Someone to take the blown Y7

I already have one or two guys helping out in the area that I found through OhioHondas. Some still may come, and may bring more tools. One big item I still need is a large jack or a cherry picker.

Were shooting to start SATURDAY @ 10:00 AM, but I am guessing it will be a day long project.

Let me know if you'd be willing to help! I am paying for help!

 

^^ interesting.. this is a first I ever heard of doing.. GOOD luck!

 

Damm if you pay for my airplane ticket i'll be there

 

haha same here

 

Haha thanks. Gotta get this sucker in so I'm not stranded at school when finals are over!

 

i get off work at 8 so im out...cleavland ROCKS! cleavland ROCK! OHIOOOO!!! (drew carey show)

 

Hell yea! Some c-bus guys got down and dirty in the middle of the night and did work! Swap should be done tomorrow.

 

pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

i have heard that a cheery picker isnt needed if you jack up the jack and slide it over the motor then drop the car into place then raise the engine with a jack... i havent done this since i always had a cherry picker... put a posting on craigslist for the engine and im sure someone will grab it

 

haha watch you end up with like 10 people and get it knocked out in a couple hrs.

 

i would've helped out with your swap but c-bus is 2.5 hrs from me and i'm at work lol. Good luck with the swap and pics when you're done!

 

I'm in for updates, I'd like to know the outcome of this. If this happens successfully all of my faith in Honda-Tech will be restored.

 

well, maybe not all but at least it'll prove that there's still a few good people on HT

 

any updates yet?

 

How'd it go?
