H22 preparation list...

[deapost]

Here's a list of things i did to my H22. Did i miss anything? Its almost ready to go in....

- Cleaned all dirt off engine and removed carbon from inside the exaust ports. (anyone else clean their exaust ports before they put headers on? Mine had some buildup)

- Replaced timing belt, balancer belt, tensioner, hydrolic tensioner, used brake cleaner to clean that area prior.

- replaced cam seals

- adjusted valves

- replaced thermostat

- cleaned injectors

- new cap / rotor / iridium plugs

- new oil seal / filter / cleaned oil pan

- new alt belt / ps belt

- new valve cover seal kit

- new headers

- new clutch / flex plate / flywheel

- aem fuel rail

Some friends were telling me that the engine might run like crap the first time starting up until the ecu properly adjusted everything.

Is there a way to clean the cylinder walls / combustion chamber without taking the head off?

also the exaust valves seem to have a little grime on them that i couldnt get to. anything to be concerned about?

thanks!

I did, mine had about 3mm of buildup.
