Re: AC problem

Gotcha. Thanks for the info. Also, when I filled the new compressor with oil, I put it in the low side (big hole). I read many different methods, but went that way. Will that be ok?

Re: AC problem

I'm not real sure. The guy that did it just used 2 small cans of 134. Not sure of the weight. He charged it with the little handheld system like you get at the parts store, which kinda surprised me.

Re: 97 Civic EX Exedy clutch issues

Wanted to add that it also has a bad vibration when letting out on the clutch at low speeds and when your downshifting. Would having a flywheel that was machined down too much cause any issues?

Re: 97 civic ex/ new head valves still ticking and oil leak

It was leaking out of the top triangle part between it and the head. It was a bad leak. I just put a small bead of rtv around it and torqued it back down. It is holding good now.
