Adjusting the timing on my 2000 Honda Accord v6 and Google’s AI tells me to not undo that nut on the bottom end at all costs and instead says to put the whole thing in a C clamp and press it till I can slide an allen wrench into that hole, while youtube videos say to undo the nut and do a whole bunch else while using the bracket. I don’t have a bracket. Is there any way I can complete this job without spending any more money?

Extremely impressed and it's exceeded my expectations. I should have bought an Accord years ago.

Hey yall, I’m thinking about getting a 2010 accord coupe v6. Probably not a manual because I can’t find any around me, so I’m wondering something. Is the VCM that bad of an issue? Would doing a VCM delete at say 100k miles be too late? Any feedback helps.

Anyone tryed to pull the wheels off on one of these what’s the best way ps Ik my wife will be pissed about the mess lol. Edit I hit the shafts with a hammer lightly and they came right off

Well, part 2... Started the CVT cooler install. Had to take off everything I installed from yesterday minus the intercooler. Swapped out the top cvt filter, adding the ETL sandwich plate, ran all the hoses, used the ETL cooler plus an additional cooler (Miami FL, nuff said).

I also added the Ktuner display image, little run down, Did a 20 miles run up to Sawgrass Mall and back home. It did creep slowly. The intake dropped to 91F with the ambient temps were 85-86F so, the snorkel is doing it's job. I maintained a good 85-90MPH speed and then punched it to 120MPH (yes, pretty fast but I had to benchmark it with non-real world testing) all-in-all, max temp I got it to was 206F... Best case scenario was 180F (unrealistic but one could hope) real target was 220F...

Before the cooler kit install similar drives would be well into 230F maxing out at 250F (this is a 240 miles drive from Miami to Orlando.

Internet says too high is 230F and usually it is always up there, I choose not to believe this, because this was happening before I flashed it. Operation temps 150F for the cvt warmer to bring up the temps... 20 miles drive to or from work it usually gets to 203F in stop and go traffic, I will find this out tomorrow.

I'm really happy with the turn out, though. Just have to keep an eye on possible leaks. Everything is great :).
