Works like original starter

Installed this starter on a 2008 Honda Accord EX. Followed the instructions in several YouTube videos and everything works as advertised. Lessons Learned: 1. It takes about 2 hours to disassemble and assemble everything.2. While you have your intake manifold removed, spray gumout on the valves to get rid of the gunk.3. Be careful with the plastic cover that surrounds the electrical connections on the starter. It's a little fragile.4. You will need a long handled ratchet (or iron pipe) as some of the screws are very tight.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
