Re: Head Gasket?

I gotta be honest, I've done head gaskets before without resurfacing and gone 100k and still going. You wanna let me borrow your car for a couple weeks while I do it that'd be great. I'm tired of...

Re: FelPro Oil Pan Gaskets...USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

I followed the manual and torqued them from the inside out in three steps. Believe what you want but I know what the hell I'm doing. Its a defective part. I'm done defending myself.

Re: FelPro Oil Pan Gaskets...USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

I don't know about you guys but I don't want to use a gasket that tears apart like its made out of paper around the bolt holes. Under light even pressure (by hand when playing with the old gaskets)...

Re: Head Gasket?

It was definitely the head gasket leaking oil. I of course failed to take pictures of the bottom side of the head, but there were two obvious clean spots...

Got a 96 Accord EX (F22B1) and have been plagued by an oil leak/burning. Its been getting harder to start and I was thinking valve stem seals so I replaced those last week. However I cheated, and...

Valve Stem Seals

Thought I'd post because there's nothing on the forum really about changing valve stem seals. For starters I have a 96 Accord EX with the F22B1...so lots of extra little rocker arms and springs to...

Oil leak/gear ratio/cat questions...its old after all

Re: Getting a code 45 (not a typo)

At 2200rpm low throttle I can almost always get it to hesitate/miss. Went on 500 mile roadtrip in cold weather and at times was wide open and it would just bog down with no power. I also could...

Re: 93 Accord hesistation issue

Climbing to redline after letting off the throttle sounds like an ignition/ECU issue to me but its hard to say for sure. I'd start by replacing sparkplugs, wires, cap, and rotor...set you back maybe...

Re: Getting a code 45 (not a typo)

Engine off it still reads 9% throttle, which leads me to think the TPS is either faulty or is out of adjustment (I know the screw holes give it some play).

Re: Getting a code 45 (not a typo)

Well cleaning the EGR ports didn't fix the problem and the CEL came back. I replaced the fuel pressure regulator as well and it didn't go away.

Finally I got a nice Actron 9580 scanner and...
