In this episode of Fixing it Forward I work on the engine in the 2005 Honda Odyssey. I replace the timing belt and water pump, valve cover gaskets, spark plugs, rear catalytic converter, side engine mount, transmission fluid, battery and battery terminals.
I also perform a compression test on the engine as well as talk about the VCM system and how some people like to delete it.
There is still quite a bit of work to do on this Odyssey, but I’ve made a lot of progress bringing it back. I hope you find it entertaining and educational.

Eric: So what's the best conductive metal?
Me:Gold
Eric:You think it's gold?
Me:😶
Great video, what about the valve adjustment since the high mileage on the van
Older Honda Quality with 100% metal…Sadly now were seeing way to plastic on engines…
My 2006 Odyssey has the VCM. It's an EX-L.
Eric when hooking up the remote starter did you have to deactivate the fuel pump or is the pump not activated at all seeing that the ignition key is off ? The remote starter setup battery positive to starter positive. I have a remote starter switch from years ago and it’s still like brand new. It’s when Sears was sponsored by Roger Penske. I still have the entire tuneup set with case. Any issue with using it ? Just checking if there is something I should know on these newer cars ? Stay Dirty loooooooog time subscriber to premium channel and your specific videos for purchase. Thanks for all the years of sharing your Honda videos and knowledge. 🇺🇸 Artie
When my dad got a 2001 Odyssey, it was driving fine till it was getting misfires …we found one of the spark plug's metal end that makes contact with the coil broken. And it was working like that
@8:56 – nowadays one must also taken into account the possibility of counterfeit sparkplugs as well.

ETCG: Q: why does it sound like a v8? (@ 34:11) ??? cool.
I thought the VCM system was introduced on the 2008 Honda Odyssey.
Should have finished the video before commenting. Lol!
I was literally thinking if you every have shop fires when you were torching those bolts, glad to see it went safely.
I always found the rear cylinder head way cleaner than the front one
