shop where mayberry worked. outstanding place to work on your car at, i got spoiled and it sucks working at home with jackstands and hand tools again...

and the head bolts came out with a breaker bar, nothing special.

[WiKKeDV16]

send me the breaker bar plz.. i need it.. fucking headbolts..

hha he makes it sound like it was alot.. tbelt/bbelt/water pump are all in the same location.. lol

[accordztech]

man my headgasket is pretty much gone..its been leaking for about 6 years lol from the rear end on one corner...but i never got any mixture of any sort, i guess ill look into this sooner or later.

[alb_accord]

hey why do the piston head look all black??? is it because of not enough light?

and a good way to take off the head bolts is to have a long pipe and thats it.
