So yeah. Just an update finished the swap last night at midnight. Had weird idle issue and no brakes when i took it for a spin. go figure I forgot to plug in brake booster hose =P Put that in, then I just had an exhaust leak because i needed studs. Had today off from work, I'm offically broke as fuck
but the engine is in, runs great! *sidenote* never put parts on the radiator support (alt fell off car and seized) so I got a new alternator. yeah.
All and all, swap was okay, I need to invest in a fucking air compressor, my friend brought one down like 3 hours before the end and it helped alot so this is my next investment.
In the meantime I saw i need Lower balljoints BAD esp on passanger side. Have to order those when I get money. and get that done. Also while im doing that ill be replacing compliance bushing and that other one on the LCA (both parts i got from honda)
So all in all
New used motor
New Honda Headgasket
New VC Seal/Oil Pan seal/sparkplug seals
ARP Headstuds
Alternator
Hooked up oil press gauge (finally)
Filled 2 mounts with the windshield gasket maker and works awesome!
hmm yeah i think thats it. (wish i got a good stage 3 clutch but whatever.
Things that are comming:
Balljoints replaced ASAP
Hood latch Cable (Have it)
Hood Latch( have it)
Compliance Bushing/other( have it)
New Radiator Support
New Radiator oem
New Hood
New Rear/Front Bumper
Quarterpanel (maybe)
& Rust fixed on roof/side window then have car painted by someone I know.
Yeah boi. I'm Broke as fuck now. I have to cash in my change to get gas to go to work all week. Ugh.
+ the hood fell on my head and broke my bug deflector, thank god I have a backup one in the garage haha.
