What year is your DC? I'm curious because I plan to boost mine soon...what modifcations did you do to the car?

perfict thanks

 

u run a boosted teg @ 24psi and dont know how to remove the head ??

 

just looking for tips to make it easyer , already did it took not even 2 hrs

 

buy a helm's

 

is that the one that has like over 1000 pages and has pretty much anything you need to know about the car including torque specs?, because iv seen those and wanted to buy one but their like 90 bucks.

 

Remove Valve Cover
Remove Intake manifold (clean off old gasket w/ Gum Cutter)
Remove the cams and the intake/exhaust lobes dont mix em up or else it will suck when you put em back (TIP: LABEL A BOX INTAKE on one side and EXHAUST on the Other then tape em down so they wont get lost.

Remove the head studs

remove head

Resurface head and while your at it replace valve seals to prevent oil burning down the road

mkay, removing the head isn't a challenge, reinstalling everything is the challenge.

You probably blew the headgasket doggin out mommy's hatch on the way home from the library... and now you have to fix it.

$60 when I bought mine. It will have alot about your car. Removing the head is a bit of work.
Integra Integra has the right idea.
The cams wont seat right if you install them incorrectly because one drives the distributor with a slit on the end.
Pulling the head means you gotta remove the timing belt, and that isn't something you wanna reuse.

 

only takes me 30min or less to remove my head.

 

why remove the intake mani jus to replace a head gasket save time and money buy just leaving it on

 

ive taken off my head 3 times already and now i can do it in less than an hour and remember all the torque specs and tightening sequences for all the bolts in the head, its all really easy, no hard parts just long tedious parts like torqueing the head studs down in sequence, disconnecting all the coolant lines that run to the head and intake manifold, and most of all, making sure the cam gears and crank pulley are all on top dead center together and gettin the timing belt on while keeping them centered.

I used to take off the intake manifold first and realized that its easier to just keep it on the head the entire time, this way you wont need to replace the intake manifold gasket either(unless ur a lucky bastard and have a hondata gasket or somethin similar).

Good luck, no real help hear just had to share my view, i used a manual the first time though.

Why bother, just get (4) M100's and drop them in where the spark plugs would be and light those bad boys. I swear that head will be off in in less than a second

 

to get them to blow at the same time would be a challenge though
how bout two half sticks in plugs 2 and 3's holes
