SOO WHAT IM REALLY POSTING THIS FOR IS TO SEE IF THERES ANY TIPS ANY OF YALL GOT FOR ME??? IVE BEEN READIN DIY FOR MONTHS AND FEEL PRETTY CONFIDENT.. SO ANY TIPS???

 

turn off the caps lock.

 

My suggestion is: TURN OFF YOUR MOTHER ******* CAPS LOCK!!!!

Nobody wants to read that garbage when it is in all CAPS...

 

first tip.. please dont write in all caps. nobody is going to read your thread. its a headache.

just take your time on the build. if you want it done right, dont rush anything and double/triple check all torque specs. theres not too many tips that people can give you beyond that. GL with the build!

 

My bad my bad i forgot that Honda-Tech dont automaticlly change it... But yeah I plan on takn my time thats for sure... I have a question tho in a few DIY the used "alcohal" to clean the deck of the block, pistons and valve... Anyone care to back that up?
