if your block is covered in baked-on oil crusties, you'll have to use engine degreaser...strong stuff, smells odd and acidy, but works great when combined with a brush and a hose. just don't leave it on metals for too long, i think it'll etch.

i've got that gap as well, but i think it may be me not putting back the interior correctly when i gutted it once.

and yes, that plug is for the sunroof incase your motor dies..uses a big allen key i believe.

When I took my EH3 out of storage, **** was so dry, it shook the roof when retracting lmao. I sprayed some WD-40 on the rails and it works great. The only problem I have with my moonroof is the rubber weather seal. It touches the body so when I pop it up with the middle button it pops fine the first time but I can't pop it again if i close it. I have to press the button and give it a little push with my hand. I heard I need to put some petroleum lube on the seal so that it pops no problem.

WD-40 for the rails work great though! Apply it from outside

WD-40 worked like magic, sprayed it on there and it hasn't bothered me since.

lol. PWN this noob.

EG-BOY, you need to quote the post that you found pagesssss and pages before this one. A K swap is expensive and you need to know what youre doing. Also hard to install, theyre harder than most honda swaps as there is a lot involved. Don't bother.

That's a little wrong. Simple green concentrate or simple green left on paint (when not properly rinsed) can damage your paint. I say this since I could soak a stock wrinkle black valve cover in simple green and it would lift and remove the stock powder coating with little to no effort (and that was in a diluted concentrate).

X2 dont leave the simple green on your paint.

One tip for cleaning your bay is to drive it around and do it while under the hood is sill warm, the grease comes off easier that way.

Also I would not use WD40 on your sunroof, it is oil not grease. WD40 actually works pretty good at getting rid of grease. As far as what to use? I have no clue I have never had to grease either of mine.

I have some Honda brake grease that would probably work. I also have some other brand but the Honda stuff is hardcore.

The 2nd part of his explination is true. Check out this link on how to remove paint from a model.

http://www.rollinwaaagh.com/2008/11/...ple-green.html

I had once used simple green to wash my car, figured to let it sit and maybe it would help clean it better, well I come back 10 minutes later and I noticed some color off my car was in the water when I rised my car off.

For the sunroof rails you guys should be using a heavy grease. WD40 will not remain for long periods of time. Try a grease made specifically for bearings or window regulators. I have some Nissan window regulator grease that works great.
