The manual says to just press the new seal into the housing. I am wondering because when I removed the old seals, there was some kind of glue or gasket material on them.

Do I need to put any hondabond on the seals before installing them in the oil pump and right side cover?

The primer was high temp up to 500 degrees

I am about to put the crankshaft seals in the right side cover and oil pump and I'm wondering if I need to use any type of liquid gasket to seal them together. Also, the service manual says to use non-hardening liquid gasket to the mating surfaces when installing them on the block. Any...

I just finished painting my EW1 block. The prep work was a pain but it came out pretty good.

Got it off with a hammer. A couple of taps broke it loose.

I am rebuilding my EW1 and I am stuck trying to get the oil pump off. I have all the bolts off but it is sealed on to the block. Any tricks to getting this off?

I took it to a shop and the guy had it off in 2 seconds with an impact wernch. He wouldnt take a tip either. Thanks for the idea K2e2vin

Thanks for the tip. I'll give that adhesion promoter a try. I think i'll go with black for the bay and a yellow on the engine.

Thanks for the info

What exactly should I do to prep the old paint? I was planning on just sanding all the old grease and grime off the old paint and wiping it down with a tack cloth before I paint. Should that be good enough? I have most of it done except some on the drovers side. This is what it looks like...

This is a daily driver so it doesnt need to be a perfect paint job. I just want it to hold up and look clean. I was also thinking about painting the engine block. Is that going overboard?

Thanks, I think driving it to a shop would be the easiest way and give the guy a 15 dollar tip.

I have everything pulled out of the engine bay on my 86 crx hf. Right now I am working on rebuilding the engine but I want to get the bay cleaned up before I put the engine back in. I already painted the frames under the fenders with spray cans as a test before I do the whole engine bay. It...

That looks really clean. Nice job! I'd like to try that on my crx. What material did you use for the door panel?

I am starting my first engine rebuild on my 86 CRX HF(EW1) After the rebuild is done, will I have to have the crankshaft pulley ballanced if I am putting the stock pulley back on or just when you change the pulley?

I am stuck trying to get the nut off of the cranksfaft pulley. The starter method won't work for me since the engine is out of the car. Are there any tricks to getting this off besides an impact wrench?

There is a scratch in one of the cylinders. Will I need to have them bored?

I was able to download in pdf format a shop service manual on hondahookup.com. There is a version for the 86 civic and a suppliment for the crx. It shows step by step how to remove and instal certain parts, but it is not a step by step guide to rebuild an engine. I can use it for torque specs...
