Hoser's Pilot Technical Information Center
Welcome to the Brightside the best Pilot Odyssey Tech info center on the web!
Thanks to all that contribute and help others in need.

Still Have Questions? Just ask here

This page is pretty much all Honda Pilot stuff, I started this page so I could reduce the amount of stuff 
on the Technical Information Center page and pull some stuff off my main page in efforts to make it load faster :-)

Most of the stuff you will see here was generated wile I was working on my Pilot making repairs, my Pilot has 
had a long and hard life, I bough it 3rd hand, the first owner abused the Pilot from day one and never did any 
maintenance the second owner bought it and made some repairs but never really had it long enough to put to 
many hours on it before he sold the Pilot to me, most people that have rode with me can tell you that I don't baby 
my Pilot around either.

I put this material here so others could see what parts I have replaced, why they failed and what they should 
be looking for or can expect to replace in the future on their Pilot

My Pilot Rebuild (Updated 7-3-00 porting ) (pressure testing a Pilot engine.) by hoser..

"Engine rebuilding is nearly impossible without the right tools. Some guys try to use the “caveman” 
method—big hammers and chisels. As a result, they usually do some stupid thing that ruins expensive 
engine components." A good start is to buy and read a factory service manual, it is a invaluable tool 
and includes pictures so you can see what is inside before you pry it apart.
