may i never have to deal with a car someone else modded ever again. I will be happy if inever have to use a air hammer or chisel again... someone mutilated 3 of my CRX's ehaust mani nuts, beyond conventional removal... they were a bitch to say the least. They slowed me down so much my del Sol has to spend the night outside If i could get the damn crank pulley bolt off, i could be almost done with this headswap.... too bad i dont have any tools at home that are worth a damn.

 

boom boom d boom

He was in 5th and wanted to go to 4th but accidentally went to 2nd. You can actually see where the rod went up into the head then back down through the block

Happen to have anymore pics of your rear panel here? I need a replacement due to damage when my project car was stolen before I bought it, and I figure an "upgrade" might be nice

im just praying its valve stem seals

 

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by WrongWD &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">im just praying its valve stem seals</TD></TR></TABLE>Could be since I would imagine it happened at a high RPM when you downshifted. If it were something else it would probably burn oil consistently, but the puff you saw is more than likely caused by the big jump in RPMs and the valve seals being worn. Sounds about right to me at least

 

i failed emissions last month for high hydro carbons. I put new plugs in and cleaned the K&N filter and then passed but hydro is still kinda high. I also noticed a dip in my MPG too. I drive the same and usually get 29 in the city and i'm like 24 now. any thoughts?

 

Very true, I have an espelir on mine and it sounds and looks great. Unfortunately my car is wrecked right now and in the process of being put back together

try changing your spark plug wires, add some fuel injector cleaner, and doing an oil and filter change as well..

Yeh i'm going to do those also. I had just changed the oil like a month prior to the first failed emissions check. It's just odd that the gas mileage dropped so sudden. I only drive it about 500 miles a month. I think i will start using a lil thicker oil too.

 

damn ****** it's thanksgiving day here...slackers
