Sounds like a pretty good plan, think you could work a beer or two in there somewhere, that would make it even better.

89' Project Civic · 05-28-2009, 10:28 PM

You literally had me Laughing My Ass Off. If it wern't for the fact that I think ROFL would be insane I would be doing that, hehe. That sounds like a good plan, can you make the list again and just put beside each item how many miles are on them?.

Ethan · 05-29-2009, 01:32 AM

i don't even know how many miles are on my engine.
i know it burns no oil at all. ill be checking it out when i get it out and apart.
im sure ill be changing more too. id like to do the DIY poly mounts and a couple other things.

ohhh and trust me the beer will be flowing!

Ethan · 06-13-2009, 02:55 PM

time to do some work boys! Im getting ready to do some work on the hatch. updates will be posted asap!

89' Project Civic · 06-13-2009, 03:54 PM

Awesome, what plans do you currently have for it?

Ethan · 06-13-2009, 05:21 PM

right now im just fixin shit i haven't had time for. what should i use to clean the head/block surface?

89' Project Civic · 06-13-2009, 05:47 PM

you should use engine degreaser and a wire brush. What I personally did was use a wire brush on a drill and took all the crap off that way then sprayed it with Alumi-Blast spray bomb. This may not be the case for you because I am assuming your head and block are in the car, whereas my head, block, and transmission were out of the car which made it possible. If you are cleaning the head and block with a power-washer but MAKE SURE you apply bags and tape them around essential parts that the engine should not get water in. Try buying an engine foaming degreaser and let it sit for a little while than clean it off after 15mins. Good luck, man.

BoostedHatch · 06-13-2009, 06:47 PM

power clean works wonders

Ethan · 06-13-2009, 07:49 PM

thanks guys! be back soon.

Ethan · 06-13-2009, 09:20 PM

I got the head and block clean and installed the head and head gasket. but i got rained out here are some shitty pics for you guys.

GlassHeadlights · 06-14-2009, 01:10 AM

Lol. I have the same Haynes book and the same Fel-Pro headgsaket.

They're good gaskets, mine has been used with 3 (three) different motors and its still good.

I don't use Valvoline oil and Fram filters anymore...OEM filters and Mobil Synthetic FTW!

Ethan · 06-14-2009, 09:21 AM

I just grabbed it i always change the oil 100 miles after a head gasket. so i didn't really care what it was. ill be busy on it today hopefully more pics.

Corona FTW.

Ethan · 06-14-2009, 09:55 AM

Ohh and ill be usin one of my honda oil filters when i change it.

Ethan · 06-24-2009, 03:00 AM

New plans! drop in my new/old d16a6 with its mpfi and then later on rebuild and put on a z6 head.

90hondahatcherEF · 06-24-2009, 02:25 PM

The easiest swap is the D16a6/D16z6 "mini-me" engine swap. I went the D16a6/D16y8 route and it is much harder because I am constantly having to buy more and more frankenstein parts and I have to keep researching parts that will be compatible to my engine. If you need any help PM me or start a thread and I will be sure to help you!!
