How can there be an indestructible Honda? Foot repair of the 8th generation Civic engine in 2008

September 5, 2024

background introduction

December 2008 Eighth Generation Civic 1.8L hand wave
Ferrari with red sunroof and fixed speed cruise,
Manual cruise, characteristics of the times
Now it seems very weird and OUT
An era in which manual transmission is gradually being eliminated
And I have two cars with manual transmission
The MQ200 is also a very legendary hand wave
It is also fragrant in the public sentiment car
The car is second-hand, but feelings are indeed first-hand
It started with more than 90,000 kilometers and has traveled 10,000 kilometers so far
The car is repaired while driving, and the more you drive, the more satisfied you become
100,000 kilometers of eight-generation Civic
I am in my prime and have not contributed
But I can’t resist the ravages of time
No matter how strong your body is, it cannot withstand the wind and rain
The shaking of the car body has reached the point of disgust
Investigate the reason, think about it again and again
It turned out that the engine foot was broken
Universal forum search
Only then did I realize that this was a common problem for Civic
Studying various restoration options
It was finally decided to keep the original machine feet
By adding machine foot pads
Increase the height of the engine foot
Restore its former tranquility
Let the eight generations in their prime of life be Civic
Don’t hesitate when things happen, flowing smoothly

First take a look at the effect

The gap before operation of the machine foot is 0, and it has been in contact for a long time;
Start shaking, different frequency
Tell Crazy Shake to let him be free
The gap after the machine foot surgery is about 5MM, which is a perfect distance,
The test run effect is very good, the start is not shaking,
There is no shaking between 95km/h and 105 km/h,
100kmh is flowing and flowing, as quiet as a virgin,

surgical preparation

17mm socket and wrench, the upper right foot and the lower right foot are both used with this socket, which can be done in one piece

Self-processed gasket, thickness 5–6mm, cut out the positioning groove, pay attention to anti-rust treatment, spray anti-rust paint, no photo taken here

Surgery in progress

Before removing the screws, use the car’s own jack and a wooden board to hold the engine, and remove the three screws on the upper foot in turn

The screws at the top of the suspension tower on the upper foot are very long and have been seriously rusty. Make them rust. In addition, the invisible small corners of the Eighth Generation Civic are easy to rust, and you need to pay special attention to repair them when preparing them yourself.

rust

The engine compartment is still clean. Although the old car is old, it still needs to be clean, just like clothes can be worn with old models, but it needs to be clean to have spirit.

After the 3 screws are removed, the whole picture is full of metal texture and shiny

Look at it from a different horizontal angle

Looking at it vertically, there is the fourth screw in the middle, which is the screw that fixes the rubber seat.

This space is really small and it is troublesome to operate. You need to find an angle that suits you to reach out. At this angle, you can see that the rubber has completely broken off and separated.

The removed foot rubber, the broken piece

The removed rubber top for the foot of the machine. Looking at it from the side, it is from 2008 and has been in service for more than 12 years. It is very dry

The original plan was to put two washers. Considering that the screw rod was only less than 30mm, the machine foot was 10mm, and the two washers were 10mm, the threads on the rubber were less than 10mm, so I didn’t dare to put so much, so I only put one piece in the end.

Put two pieces on it

Finish, the surgery is over

The height of a spacer has a very obvious effect. Continue to track the use effect and gap changes.

The entire interior has been cleaned up very cleanly.
Wherever you can see, it is the original factory texture;
Smooth wherever your hands reach
The new handle feels first-class

106,000 kilometers, with the texture of the original car driving, and another 50,000 kilometers will be fought
