I'm removing the head to do a head gasket job/Timing belt/Water pump tomorrow. Any major pointers out for a first timer? You know like getting it wet before I put my wrench in type of pointers wink wink wink.

I Found a really cool write up here, but I noticed it's from a 2nd generation Integra. Am I going to come across a lot different things?

Anway's I Just want some tips from people who have done it before this way if I run into any problems I can already have some kind of lead on it!

 

b18a1 and b1 are the same beside the valve cover vent on the top of the vc, emissions and thats about it, mainly different plugs. that write-up will do the same justice for you. if you are a dc you will have power steering and ac and other luxuries that you will have to remove for the water pump and the timing belt. dc integras also dont have a traction bar like the da. beside chasis differences it is virtually the same job.

I like having a huge sheet of cardboard so I can set the head on and all the parts exploded diagram style just to make things a little more organized.

getting the timing belt right takes patience, and make triple sure your tensioner is torqued to 40lbs.
