do you still have the originals on the car? if so, its a bitch, but if you get a big pair of channel lock pliers and squeeze the washer hard while you turn, it should pop out, at least mine did.

make sure you have a new washer & that lil crush washer thing, and also mine did not come with new jam nuts, it wasn't a big deal, i was able to reuse the originals.

its pretty straight forward, just be careful with the boot, and find a good write-up to follow if you have never done them before.

 

Well this thread hasnt been moving very far lately. We need some nice single cam pics up in this biotch! Has anyone here done a crazy valve cover like this one? Im curious as to what it takes to make a beautiful work of art like this one.

 

The best I can do, its -18 outside right now so I haven't seen my car in about 4 days...

 

Hey jhammond_82 thats a really good deal man i might hit up the junk yards tomorrow and i can prolly get you those valve cover bolts if you want. Shipping shouldnt be much.

single cam fan how much did you get your tires for i have been looking for that size nobody in my town carries them. and pep boys want like $320$ for 205-50-15 and they futuras.

 

having the bolts isn't that bad, i got those already, thanks though. the bad part is, the bolt is actually still in the head. so far down in the hole, that the top part of the hole is filled with oil. i'm gonna have to take it to a machine shop.

 

and thanks for the kind words also!

 

it is 21 here. it was 10 yesterday.

 

Nothing too great going on under the hood for the moment. Should have a header for it in the next couple days. Waitin on the weather to get warmer before I start cleaning and painting the vc.

 

Look here:

nice civic! i always likes the cleanliness of the 4dr front bumper

 

Just checking in, I finally got some hours back and im working in the afternoons now but ive had my kids every night and ive been taking them to school in the morning, but ill be on tonight to see whats been going on

 

Thanks. Wish this winter weather was over with so I can get to work on it. We got about 3" of snow yesterday here in GA.

 

We got one inch in VA last night

 

yeah i need warmer weather here so i can fix my paint and wheels and get to work on the other things...and it is currently snowing here in NY

 

i got a problem i slammed my civic and now my down pipe and cat scrapes right were they come together, its annoying, any suggestions on how to fix it i thought about heating the down pipe and bending it back up, sound like a good idea or bad idea

 

if it crush bends then that gets worse flow so you could remove the flange and weld the cat and down pipe together

 

new to this thread...heres pics



me and buddy rish (me d16z6, him d16y8)





great for street



or track

 

you said your friend has a D, that looks more like a J from an accord!!!

 

i thought about that but i really dont want to weld it all together in case i want to run a test pipe, the down pipe comes down at an angle were the cat meets and i think it just slowly bent down, i wonder if i could just get another down pipe and it fix it, but every i know have one piece headers and mine is 2

 

Nice car hatchaneg, I gotta agree with that weird cover or whatever it is it totally looks like a v6 in that hatch.

 

yeah, i think i spied a j swap too! but, i like the coupe too.

 

thats a clean ej1 you got there hatchaneg, what kind of turbo setup are you running? Any interior pictures of that beast?
