rebuild and a quick question

[ja23merz]

so i've been doing a rebuild for about a month. it's been taking a while because i have to wait for parts and machinig, and also i only work on it about 2 hrs a day after work.

heres some pictures of the engine. almost complete. i'm planning on dropping it back in w/ the tranny tomorrow.







now my question is about my intake manifold. i purchased a A6 IM w/ i think an H22 plenum. but i had to swap some parts over such as the egr. but there is one piece that i need to swap over that i dont know where it goes.



i want to swap over that part circled in red over to this manifold


does anyone know where it goes?

she's a beut!
oh and that FITV can be omitted. If you look under your h22/h23 throttle body, you will see something VERY similar. lol. that is basically the same thing, so you're set man.
and the starting valve goes in the front of the h22 plenum instead of the side of it as in your A1 manifold.

[ja23merz]

ah alright
cool cool thnx
can't wait to get my car up and running again

[jyoungblood87]

thanks for asking that cuz i wondered the same thing...

does anyone know the best way to break in the engine? i heard just drive normally for about 600-1k miles then flush the engine w/ new oil. something like that

yea man dont beat on it.

I am not sure how honda engines are but on chevys you want to vary your driving to seat the rings properley so drive in town stop and go vary your speeds dont stick at the same speed for to long and dont do any highway driving. You dont have to drive like a grandma but dont romp on it and I say a couple hundred miles should be good. You should also re-tourque your head bolts after the break-in period.

ah thnx thnx
right now im in the process of hooking up the coolant lines and im totally confused. hoses here and there. not sure which go where. any help will be appreciated. pictures do wonders

check out the h23 plenum swap thread

http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthre...ghlight=plenum

it has the answers, its not too hard to figure out yourself though, how I did. Get an f22 diagram and an h23 diagram and you can figure it out.

If its a complete rebuild change oil 500 miles, then cut open and inspect the oil filter for metal shaving. If everything is good, Refill and change at 1000 mile mark.

i looked into that and i saw some diagrams but still a little confused
the diagrams were sorta tiny
but i'll see what i can do

Break in just let the engine idle up to OPERATING TEMP (most people dont do that and it blows the motor) and romp the shit out of for the first 10 min or so. Whatever breaks will break within that time frame. Afterwards just bring it back change out the oil and inspect the filter and so on lol.

[ja23merz]

can someone with an H23 plenum and TB take a picture of how their coolant lines are? I know theres some in the DIY, but theyre sorta unclear.

[accordaffair]

I don't think a picture would do any more help, the lines run down and out of view. The stuff provided is clearer than a picture.

You can download a bigger size from my imagestation account I think, or download the manuals from 'ab0ve' to see the originals
