BACKGROUND

American HondaeBay logo is extending the warranty coverage on the Piston Rings and Pistons for 2008-11 Accord L4 to 8 years from the original date of purchase or 125,000 miles, whichever comes first.

The warranty extension does not apply to any vehicle that has ever been declared a total loss or sold for salvage by a financial institution or insurer, or has a branded, or similar tittle under any state’s law. To check for vehicle eligibility, you must do a VIN status inquiry.

Some vehicles may be affected by S/B 11-049, Product Update: Software Update to Improve Fuel Injector and VTC Timing. Do an iN VIN status inquiry, and if the product update applies, make sure you update the vehicle before continuing with this warranty extension.

Additionally, there are three Tech2Tech videos for reference:

 

CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION

Owners of affected vehicles will receive a notification of this warranty extension.  Do an iN VIN status inquiry to make sure the vehicle is shown as eligible.

 

SYMPTOM

The engine oil level is low on the dipstick, and the oil warning light may come on in rare high oil consumption situations.

 

POSSIBLE CAUSES

Under certain specific circumstances the engine may create deposits on the oil control rings, which may lead to increased oil consumption when all of the following conditions occur simultaneously on a regular and prolonged basis:

  • The engine is cold (not warmed up to operating temperature)
  • Hard acceleration while the engine is cold
  • The fuel used has an unusually high concentration of particles – HondaeBay logo recommends using Top Tier gas that contains detergents to prevent deposits. For more information about Top Tier gas, go to www.toptiergas.com.

All these conditions happening at the same time is rare, but if they do, deposits may form over years of driving. If the oil control rings begin to stick because of the deposits, the customer may subsequently complain about excessive oil consumption.

 

CORRECTIVE ACTION

Do the procedure under DIAGNOSIS and based on your results, replace all of the engine pistons and piston rings if necessary.

Service Advisor: Talk to the customer about the many factors contributing to oil consumption. Remind him or her that with less frequent service intervals for modern engines, it’s not uncommon to add oil between services. Therefore, it’s a good idea to check the engine oil regularly (as recommended in the owner’s manual) and add oil as necessary.

Piston SET A (STD) (Dealer must determine how many to order)13010-R40-A00 
13010-R40-A00 Car Engine Piston Ring Set Compatible For Honda Accord Acura Odyssey CR-V 2008-2014
  • Product Introduction: This product is the core moving component inside the cylinder of an automobile engine. Piston rings are usually composed of gas rings and oil rings. It is a cylindrical structure that forms an effective seal between the piston and cylinder wall, preventing high-temperature and high-pressure gases from entering the crankcase from the combustion chamber
  • Fuel economy: Good sealing means more complete combustion and less energy loss. After replacing the piston ring kit, the engine can use fuel more efficiently, significantly reducing fuel consumption and returning to a healthy state.
  • Production materials: Our product uses higher grade aluminum alloy materials and surface treatments than the original factory, which have higher wear resistance and anti bite properties, thereby extending the engine life after major repairs.
  • Solving the problem of oil burning: One of the main reasons for oil burning in old engines is the wear, carbon buildup, or loss of elasticity of piston rings (especially oil rings). Replacing the entire set of new piston rings can fundamentally restore normal oil scraping ability, effectively control the entry of oil into the combustion chamber, and solve the stubborn problem of oil burning.
  • Easy installation: Our product has undergone rigorous testing and is consistent with your original car, ready to use. If you are unsure if your product is suitable, please send me pictures of your old product and the chassis number information, and we will help you answer.

DIAGNOSIS

1. Do an engine oil consumption test. Refer to the Job Aid Engine Oil Consumption Test.

2. Review the results of the engine oil consumption test.

  • Based on the test results, if the engine is consuming an unusually high amount of oil, contact your DPSM for approval, then go to REPAIR PROCEDURE.
  • Based on the test results, if the engine is consuming a normal amount of engine oil, the vehicle is OK. Explain to the customer that the vehicle is OK, and that the consumption of oil is within a normal range.

NOTE

Remind the customer to regularly check the engine oil level every time they fill the fuel tank. Modern engines require less frequent oil changes, which may impact the amount of oil used between oil changes.

 

REPAIR PROCEDURE

This procedure is an outline form that you can also use as a checklist for the repair. For details on the procedures noted, refer to the appropriate service manual, or view them online.

Note

Inspection Tool and or Tech2Tech “Using Cylinder Wall Inspection Tool”.

NOTE

Do not use finger nail or pencil lead to determine if engine block is usable. Always use the cylinder wall inspection tool to inspect any scratches. Light to moderate scratches that may be detected with your finger nail, but do not affect the engine, will pass when using the cylinder wall inspection tool.

  • If the engine block is good, go to the next step.
  • If the engine block is no good, replace the engine block. The pistons and rings in the new engine block do not need to be replaced. This bulletin no longer applies. You must obtain DPSM authorization and refer online to Engine Removal and Installation to reinstall the engine.

 

 

 

 

34. Remove the rod caps and the bearings.

NOTES

  • Before removing the rod caps, use a grease pencil or suitable marking pen to mark each cap and its corresponding connecting rod with the cylinder number it came from.
  • Do not confuse the existing marking on the side of the connecting rod and rod cap with a cylinder number. They are just manufacturing marks referring to the size of the big end of the rod.
  • Installing a rod cap incorrectly will result in engine knock and/or engine failure. Remove and mark one rod assembly at a time to make sure it is assembled correctly.
  • When torqueing the rod cap bolts, refer to the service information for details.
  • Click HERE to go to the Tech2Tech® video “Tips When Working with Fracture Rods”.

 

35. Use a wooden hammer handle to drive out each of the piston and connecting rod assemblies.

NOTE

Be careful not to damage the cylinder walls or the crankshaft when pushing out the pistons and the connecting rod assemblies.

36. Visually inspect all the connecting rod bearing for signs of damage.

NOTES

  • If your fingernail catches on a scratch or groove in the bearing, replace it. Pictured are normal reusable rod bearings after about 35,000 miles. Some discoloration is normal and does not require replacement.
  • If the bearings look like they must be replaced, contact your DPSM for authorization.

 

37. Measure the diameter of each connecting rod bolt at points A and B.

 

37.1. Calculate the difference in diameter between points A and B:

  • Point A – Point B = Difference in Diameter
  • Difference in Diameter Specification: 0 – 0.1 mm (0.004 in.)
  • If the difference in diameter is out of specification, replace the connecting rod bolt.

 

38. Put on eye protection, then remove the snap rings from both sides of each piston. Start at the cutout in the piston pin bore. Remove the snap rings carefully so they don’t go flying or get lost.

 

39. Put on gloves, heat the piston and the small end of the connecting rod to about 158°F (70°C), then remove the piston pin.

NOTE

The old piston, the pin, and the snap rings won’t be reused.

 

40. Install a new piston pin snap ring on one side of a new piston.

 

41. Coat the piston pin bore in the piston, the bore in the connecting rod, and the piston pin with new engine oil.

43. Assemble the piston and the connecting rod with the arrow and the embossed mark on the same side. Install the piston pin.

NOTE

When the piston and the rod end are heated properly, the piston pin should slide into position relatively easily. You will damage the piston if you try to use a hammer or a press to force the piston pin in.

 

44. Install the remaining snap ring.

 

45. Turn the snap ring in the ring grooves until the end gaps are positioned at the bottom of the piston.

46. Repeat steps 38 through 45 for the remaining pistons.

47. Using a piston ring expander, install the spacer and two oil rings. Then install the second ring and top ring with the manufacturing marks facing up. The second ring has a “2” followed by a letter or letters. The top ring has a “1” followed by a letter or letters.

NOTE

The new rings may not have the same manufacturing marks as the originals.

 

48. Rotate the rings in their grooves to make sure they do not bind.

49. Position the ring end gaps as shown.

 

50. Rotate the crankshaft so that cylinders 1 and 4 are at bottom dead center (BDC).

51. Remove the connecting rod cap to piston 1, and check that the bearing is securely in place.

52. Apply new engine oil to the piston, the inside of the ring compressor, the cylinder bore, and the rod bearings.

NOTE

Cylinder wall honing is NOT required for this repair.

53. Position the mark to face the cam chain end of the engine block.

 

54. Set the piston in the ring compressor, and position the piston in the cylinder based on the rod/cap marks that you made in step 34.

 

55. Set the ring compressor on the piston bore, then push the piston in with your hands.

 

56. Stop after the ring compressor pops free, and check the connecting rod-to-rod journal alignment before pushing the piston into place.

57. Apply new engine oil to the bolt threads, then install the connecting rod cap with the bearing. Torque the bolts to 41 N·m (30 lb-ft).

58. Tighten the connecting rod bolts an additional 120°.

NOTE

If you tighten a rod bolt beyond the specified angle, remove it and repeat steps 57 and 58. Do not loosen the bolt back to the specified angle.

 

59. Repeat steps 47 through 58 for piston number 4.

60. Rotate the crankshaft so that cylinders 2 and 3 are at bottom dead center (BDC).

61. Repeat steps 47 through 58 for piston number 2 and 3.

62. Rotate the crankshaft several times after all connecting rods have been installed to ensure that nothing is binding.

63. Install the baffle plate, and torque the bolts to 12 N·m (8.7 lb-ft).

ORDERING PISTONS

Every engine has some combination of A- and B-sized pistons. You can determine the sizes and their locations in the block by inspecting the markings on the timing chain end of the engine block or by looking at the pistons. If you look at the piston, the pistons have identifiers; “A” pistons are unmarked; “B” pistons are marked with a “B”. Make sure you order the appropriate number of each piston size before starting work.
