From today. Thanks for looking.

To tale the head to get it all cleaned and worked on with new guides and seals and hot dipped is like 300...plus I need a new headgasket. That's about 450 total and prolly need headbolts...

Now the bottom end is another few hundred.. that's new motor territory.. I don't wanna give up the cb.. no way.. I really don't no what to do. Car still pulls strong annd all.. and I was told it will make it thru the winter.

Sunday imma do another test when the car is warm.. see if anything changes with the new fuel filter.. ill start there.

Phew, good thing the filter was the only problem related to the start up. Now, concerning the compression, I would remove the head and check the valves and the underside, even take it to a shop to have it all cleaned. Also, check the pistons and clean off anything on the tops that you can. How much money did you have set aside again? Haha!

Also, I have to agree about AAA. I love them and everything is so easy with them.

that thing is too nice to leave that motor like that , time for rebuild or swap

[Accord problems]

sorry to here that had happen you have put a lot of time effort into this lovely cb . but to be honest in my opinion I would rebuild the hole engine if you're doing the head . better to air on the side of caution than to be stuck again from something that could have prevented . but that's just me and I know a lot of people have a tight budget .

Car started and died, code 8 and code 15.. friend rebuilt the dizzy, came on and shut off. In the process of cranking it i killed the battery. So i had a warrenty and got a new 1.. i have TripleA (i encourage ppl to get it) and towed the car to my buddies garage... i had spark, fuel, just kept cranking.. bought a new fuel filter and replaced it and started rite up. Old filter had 140k+ miles on it..

Only thing that bums me out is last yr i did a compression test... it read 190 190 190 200... i did it yesterday and it was 180 180 110 150. We think carbon build up chipped away and got stuck under a valve causing it not 2 close.. motor pulls strong and all still. im not blowin smoke from the rings or anything.. thank goodness.. so a possible rebuild head in the future may occur. What u guys think?? Anyways heres some pics of the cb goin on the flat bed, and new and old pics of the filter. Thanks to all who told me 2 not give up in figurin out the problem. You know who u r!

I never ever seen them in white or blk or gold.. only silver.. only gold I seen was the swirly 14s.

These r oem dealer wheels in silver, but they were faded so I restored them. Even down the the original H on the caps. 14x5.5 +55 offset wrapped in 195 65 tires

Too dope! Do you know what color they are? I can't tell from the pics. I believe they came in gold, black, white, and grey or something like that; I might be thinking of the mesh tires. And were they Original Honda or were they from one of those custom tires shop. I can only find the custom ones on the internet; I have no luck on originals.

[F20A CB7]

Nothing like a DIY

[F20A CB7]

In person its pretty decent. So much so another member on fb (cb group I'm admin of) liked my idea he did it on his own lights. Came out nice.
