hey guys its been a while i haven't posted anything here well here i decided to build my ef after its been long 6 months on my drive way due to a bent valve and in need of new clutch and fly wheel...

earlier i was planning to pull the head cylinder out earlier but im still a nooby on this it took me 4 hours just to get the head cylinder ready to be pulled out, then i found out a lot of problem under the car i saw oil+tranny fluid dripping everywhere. So i decided to rebuild my whole engine and clean all that nasty oil tranny fluid under the car and beside i need to rebuild the front end of my car due to an accident that happen last year. So i have question to ask can someone give me a write up of how to take off an engine on my 90 Si civic. so here are some pic of what i did earlier i really need help on this one guys im new at rebuilding engine and frame of the car...

its been sitting down there for 6 months

what i did earlier

idk tried to take the head cylinder

that is what my car look like after the whole day hehe

 

buy a haynes manual and have at it!

 

yeah i bought a manual and i even download a shop manual but it really confuses me, i need like pictures showing me which is needed to do and what to put hehe sorry for the noobness

 

The service manual is basically 90% pictures and diagrams, what specific questions do you have that we can clarify?

 

like there is some part that i need to unhook and it says on the manual and i dont see it on the picture or i dont know where its located but here's the question what else do i need to take a look and make sure that is not connected before i go ahead and take the head cylinder off.

 

Just dive in man its really all common sense. Unhook all wiring, fuel lines, shift linkage, exhaust, axles etc...remove everything in the way Radiator, alternator etc...

Latch onto engine with Cherry picker and carefully remove it.

Bag and label all bots. Be safe!!!!!!!!!!!

 

General opinion believes Haynes should stick to making underwear and that people serious about working on there car should invest in the official Honda service manual/Helm's manual.

 

it serves its purpose. Its no holy grail guide to the EF but hell, it gives the general guidlines to perform repairs. If its that complicated for the OP to decode simple instructions from a step by step book, maybe he should leave it to a pro.

I wouldnt invest in anything more untill i got a basic understanding of removing parts.

 

i got the head cylinder off now time to take the tranny out since i dont have cherry picker ill just remove it one by one on my car so it would be light to carry the block.. thanks for the advice

 

i have the shop manual that i download months ago thats actually what im using it has a lot of stuff in it and its hella thick i guess im using the right manual for my car... thanks for the advice too

 

ok here are some pic of whats been going on in my build can you guys tell me what can i use to clean the oil inside the fuel injector


it looks like its really bad

do i need a new piston also?

dang oil build up

my fuel injector it has oil inside wth?!?!

my cylinder head

bent valves


so my next step is to clean this and later on take the tranny out and the block, any suggestion please feel free to tell me what do i need to do i need help on this guys

THANKS...

 

hey good luck with the rebuild. im just about to finish mine. if you wanna see any pics or have any questions. PM me and/or check out my build thread in my sig

 

fuel injector? those are your valves... and your valve stem seals are leaking and thats where the oil is coming from.

 

yeah i just notice that right now i thought i put the fuel injector pic in here hehe thanks for the correcting hehe

 

so here is the update i just cleaned my fuel injector and i found a brake cleaner that cleanse the build up oil inside it did a pretty good job but i know its not for that but it works so here are some pics

before the clean up

the build up oil

now after clean up

closer look


its 1:38 pm and its still early but im low on budget that made me stop rebuilding and oh yeah do i need to get a new fuel injector since it has 200k miles already?

 

i just finish cleaning my head cylinder and i checked if there is a bent valve but it turns out that there wasnt a bent valve its just my camshaft gear is loosen and thats the reason why my car isnt working, and when i went to the shop they told me its a bent valve what a rip off. while checkin my valves i accidentaly lost the lock for the valves where can i get this i only need the 1 of the half of the lock and should i go change my valves too? need help guys

 

update for my project had a hard time taking the freakn axle nut, end up taking the axle while the disc rotor stuck in it and bringing it to the shop to get it off. and mail drop something for me and ive been waiting for this for a long time.
