Re: The mystery of the dry and empty oil filter

I can see that a bad anti-drainback valve might let most of the oil drain out. But since the filter is mounted sideways, shouldn't some oil remain in the filter? There is no oil in the filter, nada

Re: New engine in CRX, but a problem, need suggestions

The engine bogging problem is mostly better now.

Replacing the fuel filter helped, but I suspect this just gave a boost to a weak fuel pump. I have ordered a fuel pressure gauge, and will see if...

The trans is a bit complicated, they all take the L3 trans, but the DX, SI and HF all have different gear ratios inside. The 88 trans also had a different number of splines on the input shaft. I...

That looks like the rear engine mount? If so that would be a 12mm bolt. Make sure the thread pitch matches the replacement bolt, and make sure you have the drill bit size the heli-coil kit says to...

Re: Pictures of factory honed cylinder walls-D16A6

Very good deal on that B18 block
I paid $2200 for mine, and was glad to find it.
I looked all over for a decent rebuilt D16A6 or D16Z6 short block, and couldn't find one.
