^Wow^ couldn't imagine that.

Hopefully this will ride better. I'll see if I can get a parking lot picture or something. I also moved the steering wheel. I just have to wait for my parents to come home so I can try it all out.

Thanks boys.

I hate my wheels tho. I at least want my stocks back.

My parents are camping for a couple of days and I can't drive without them so imma do my Mini-Me swap. Actually its a bit pointless bc I haven't hit over 4k, it will be for looks. :)
 
Fuck...Just took off the head but when I took off the timing belt it was super loose! Like the "mechanic" didn't touch the tensioner. Its a good thing I'm taking this apart right now but I'm now worried about my bottom end, the "mechanic" took it apart too. :ph34r: :(
 
You have owned too many clean EFs, this one being my favorite. :thumbsup:
 
Notice I got rid of the fire-wall MAP. After this thing is running reliably I'm going to wrap the header.

And yes my bay is dirty, I heard Simple Green is good.
 
or greased lightning..looks like your going to get it running before i do
 
SHE'S ALIVE! Yay!

Timing was way off at first but I got that straightned out. After that it started right up. I didn't let it warm up because I still have to get a longer IACV hose. It also sounded like I had a vacuum leak still from my Y8 manifold but I'll get to that after I get some coolant in there and its actually ran for awhile.

My parents took the camera so I'll have to get a video up later.

So far I found:

A loose timing belt
A bolt missing from the water pump
Drivers motor mount was loose, all three bolts
Crank pulley bolt was loose

The damn thing was about to self-destruct.

Holy balls, almost sounds like it would be worth it to do a mild tear-down and check everything, whoever worked on it last was obviously a hack.
 
lol the mount.crank pulley bolt and loose timing belt would all be from him..he had to change the timing belt

Yeah, I'm glad I took it apart but I'm worried about my bottom end, especially if I'm going to hit 7000 RPMs.

Yeah that and there is a new water pump in there so it all makes sence.

Got a longer hose, put some coolant in, set the timing and went for a 1 hr ish drive. I kept it under 4k until we were righht by home, then I hit 5.5k...It was my first VTEC experence.:)
