Honda CRV B20B Valve stem seal replacement.

In this video I show you how to replace the valve stem seals on a Honda b20b with out removing the cylinder head, belts or timing cover. after the repair I drove the CRV for a week and it no longer burns oil, It had previously been burning oil when it was hot at idle.

this is not a play by play how to video, its for advanced techs who know how to do most of this stuff already.

A trick to delay this project is to use Bars oil stop leak. Like I managed to delay this job for two years after I started to get morning smoking after idling to long before shutting off the night before. Well the water pump is leaking so time to do both of these jobs now. The B20B4 tool is available when googled and checked for use on the B20B4 for around $80 + ship & tax. I found a knock off on eBay that looks like yours and good for Mitsubishi 4G63 and 4G63T. I am getting the tool that is thicker like yours not the thinner ones. $33 for this one. This is a one time job for me so the $ make sense for me. Wish me luck.

Mine smokes during idle on drive in long lines or traffic for a min and goes away, I also have a 01 CRV. Is this the problem for that solution the valve seals?

How much time did it take you to do the whole job to replace the valve seals? Thanks.

Hey I am attempting to do my valve stem seal job the easy way as in your video. I am wondering once you get the belt zip tied to the cam shaft gears, if you just pulled both off without loosening the timing belt.

How much oil were you burning? I am just curious because on mine i am burning a quart every 600-700 miles.

Hey awesome video! I have a question. What problems did have that made you change the valve stem seals? My 1999 CRV is burning a lot of oil at idle and I did some research and it’s saying the valve stem seals. I also reas that I could have a burnt valve? Let me know what you think. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the vid! Would a valve clearance adjustment be necessary after?

I noticed the 3 notches vs the single one on the right side. Would the single notch still line the cams to the head too? Why did they design the other 3 notches for?

Ok where do you get the tool? I am having trouble finding a tool for a Honda b20b4 engine?.

[gueguense]

Whats the part number for the tool you’re using? Great video!

[TheFoxyPlayer]

I take it you have to adjust the valves after you’re done ?

[jamesdahmer]

how tightly pressed in do your seals go? I've damaged 2 by tapping too hard. but the old ones are easily 1/16" inch tighter into the head :S

Came here to see how to remove the stem seal... Only thing you didnt show...

[t.c.robinson]

You should have shown how much of a pain in the a$$ they are to remove. And also emphasized on how to tap on the new ones. Tap and listen for sound change, that means you have bottomed out. A good bright light as you tap on is a very good visual you can see them stop as they bottom out. As for removing you need a good old fashioned pair of pliers and squeeze them at the top and turn and squeeze and turn several times while wiggling and pulling, then they will pop off. Best figure on about 15 minutes per seal to get them off. Honda B20
