I’m planning on replacing my MTF (my E is 4 years old @ 60K miles, and this service is prior to the minimum required mileage or time). Appears to be a very simple operation. However, I realized it might be tricky to get the new MTF back in—opening for same is on a vertical plane. What’s the recommended procedure &/or tool?
The local Honda dealer parts dude stated they had what is effectively a very large syringe, but couldn’t tell me where they got it or what it was called. Anyone know where to find same?
I asked the parts dude for a M/T crush washer. He asked for year and model, pulled up the parts on his computer, and concluded it is the same as the crankcase crush washer. Can anyone confirm or deny this? The service manual doesn't specify a P/N as far as I can see. Obviously I can compare my OEM crankcase crush washers to what comes off of the M/T, but I like to have replacement parts in hand BEFORE I begin a service.
