I figured I'd post a few pics of the rebuild I'm working on this week. Not much else to do and I can answer questions if anyone is thinking about doing their own.


Putting the new valve stem seals on. Mic'd everything while I was at it.


Guy that had this engine before me tried to rtv the lma holder! ha!


Cam lubed up, new lma holder and torqued it all down.


Just seeing what my diy paintjob on the valve cover looks like.

 

OK i race at sauble speedway and i am doing the complete swap lk from DPFI to MPFI so i put the whole wiring harness in now the engine is siting on the floor in my shop what do i need to do to it while it is out things i have already done to it are... replace water bypass tube and o rings cleaned the screen in the vtec... replaced the thermostat and cleaned up the intake ( got it nice and shiny in side and out got all that black crap out of it lol...) thanks Will G

 

Well as long as it was running good before I'd try to do as little as possible! If it ain't broke.. If the engine is really greasy like there are some slow oil leaks I'd get a gasket kit from autozone. Oil pan, head, cam front, spark plug tube seals, etc. felpro kit for about $100. It has some gaskets and seals that you won't really need though unless you plan on taking it all apart.

 

OK thanks... now i have some tokico shocks are they a lot stiffer than stock or? and i also bought a light weight fly wheel 11 pounds will that give me good acceleration ...

 

o and i also got a ajustable timeing gear that will alow me to set my power band where i want it right ? but my main question is the stock cam gear has like a tapered key in it and the ajustable one does not what does that mean do you know?...

 

I can't say about your shocks. you should get better throttle response with a lighter flywheel, but I think 11lbs is just under the weight of the stock one isn't it?

 

You need a woodruff key to lock your cam and cam gear. I used some from a b18 I had laying around, you can order it from honda.

 

ok thanks man

 

hey Mann can i use a s20 transmission from a 92-95 civic in a 91 civic Si cause of the d16z6 that i have in it now it wont wok with the 91 Si tranny no speed sensor so can i use a s20 in my 91 and do they have a s20 with cable clutch not hydraulic

 

do i need to replace the valves and valve springs? Im adding a stage one cam. I did the easy stuff like replace the pumps and belts and gaskets. This is my first rebuild in terms of a slightly tuned motor.

 

Does the manufacturer suggest you install different springs? It's not that hard to do. If you're replacing the gaskets you should do the valve oil seals too anyhow.

 

Bearings finally came in the mail


Just laying the head on for the night. I'll put everything else on sometime this weekend.
