I sure hope he's not. Are you sure you're running NO header and not OPEN header?

Actually I just recognized the screen name.
This guy is serious. He tries to do anything and everything that isn't RIGHT to do to an engine/car. Read some of his other masterpieces

don't knock too hard on a guy trying crazy stuff. I've owned many many hondas and I have tried some crazy stuff. Looking back , it was some pretty dumb stuff but I learned a TON from it. If its an issue of serious safety, than someone should step in and say something, but if a guy is just messing around then don't knock it. Nobody would ever discover anything new if they weren't messing around.

I would way rather hear about a guy trying something crazy and different than hear about some wuss talking about "takin it into the shop" because they are too afraid of grabbin a manual, some tools, and jumpin in.

more power to ya, my crazy, no-header friend.

Yea he's serious, he was 1 mm off the ground and ripped the header and studs off the head, then is going to jb welb the studs back in and hope they hole for the 1.5 sec after he turns the engine.

Goodluck.

Lol, i fixed it already. half ***. i put new studs and nuts on and they held.


but yea, it sometimes sounds like a 12 gauge shot gun shooting when it backfires. every once in a while. and i was wondering if i warped my exhaust valves.
