Icon7 Intro - old timer Honda Specialist! :-)

Greeting boys & girls! Short intro here. I'm a 58 year-old divorced guy. Former auto mechanic (many years ago). I've owned, crashed, fixed & restored 17 Hondas (cars & motorcycles) so far (since 1974), including an Accord and MANY Civics. My current daily driver is an '02 Honda Civic LX with 185 K miles on it that I just replaced the head gasket on and had 0.006" milled off the cylinder head. Now the car runs & looks like new! :-)



'02 Honda Civic LX 1.7 with 185,000 miles! :-)



Cylinder head before & after shaving 0.006" NO MORE COOLANT LOSS! :-)

Welcome, welcome

Uh oh, .006" shaved off, she's a high compression beast now!

Even after the SLIGHT increase in compression, I can still use regular (low octane) gas and not have any ping! :-)
