This is my first time doing this so be gentle with me

So this is what and how we did it.
We put a new 96 head with crower stage 1 cams and crower springs and retainers.

this is me
Thats not a pair of socks in my pocket i'm just really happy


it is going into an ef
this is with the stock head



first remove the stock head




now it's off





the new stuff






And those were some damn dirty looking pistons




so like ten min and some carb cleaner and a brush and you get this
And yes real men wear purple gloves


Then install the new head onto the block with a NEW headgasket
I found it easier to install the intake manifold out of the car



then finish installing the stuff and time the car and valve time the head



this is our super cool timing cover we made


Then clean up the garage and change into something nice

yes it is posible to look this good






All done



Be careful
this makes allot of power and u might not be able to handle it.
So powerful it crushed my intake....



or i forgot to tighten it down and it fell off and i ran it over

ok i'm done now

thats funny haha

 

whats the chain on the hood for? is that a hood lock or something?

 

Yeah my car was recently stolen and they pulled my alarm and threw it with out triggering it, so my friend welded a chain to the underside and i lock it now so it won't happen again.

that sucks! did you have a hood sensor? i hear the best place to mount those sensors are in the back where it cant be grabbed, theres also tilt hood sensors (as opposed to the switch type) which cannot be bypassed but they require some fine tuning. another thing is to reroute the hood latch cable through the engine bay. check out the security/alarm threads on here if you havent already.
here's a real good site http://causeforalarm.thecarthi....html

 

haha, i did that same thing to my intake. Pretty embarasing. But oh well, good reason to get a new one.

 

looks good do u have any whole car picks u going to throw up

 

Yeah i was a freakin smart guy and put my alarm on one click that night so only the ignition would set it off, last time i do that.
I will put up some pick of m car later today
my friend has my camera

 

what did you adjust the valves to after the crower cams i have a set of crower stage 1 cams in my ls and need to know wat to adjust valves at.

 

We valve timed it to stock but now we are haveing a little idle trouble

 

awsome dude your should have a lot of fun in the hatch or crx which ever one you have it in
funny aswell

 

yeah we put mine at stock and my car as well has idling problems. guess ill have to contact crower and see exactly where to set them at. thanks

 

were going to try to figure it out today and i'll make sure to put up the answer on here for you.

 

ok thanks hope you figure it out.

 

who needs turbo or a supercharger when u got suction like that

 

IT idles ok but its like a bat out of hell when we punch it

 

here you go for more pics of the full car
