Must be the cell phone pics. The head is mint.

You see what I"m talking about in the photo right? Might want to double check to be sure..

 

[eg6sir]

Ya, it looks like a piece chipped off and you can see the top of the spring. I would def double check that before you drop a valve.

it looks like someone tried to hold it with either a visegrip or a wrong tool for the job of some sort... the tops should be straight and smooth all the way across. i dont doubt that the head isnt mint, but looks to be hacked from where im sitting dude. thosse are def tool marks...

Definitely looks butchered. Probably just cosmetic. The camera many times picks up stuff not readily noticed by the eye.

I think its from someone getting all gorilla when taking the retainers off. But that would mean its not a fresh head only serviced by Acura. Some backyard muscle was used sometime in its past. But why were they taken off???? Thats my concern.

That may be, but it doesn't take much damage for a retainer to fail. And when it does...

Yes indeed - failure would likely turn the engine into a recycling event. Certainly not worth risking it. When in doubt, I would change them for sure. But, Brad claims it's nothing but "Camera Magic" - so, I'll figure he's right as he knows what to look for.

Haha you guys are humorous. I can assure you the retainers are a-ok. I see what LOOKS like damage but it must be glare form my cell phone camera.

I got the motor and trans cleaned to my satisfactions.

Random shots.

Typical Honda owner, can only fill up $20 at a time hahaha

Car looks clean in white, I hope that's dirt on the quarters

 

[GlassHeadlights]

Hey $20 goes a long way in a Honda.

Nope, it's quite rusty.

 

[RoughKnight]

What's your gas out there? 87 is right now $1.22

 

[GlassHeadlights]

1.259. Not far off.

 

[E_SolSi]

just got pissed the fuck off for a moment.... then i realized "oh yeah... liters"

 

[GlassHeadlights]

Haha yeah you're still cheaper.

 

[GlassHeadlights]

New wheel color! It looks exceptional for $10 paint, no prep work (only washed) and high humidity.

 

[double0Si]

Finally. Looks awesome.
