You positive the leak is from the head gasket? I thought mine was doing the same thing but it ended up being caused by an old distributor o-ring.

The way the motor sits any leak on that side of the motor will run towards that corner. I just hate to see you pull apart the motor and find out that wasnt the issue.

 

I have to agree.. That's happened to me as well. Thinking it was the gallery when it just happened to be the ;-)ring when I replaced an old distributor on an old b16 I was working with.. Double check that distributor first

 

If its a show car unloom and add the wire


Or use a wire from a sensor you dont use anymore and just move the pins

Vtec pressure sensor is one in that area. You can disable it in s300 and just make sure to check your oil.

Also good trick with the baby powder i never thought of that

 

dizzy oring was replaced two years ago.

i pulled the cam rails, cams journals, and lifted the exhaust cam up. returqued the one on that corner and the over cylinder four exhaust side. i never went back and retorqued them after the heat cycle after the headgasket last year. thats why i sprayed the baby powder in the bay to trace the leak

i do however need a vtec solenoid gasket.

 

think ive decide to just get a tach. im leaning towards the prosport pencil shift light.

i need to pull thr harness and geg rid of the stupid loom and rewrap my harness anyway. that was pose to be last winters project. the cars far from a showcar. just like things fairly organized

 

Valve cover gasket, cam plug, distributor o-ring, or VTEC solenoid gasket is usually the culprit of oil accumulating in that corner.

 

baby powder is wheres it at guys. it literally screams" im leaking from here". its all done and good now. just tried of wrenching.

side note,.... far as driveability, i notice no difference in part throttle or cruise. wot had a noticeable kick. i left my gap the same at.30. and the typical cranking times are killen me. i wana up the dwell times so bad.

i was gona do a cpr startup and gsc n1 idle video but i was burnt and hungry

 

If you dont plan to replace anything else and dont want the stock tach then yea


If its not a show car just route the wire out of the loom and get the stock one working then fix it later when you redo the harness

 

most likely the plan. problem with the wire outside the loom, is the increased risk of damage to the wire

 

so my a19 pin is blank. even before i installed the cpr and harness, on my jumper harness had two icm pins in a21. the tach on 99-00 gets its signal from the ecu. so im thinkin of pinning one or both of the existing a21 pins to a19. the blue wire from the dizzy has always been a dead pin tho. i think the pins are gona be dead pins do to the ignitor being deleted.

headache lol

 

^^Uggh. ECU-based management. All of it is a headache

 

well for me its a headache because ive only went thru the ecu one other time before. and that was just to verify power to something.

so after more reading, it sounds pinning obd2b a19 back to obd1 a21. the second wire of the two that i said was pinned together was b13( obd2b icm).

now, if it still doesnt work, then im ordering the pencil tach

 

boom. got my tach back. i just repinned that double wire back to a21. the obd2b b13 was a dead pin anyway from the ignitor being deleted. so i didnt clip it.

no i just need some brighter light output for the tach. i thought bout leds. any ideas

 

My ecu is set to use the CEL as shift light do you already have this?

 

yea s300 has the mil shift lift. but, i dont want that light coming on unless its a problem

 

I see. My CEL still functions as normally. I also have done a mod to have the SI logo in my cluster to light up......
However neither one its not the best option as its kinda hard to keep your eye on the cluster.

LEDS are definitely an option but your still gonna need the circuit from a shift light to trigger the LED, at that point depends on how far you want to take it. I have found that single LED's are difficult to see in the day

 

i ordered eight red #74s from superbrightleds for the back of the cluster yesterday. should be here before satuday

 

Oh Nice Hopefully you will be able to shine the light through Depending on the area it can be difficult top shine the light through what seems to be paint.
I needed to lightly sand the backside when I did my Glowing SI symbol mod.

Mounting them can be tricky as well. I used Aluminum Multi-Purpose Foil Tape with success

 

yea itll be a first timer for me. ive always wanted to get some leds. i doubt ill be doing any sanding or taking the faces apart. just bulb changes hopefully

 

Post pics

Does that site have an led for the dome light?

 

ill drop a link. i suck at copuing images from the web

https://www.superbrightleds.com/cat/...-/23-359-231-/

looks like they have domes also

 

I got my Dome light off ebay been running it for a year or so... I love it its actually bright and you can see stuff at night lol. just type the bulb number followed by led on ebay. I think I got a pack of 3 with a bunch of adapters to different bulb types for about $8

 

UPDATE!

i got the led's in the cluster. they didnt really fit in the oem sockets tight. so i think one or two of the bulbs vibrated loose causing my fuel and engine temp side of the cluster to have the oem hue. ill post pics tomorrow.


oh... i got banned also for being suspect of a troll account for some dudes in gdd lol

 

Nice to have u back I was wondering who this black joker guy was copying other ppls names lol

 

Just a heads up, circumventing a ban is a really good way to get IP banned. Try to see if you can get your original account back.

Now you know why I don't **** with GDD lol
