Last Wednesday I blew my motor on the interstate. I may have spiked it or just overrevved. However I pulled the valve cover off and saw coolant in my head so I know I have a blown headgasket. Did a leakdown test: cyl 1 and 3 are good, 2 is not so good and 4 is gone. Tonight I'm going to pull off my head and hope that it's just a blown head gasket and not a bent rod or bent valves or whatever. If so, here will be my new daily driver build.


Sleeve my block

700cc+ injectors

Hondata

Eagle Rods

JE Pistons

Cometic Head Gasket

ACL Bearings

ARP head studs


Fix my tie rod boots, oil pan gasket and rear main seal. Put in my stage 3 clutch and an air/fuel gauge.

Should be done by the end of February or March-ish.

I will keep you updated as the build continues.

 

Here I am draining the oil, check out the grey murky color. (radiator fluid and oil mixed)


About to take the cams and gears out of my head.


Notice the radiator fluid?


Cams and gears out.


Don't ask, but this is how Acura techs take off the intake manifold.


and this is the conclusion to my blown motor.

 

that sucks.kinda makes me think this happened to my car

 

It's not fun, but it's pretty cool if you've never torn down a motor.

 

Interesting

 

nice build-up ...can you help me with something... i know I can use a B18 GSR port/polish head on a B16 short block but what do i need to do so...?please help

 

ohh nice

 

nice

 

Good luck on the new build.

 

good start to the project

 

good luck on the build...i remember my first build ( my first honda too ) i bought it torn apart and had to put it all back together with zero knowledge of honda's or pretty much cars at that point tore that motor apart twice in the time i had it ( its a fun job most of the time )

 

700cc injectors? isn't that a bit much for an all motor build? that is good for a decent turbo build
