I watched all four videos on the engine change. Thank you for your response to one commenter indicating what lead to the need for the replacement engine. I may have to do this swap on my daughter's CR-V, as she ran it low on oil - even after I told her specifically to check the oil at every fuel fillup. Still runs, no milkshake in pan or oil in coolant, but CEL is on and there is noise on cold startup. I figure a stretched chain. Can get a JDM engine here locally for $1250, so may have to go this route. I don't have a lift to get the engine out the bottom, so I was hoping out the top was a doable proposition. Thanks for the video.
No. Thank you for watching the videos. Every comment, like, view, subscribe, is a plus for my channel. I really hope that they were helpful and encouraging for you to undertake your project. I really didn’t know if it was possible to remove the engine from the top and that is why I decided to make the video! Thanks again for supporting my channel! Hope you have a wonderful day!
Thanks for the video, I will use it as a reference. I feel like I will be replacing my daughter's car engine soon. Not looking forward, but cheaper than a mechanic shop.
Thanks for the video, I have pulled this motor once from the bottom and looking to try it out the top. Ive got a donor crv that I will be swapping into my late father's/only owner 03 crv with a cracked block. Hopefully you can open yourself up to tips/advice/input.
Thanks for watching the video. Always open the helping So I may be a little slow on responding. The only thing I would do differently is bag my hardware specifically where it came from and mark each bag. Make sure to support the transmission with a jack that you can move up and down. Be careful, careful and try to have fun! Duane
This old engine would have run longer BUT my grandson is a new driver and ran it with the coolant low. blew a head gasket, we tore it down and did a valve job... but saw some scoring on the #2 cylinder, put it back together as an oil burner. Got 15,000 more miles out of it and decided to make the change the engine while the car was here for a rear suspension rebuild. Thanks for watching! Go for 5000,000!
Overhead is the big driver on the costs! EST. 10 hours out and 10 hours in, not counting all the wait time on the seal, engine/transmission mounts. If there are no issues! And there is always issues LOL ! No doubt more in labor than the cost of the engine. Thanks for watching. More videos on the way. Hope life is treating you well!

Your welcome! Bagging and tagging the parts would have made reassembling much easier!

How much would a reputable mom and pop charge for this i wonder ? These engines are fairly cheap on the market from what ive seen compared to others.
