Hey prelude guys i need some help. Im pulling a H23 shortblock on monday,(building a H23/H22VTEC hybrid for my del Sol). I need a list of tools that im gonna need to do this at a local U Pull It. Thanks. Hopefully ill be on the H bandwagon soon

 

**BTW im just taking the block+oilpan, crank, rods and pistons. Thanks

 

It the block assembled with a head and tranny in a car?

Exactly

 

you are basically going to need a set of sockets. from 10mm probably up to whatever size the hub nuts are. you say you are just taking the block? it still requires a pull of the entire motor, tranny and all.

if they dont supply a hoist, you will need that, a full range of sockets, air tools help

 

Two of the most important things that I can think of are a pickle fork, rent from autozone, and a hammer or sledge to hit it and a 50 mm crank pully bolt holder to get the accessory pully off to remove the t belt. Of course you will need to have a range of screw drivers both flat and phillips, metric sockets up to 19 mm including some 12 point sockets to remove the clutch and flywheel. I would recomend removing the whole longblock and tranny as an assembly because one of the hoist hooks is on the tranny and the other is attached to the ps pump which is on the head. I will post if I think of anything else.

edit: forgot metric set of box ended wrenches and of course the manual with step by step instructions.

 

Great.. thanks for all the quick responses guys. Im going to do as much as i can without the hoist then let them finish pulling it. This way ill save some money that can go towards the VTEC head

 

Sounds like fun ...

should be well worth it in the end

 

Well thanks for the help guys i just pulled the block this morning. Paid $35 for the full shortblock with 50,000 miles on it .Ill be pulling it apart tonight to check out the bottom end but the cylinders look damn good. Thanks again
