engine almost together

[wed3k]

yes. I run with no timing covers at all. I don't advice following in those steps tho. I've needed to replace my tbelt more often because of this.

i like putting my finger in the spokes while running.

I did nothing. There still is fluid in it. You either need to loop the lines, or just leave them open and all the fluid will eventually spill out as you're driving.

Mines been fine for 4 years. It's starting to dry up though and makes squeeks.

[tootall]

i might just loop the lines then. and try to figure out a way to put a little fluid back in there

I cant afford high flow injectors until the engine is in, is there anything i could do to the stock injectors to clean them, or to make them flow better.

[d112crzy]

Unless you're shooting for over 180whp, you won't really need bigger injectors than stock.

[tootall]

yeah but as soon as i get the engine in, i would like to start buying my turbo one piece at a time.

On another note, im having a real hard time finding a used half shaft for manual conversion(bolts to the block) no way to use the long axle on drivers side from when it was an automatic.. I thought that part of the tranny was the same distance away from the drivers side hub...

[d112crzy]

It might work. Try it. But I think the inner cv joint is different on the auto than it is on the manual, which would mean it wouldn't work well with the manual trans.

Also, whats your power goal? I can get you a set of used 550's or 680's for decent price.

[tootall]

i dont really have a power goal just started out hating it because it was an automatic, I have had this car since 98, it was my daily driver and then i put it in a garage and started it up every once in a while until i could get the balls and the money to swap for a manual then make it fast. So while it was out, made since to rebuild it, and make every thing new, just dont have the money for high performance, and figure i could add things later after the guts had been replaced, like a turbo, injectors, fuel pump, and ive already lightened it and gave it more room in the engine compartment.

might be interested in those injectors.

Looks good man.

[wed3k]

just order the bolts from your honda dealer hook up. two of the bolts are kinda stepped and sleeved because they help the half shaft locate on the block. so two of the three bolts are different.

[tootall]

i need the whole assembly dont i, the support on the block and well heres a pic of what i mean.

[wed3k]

well, they dont really come apart and nobody really services them.

it's pretty much one piece if you get it used and three bolts.
