I've researched and researched and I cannot find what this is exactly called but I'm sending my head out to hot tank and this little heater hose that goes to the head is jimmy rigged so I want to order new one but I don't know what it is called.


It is circled in red.

On another note, I finally found my source of misfireing. I checked this cylinder on a compression test and it had zero. This is why, notice the holes.

 

First off, get some of this stuff.

What you have circled isn't a hose, it's a plug, I think it's the oil pressure switch that's normally under the dizzy?

 

Isn't that a electrical plug? possibly temp sender. That would definatly give you bad compression.

 

Oh well my mechanic who is doing it told me it is a heater hose running into the head, he said replace it so I thought that was it. Im a noooob sorry.

 

yeah, that valve looks like some from my first engine project that i did about 8 years ago - rebuilding the head off my 89 integra

good luck

 

Yeah man I'm hoping it runs alot better, it is getting hot tanked/milled. Replacing all new valves, seals, and gaskets. After this runs for a while it will be an engine swap so. I <3 my EF so I can't just see it go away because of this. Only has 148k so.

 

yea that thing circled in red is the wire for you temperature sending unit for your guage....there is a heater hose that is near there, it goes from the head to the heater control valve, but what is circled def isn't a hose

 

cool. way to take care of the EF.
just make sure you get TDC in cylinder #1 right when you put her back together. have someone experienced help, if possible. i screwed it up on my old integra and the engine was shot and i wasted all my time and money... i was a super noob and i wasn't on honda-tech back then (was anyone?)

 

Well lucky me I have a certified honda tech that is working side by side with me helping me so I learn my stuff. It is awesome experience

 

The thing you circled looks like a one wire (yellow with green tracer) connector for the coolant temp. sensor that works the coolant temp gauge in your gauge cluster.

 

Unless you are attempting to circle the heater hose behind it which can become a resident of hack city when being removed from a 16+ year old vehicle, in which case your tech. recommended replacement I would and get a factory honda clamp. You could put your freshly rebuilt dual point head on only to overheat because of the leaking heater hose. I also have to give you props for ripping that head off your self.

 

The assistance of the honda tech there was nice because If I had any questions he answered them and showed me what to do. Its a learning experience

 

Holy **** man. If your valve is that messed up on that cylinder, I can't imagine that the rings are in great shape either, but ya never know. Just something to think about. How many miles are on this engine?

 

148,000

 

148k is just getting broken in!! Should be great afterwards...Good luck..

That is what I'm hoping for!

 

whats up with the pic of the heads valve that has a hole in it?

 

its a carbon deposit buildup that burned through the valve when cruising at 70 mph on the tollway.
