recently broke overhead cam shaft on my 1993 Honda Accord. Is there a do it yourself way or do I need a mech.?

Answer 1

On overhead cam it's not difficult, get a manual, it's important for at least the torque settings.

Answer 2

remove the valve cover. slide the follower off of the pivot by compressing the spring slightly, being careful not to push down too hard to prevent the damage of which ever valve you are working on. This valve will hit the top of the piston, thereby damaging the piston top and warping the valve. Once all followers are removed, you may need to raise the engine, or remove the radiator. New cams can be installed on used bearings, but not used cams on used surfaces. Repeat for all other 15 followers.

Answer 3

The problem is, why did it break? If you dropped the shaft on the floor, no big deal to replace it. But if the bearings seized up or something like that, the engine is probably too badly damaged to repair.

Answer 4

for that broken just need to get a new one if you know your way around a car or if you are familiar with honda. is berry eazy
to do

Answer 5

i have no way of knowing how good of a tech you are, but these hondas are simple. if you have reasonable skills and knowledge, go ahead. get a haynes or mitchell manual and read it thouroghly.
