Damn **** turned to ice. Plan is to put motor facing down on dolley and roll it under. I could go out and break the ice with this couple pound hammer i got.. but we know thats not going to happen. Have a job now! Been there for a month, and i like it there so i will try keeping that job for awhile. Still have my sights for that toda valvetrain. Maybe expect to see a port and polish head along? Who knows lol

If you have to put the project on hold do it, but save up man. You never know what could happen down the line, plus even though jobless rate has dropped you might have a hard time finding another job so yeah try to keep this one. Just don't think its chill and start slacking, get your day to day task done and then chill.

You already know.

Im saving up for a new crank amd brearings just in case it starts knocking. Im pretty sure it wont, but them mains are tight. We will know in couple weeks.

Been a while since i updated. But anyway, started to put the motor in today. Had to stop because im lifting it in, and im an inch under the frame, and the bitxh is heavy as hell! Should be nice tomorrow so, should be in and hopefully started.

Ah so close! Need to get that tranny mainshaft to fit in the motor. Didnt use a clutch pilot tool since i can eyeball pretty damn well.. might have to drop the tranny again and see if the disk is properly aligned. Wil update today.. heres my new toy 😊

Got my clutch tool finally!! Last thing i needed to get my trans connected.. thatll probablt happen tomorrow after work. Hope she runs..

Big *** bump! The car lives! Car fired up, but not without its issues. My stock single cam ecu couldnt start the car,so I decided to use the aftermarket ECU that my brother got me and turns out the car started up just fine. I now have to put the coolant in and bleed the system out but I think the car should be good to go. but I just found out that the the holes. The transmission bolt up to is stripped out so I have to go to some type of hardware store or order online to get time inserts so if anyone knows the sizes for the bolts I would appreciate it I know its 17 millimeter but I do not know the thread pitch. so I won't actually be able to drive the car until I get those but I know that the car starts up just fine and I'm happy that is not locking. I was running at maybe 40 to 50 psi of oil pressure and I think it's within the limits sorry for the punctuation or lack of punctuation I'm using the voice feature on my phone because it is too much to text. I will upload a video via YouTube and I will posted in the link or in the thread thank you for looking out on my thread!

Transmission to Block Bolts are (3) M12 x 1.25 x 70mm , (2) M12 x 1.25 x 65mm
Stiffener to Trans Bolts are M12 x 1.25 x 50mm and M12 x 1.25 x 35mm
Front Trans Mount to Trans are M12 x 64mm and should also be 1.25

ALSO, this

Its safe to say that Honda likely stuck with the general JIS thread pitch for use in its aluminum engine assemblies (metric "fine" thread for M12 is 1.25)

If anyone actually knows better than my 15 minutes of google, by all means educate us.

Yea i figured it last night actually lol, it sucks because i have to spend 92 bucks for a time sert kit smh.. gotta pay to play i suppose!

The head of the bolt is not the size. Get yourself a digital caliper or a caliper so you can measure this stuff.

You might ask if a machine shop can do the timesert for you. If they have the tool it could be only labor and a small piece.

ferio-ichi3

I know what the pitch is already. And id hate to take the motor back out to lug all the way to the machine shop. Besides, i dont mind spending the money to learn a new thing lol.

ferio-ichi3

Going to upload that video tomorrow. Theres a weird sound going on, and i have no clue what it could be. Maybe one of you ***** can tell me what it sounds like. It kind of sounds like coolant splushing around? Keep an eye for the video.

tony_2018

Sure.

ferio-ichi3

Theres the link. Im not sure how to paste the actual video in here, but whatever lol. Listen!

Did it by itself lol

tony_2018

God damn exhaust....can't hear ****

ferio-ichi3

Lol yeaa, i should get that fixed.

ferio-ichi3

So i got the wrong time set kit. I got 12x1.5 instead of 1.25 lol. I called up a fastener shop and they have 12x1.5 grade 10 bolts are are 65mm. Ill have 5 new bolts by monday, but ill have the time sert installed tomorrow... Hopefully!

lolz

ferio-ichi3

Lol... Anywayzzz, big update:

Got my time sert kit:

i ordered m12x1.5 instead of 12x1.25 lol...Wasnt hard to do, but i did mess up the bottom tranny hole. Had to bore it out some . Heres the first one..
everything is back to where it should be. Im still waiting for the bolts to come from my local hardware shop. Should be here by monday. Im excited. Engine update. Im leaking oil from cyl 1 and 4, could be that the rings arent seated fully yet, and i think all my water/coolant has been burnt off. Doing a full test on monday, before i pull the car out, and break the motor in.. lets see how that goes!!
