transmission...should it be that dirty!? Dunno.
stock rusted clutch/flywheel. Upon observation not very much wear, just tons of rust.

Fidanza FW and CM stage 3 clutch

Jun Header

I noticed yesterday (when conferring with a friend) that I'm missing some essential parts:

Cable shifter bracket on the tranny housing that holds the cable shift linkage in place.
Transmission studs for the mount on the end of the tranny.
All the clips to hold the cable linkage in place (like on the shifter assembly)

And after seeing all the burnt oil inside the valve cover, I'm just not very impressed..I realize it was a used engine, but I was hoping I'd be one of the lucky ones to get a really nice gem. Oh well.

On top of this he said he sent out my receipt the same day as my engine via regular USPS mail, but I still don't have anything...mail will go from coast to coast in 5 days flat. I really want a receipt..I guess most people don't ask for them?

I called him yesterday (thursday) and told him what parts I was missing, he said they'd go out the same day. We'll see next week.

 

they still haven't picked it up yet!???

Who was arranging the shipping....you or steve?

And did you ever get a receipt?

 

rght now.. the best part is the CLUTCH.

 

You're just saying that cuz I bought it from you hehe

IM this man if you want great prices

 

Dang Thumbs...

I can't believe you've got 4404 posts

 

I am looking into getting this very same swap soon. How are Steve's prices? Every time I call I get the machine so I gave up.

 

I've had my B-series motor from HMO for about two weeks now. Called the day after I got the motor about the receipt-Steve said it went out the same time as the motor-and it still hasn't shown.

 

Looking good man. I hope you get that shti running good. My tranny didn't look that dirty , but I only had 48,xxx on it. H22 power baby

 

did the people at HMO fix that problem for you?

 

How do you know how much mileage you had?

and did you order from HMO?

Also, is there anybody here that had a motor SHIPPED from HMO, and actually has a receipt? I want my fawking receipt.

 

i got my b16a from HMO, never got a reciept, steve told me that the shipping invoice was the reciept, but i highly doubt it was. anyways, when i got the engine, my left mount was busted. to make a long story short, it took 11 phone calls to steve over a waiting period of 3-4 weeks before that 1 mount got to my door. but overall my engine was clean and it did come with new shift linkages and everything else!! so HMO is okay for their price, but nothing is perfect in this world

 

so hey jonathon....did that header come on your motor??? i got my h22 from hmo and it had a rsr header on it...only thing though is that it came with the factory a pipe, so i had to cut and weld that **** to fit...i wanna a jun header soon though...did yours come with the factory a pipe or the actual header a pipe??? if it came with a stock one good luck...cause it wont bolt up and takes alot of modification..also i guess i got lucky cause my motor from hmo was spotless inside and out..the head was all shinny inside..haha...anyways good luck, hers a pic of mine in the car...

No, I bought the Jun header seperately, and I've got a huge b-section to go with it ...the h22 came with stock everything.

I'm kinda pissed overall...Looks like I got a pretty high mileage POS engine

I wanted to be one of those people with a clean shiney engine

 

Better get scrubbing...

Hopefully it will atleast run like a gem...

 

i got a receipt and a very clean motor from HMO....maybe thats because i drove all the way from AZ to pick it up???

 

I sure hope you enjoy that ITR CAI.......*** hehe

that is a clean *** engine bay bro

 

Isn't HMO located is South Cali? That's what their website says... Also, if they do I am planning on going down there when I purchase my engine and pick it up personally so I know I have everything I need.

Hondamotorsonline gets a thumbs down from my experience with them

 

what happened? the people want to know, so tell us.

 

he pretty much ended up with a POS motor..and I think he sent it right back to them

 

Exactly
Cracked block

 

I already posted this up for another Hondamotorsonline post but i'm gonna do it again for any of you that didn't hear about it. Rukkus233 (TC) you are right Hondamotorsonline sucks ***, that's why we got rid of that ****. The whole driver side mounting holes in the block were stripped out. They grinded down the edges on the bolts and shot them in with an impact gun. I guess they didn't think that i was gonna change the timing belt and water pump, to see the bent bolts and aluminum filings all over the place. My other friend JDM88CRX (Mike) got his 1st gen B16 from them, it ran fine until the one of the thrust washers fell out and cracked the pistons destroying the bottom end..... I still say **** Hondamotorsonline.

 

I got my motor from hmo, they SUPERGLUED the intake manifold gasket on there, and #2 runner was cracked......Radiator fluid everywhere, rakes in third gear, intake manifold was dirty as hell, clutch is worn To ****, ecu has a gov on it, no altenator belt, no dowl pin for shift linkage, And did I mention I can't go without a ******* throttle cable to hmo
