b18c rebuild, polished transmission

[greasemunkey]

decided to polish the trans while it was out with some friends, just bumped compression on it really, nothing special head has had a 3 angle valve job done previously, better intake manifold and thats about it. painted the intake manifold then clearcoated it, polished the vtec solenoid as well

[greasemunkey]

had the crank balanced as well

[greasemunkey]

before and after engine bay

[DamnDisLaOsBoY]

clean!

[greasemunkey]

Thanks bud, still working out the leak issues, damn honda cam seals, btw i tore it apart and tried rtv on them and still didn't seem to help, any suggestions? I know they have a little play in them as to where the seals themselves can sit

rub a thin coat of honda bond all the way around the seal then a little dab on each corner where the cam cap sits should fix the problem

[greasemunkey]

thanks for the advice sir will be giving that a shot tomorrow

Honda Bond is the shit!

[Just_CHill]

Honda Bond is the shit!
x2 But don't use too much of any sealant cause it can cause leaks too.

It is good stuff but i see it over used many of times! lol I see it gooping out of cam seals as well so be careful and dont get too happy and ruin that clean engine. lol

[greasemunkey]

:goodjob:only problem I had was it took them 3 tries to get me the right bearings, that and they seem like v8 guys but nonetheless did a good job

[Black4DrEK]

^ Yea they Deff Do mostly V8s, but when i was talking to them One of the guys was really familiar with Honda Motors..


Cool guys..

Did you use those pistons? holding up good?

[greasemunkey]

yea i did engine seems to be holding up, knock on wood, 90 miles on her and counting, no cel light but also vtec isn't kicking for some reason, still have to figure that one out

[Black4DrEK]

Join the damn club.. I has no VTEC rite now also!! lol

[goi_ek]

yea i did engine seems to be holding up, knock on wood, 90 miles on her and counting, no cel light but also vtec isn't kicking for some reason, still have to figure that one outNice b16 pistons ftw and how did you polish tranny?What was used?Also scott's machine shop is fye.Did my cranks and other stuff just dont like how hes always calling our stuff little:lmfao::goodjob:

[*EFilliated*]

how is that cable to hydro working out 4 ya?

[greasemunkey]

hydro to cable is working fine like it should, polished the tranny by hand like any other would polish. 6 hands hard grit all the way to wetsand paper then a small buffer, took all night. he can call my stuff little cause everything about my setup is little, crx hf with around 160-70hp to the wheels is pretty damn quick

[greasemunkey]

also just got my badass tool in. Valve spring compressor for b-series heads!! will be needing it for future builds. Thanks to mainstream for loaning one of these to a friend a while back, I had to get one of my own :cheers:

[Black4DrEK]

^^ HAHA i sure did need that a couple weeks back!
