. You also need to clean all the parts or emminent failure will occur.
I would also change the knock sensors on your truck as well. Hope this helps. Rate me high.
Thanks;
