We'll after doing my '97 B18B into the `92 - CX over the weekend I can only say satisfaction. The only hardest thing to get out was that stupid "PIN" for the linkage fom the TEG. Even with the right set of PUNCHES it took me 40minutes to take it out by slowly tapping it out. Go figure I even had the car on a lift.
Everything went smooth, but know I need some tips on cleaning my NEW Engine, since I got it a little dirty from dirt and what not. Since the Valve cover is black everything shows.

All tips welcome >>>>>


And just as an FYI, yes the Integra Cat-Back exhaust fits on the Hatches, I am using it right now for temp use and it fits like a glove no more no less >>>

So to everyone out there who did not belive me, I am proof of that.

Lots of Simple Green...good stuff
Drench the motor in it..let it sit for a few minutes..spray it off with water..has always worked great for my engines

 

An air chisel with the right size punch works wonders on those pesky pins.

 

Yeah, then I used the Air chisel, and tapped the rest out manually about 1/4" of the way >>>>>

 

That damn pin and removing the starter are the two things I dread most about pulling my tranny again. getting the pin back in there was about as bad as getting it out. I did it with jackstands raised only two notches. My airtools were stolen and I never got a replacement airchisel. that stupid pin was the only thing I ever used it for.

 

wait a sec hybrid projects are never complete.

 

Just be sure to cover up any exposed wiring you might have. Like the distributor.
