Okay, I read up on the archived posts about this and since I got my IM gasket for free I was going to get the most out of it.



That is what I do right? Connect the line that goes from the head to the heater core line thing with a 5/8" T fitting, correct?

I just wanted to make sure its the right hose I'm hooking it up to.

 

hondata gasket instructions

 

Um, thanks.

I looked already and my question was not answered dumbfuck.

I was clarifying which hose the heater hose was!

 

I don't really understand what your asking...but normally when you install the gasket, you just replace it like any other...and just reconnect everything the way it was before you undid it all...

Hondata gives you the option of blocking off a couple of hoses to get the manifold a little cooler, like the hose for the TB and such, but other wise, you shouldn't have to do anything out of the ordinay.

Are you asking how to put it back togather or what??? Sorry if I seem like I'm out of it, maybe your question makes more sense than I interpreted, but I've been in class all week, and my brain is totally fried!!!!!

 

tough install LOL

Yes, thats right.

 

Alright, update on my install.

Apparantly I overlooked the fact that my hondata gasket already came with the coolant square punched out so there's no way for me to run a "race" setup.

Boy is the intake manifold a bitch to take off. Hardest parts where the 3 nuts directly underneath the manifold, and the two bolts that hold the IM bracket on.

The gasket came off really easy as opposed to what others have experienced.

 

with an attitude like that, its surprising that you get ANY people on this board to answer your questions. if i was called a dumb**** i sure wouldnt want to help any more.

I am in the same boat as you. You can Screw getting my help just for comments like that.

 

Skafia,

What was your method for getting the three bolts under the intake manifold? Long extension and get them from the top; or did you try from the bottom?

Doing mine this weekend. Any good tips/suggestions?

 

forget my help too. and I just installed one like a few weeks ago,

You guys can say what you want but I was offended by what he replied with.

This isn't middle school, if you don't want to help somebody out then don't, who gives a **** about "ooh, I don't want to help you now."

On another note, regarding the 3 bolts underneath the manifold, it would be easier to drain the coolant from the car completely and remove all the coolant hoses underneath the manifold, then it would be easy to access them.

The black bracket that holds that manifold on was pretty hard also, its hard to "break" the bolt because you have to do it vertically with an extension and there's not much room. I put some "liquidwrench" on the bolts and I still had a hard time removing it.

 

Typical h-t ******* drama. someone asks a tech question, and people jump in and say lame stuff without contributing.

I know the people that posted worthless crap arent mods so if you dont like what he said, dont say anything back.

skafia, you leave the IM bracket off or on?

I have been meaning to ask people if the bypass the IACV with a butt connector type fitting for the coolant hoses. that way you dont have the hot coolant in direct contact with the TB and IM

hondata punched out the coolant hole a while ago. They realized its not a good thing to have coolant blocked off going to the engine if you dont re-route the cooling lines, compared to just putting on the intake manifold gasket and go.

when you have the IM off, I usually recomend putting a new o-ring on for the crank case breather box. its under 2 bucks from any honda/acura dealer. Its kinda hard to get to from below, and you cant get to it from up top if you have the IM on.

skafia, you notice if there was any oil on your stock IM gasket? or oil in the intake runners?

A agree with Skafia on this one. In his first post he said he READ THE ARCHIVES. meaing that he did do a search. Then he gets a reply with a link saying the instructions are in that link, and he gets linked back to the search. He already did a search , people need to start reading the ******* threads before they decide to be an *** to someone

I think people forgot that the old school hondata IM gaskets had the coolant line blocked off. thats why when skafia used the search and found older posts (archived) they talked about the coolant blocked off.

he just wasnt sure on which one he had, or was aware that hondata changed the design.

It came with the hole already in it cause there is no more "race" gasket design.

I have no problem getting the bracket under the IM; it's just those three damn bolts I don't want to deal with. I have to remove all those hoses, but guess I will if I have too. No big deal since I run all water and water wetter.

Or possibly other people did more than just read honda-tech and figured had skafia done that he would have known that there is no more race design and that the question was m00t.

 

onyx00, you can actually get to those bolts with a 12 mm wrech or a shallow socket and ratchet from above the car if your hand is small enough. I can take the manifold off the car without ever getting on the floor now that the bracket bolts are not in.

so why not just post that the new design doesnt require modifaction of the cooling lines?

if they are going to put the effort into posting something, at least make it helpful to people

 

No disagreement there Bob. But why cuss at someone?

Internet is dumb!

 

No more race gaskets? Funny, I only sell race gaskets and I have had no problems ordering more. Where did you get that info?

And bob, race gaskets arent bad for engines,just bad for people that dont know how to install them correctly.

One butchered line coming right up! Hahaa...I still reel from the shock of looking at it realizing how much coolant was running down the driveway continuously at one point.

I tried ordering hondata race gaskets earlier this year and they told me they wouldn't supply any more and weren't making them.

Oh well.....the alternative is here at an-r.

Got that from matt and sounds like Raging Angle got the same info.

Happy for j00 Steve. Skafia call SGT Racing for your race gasket needs.

 

I invested in a set of ratcheting box wrenches and a swivel socket for the install...it made it a lot easier!!!

As far as the intake manifold bracket, you only need to take the two bolts(for an ITR) that connect the manifold to the bracket, you don't need to take the whole bracket off it self...there's no point....in fact, I never even took the manifold out of the engine bay, just slid it back enough to clean the old gasket off the head and manifold and clean all the coolant, then just slipped the new gasket between the manifold and studs....wasn't that bad, took me like half an hour....I don't undestand how everyone says it's all that difficult, at least on an ITR style manifold any way....

What ever....
