Thank you for your help You mean Chilton, right!? I'll take your suggestion it into consideration. Thank you for your help!

Hi newb The motor still in the Del Sol, which I drove the rest of summer in 06. Like I said; the car ran fine, except for the occasional puff of smoke...Its been storaged since For now, I just don't have the time to disassemble the cylinder head, and check what the problem might be. I have a...

newb Its not you I was alluding to, if anything you helped and posted some good advise, I don't understand the lol part, but its ok...And; I don't the think the world revolves around me:rolleyes: Thanks

Thanks, I do have one. Although I no longer have the the fresh 16 old mind to memorize it all... I do notice something, that some of you guys are short on helpfull advise and long on critisism

First of all I never stated that the valve stem seals where not changed, I said I didn't recall because its been a while since I originally posted the problem... You can't expect me to remember every detail after over two years. By no means, I'm no expert in cylinder head rebuilding, that is why...

hey hondacivicdx92 Thank you for sound advice! What are you 16? People like me, come to this forum for sound advise, not to be told to go read and memorize a book! If I had the time and inclination to read and memorize a whole book I wouldn't need you, would I...

Any O rings I should pay special attention to? I did follow the torque "specs" and also the torquedown sequence pattern. Did say that my torque wrench might not be very precise, I will rent a better one and retorque all of the head bolts. I do recall installing new valve STEM seal also Do...

Thanks for your responses guys! I don't know why; I was only notified today. But I did do the that job over two years ago... I do recall torking the head bolts to specs! I asked if maybe I might have under torked them, either because maybe my torque wrench might not be precise, or maybe beacause...

No, I'm sorry to say I didn't! Since it ran fine... No, I'm sorry to say I didn't! Since it ran fine... Should I not be able to tell if the compression is lower? The car runs just as good, if not better than before! I will run the test though, that should tell if there's a problem with...

Hi, I hope you'll be able to give some advice as to what might be wrong with my engine. Here is a bit of back ground; '95 VTEC Del Sol. Recently installed a new timing belt, and though it ran fine after assembly, I noticed some puffs of white smoke when on acceleration, did not smoke when...

Hi again reikoshea, can you give me a brief description on how you would replace your lower A-frame ball joint? Thanks

If you're talking about the Tie Rod End ball joint, you are right! The whole job took me 15 minutes, but replacing the A frame lower ball joint looks to me like a lot work!

Non of the ball joint boots are ripped or leaking, the only one that was (the one on the tie rod end), I changed! I'd love to change the lower ball joint, but I'd hate to go through all that trouble (it looks like a lot of work...) if the joint is good. Also wanted to ask you guys about your...

Replaced all of the valves, because of a broken timing belt. Runs fine, but after sitting overnight or really revving, I get what it looks like white smoke, I'm not sure about the color though, it could be bluish gray... Could valve seals be causing this, I didn't change them! Also could...

I've already replaced one ball joint Hi reikoshea, I've already replaced the only suspect ball joint, the "Tie Rod End" (because the ball joint was leaking), I even bought a lower ball joint, but I didn't ghange it, because it looks ok! Is there a way to test a ball joint, aside from...

Hi all, I was hoping you could help me with an annoying problem with my '95 vtec. It steers and run ok, except when ever driving over a slightly uneven surface, the front left suspension will emit what it seems like a chattering sound, I think I can even feel it too! Any help will be appreciate...

OK guys I'm convinced, my car is worthless! Thanks for your responses guys, I get the message! I guess I'll have to wait untill next year to challenge this Subaru guy, it sounds like its gone take more than a Honda 1.6lt engine to take on this guy. By the then my SD455 T/A should be ready, I...

I must admit... I must admit the response was not quite as notable or as bad as the one I had over at another Honda forum, supposedly a Del Sol forum! I got 29 responses, and all of them negative, telling me how I was going to get raped and killed, and how my Del Sol is not even a close...

" my Subaru WRX will trash your Del Sol VTEC" That's what a guy at work told me, he said that he wouldn't even consider taking me on, because my car is a "run of the mill grocery getter" and that there was nothing special about a Del Sol. I pointed out that my VTEC is nothing to sneeze at, and...

I'm going out there, and look for that plug right now! I'm going to give it another try R! No luck! Sorry...
