    Droped the pistons and rod off at the machine shop today so I should have them back in the morning. Gotta run over to JJ SPEC to get a front motor mount. Went up there today hoping stirfry would have one and he does but the one he have me was for a HF civic lol. So ill get that swapped out tomorrow as well. Should be back on the road this weekend.........Hopefully.

    Word of caution never buy a rebuild kit from ebay. i got the 300 dollar rebuild kit cause money was tight ATM and now i wish i would of waited. cause this past weekend i blew the cheap ass head gasket, cam plug, cam seals and the spark plug tube seals along with the oil pan gasket. so yes when rebuilding a car remember when building a honda buy honda oem gaskets. Also I found out that with the head gasket acting up like it was thats what was making the car not crank when warm. It was putting the ECU in cold start mode or limp mode. people where telling me it was just a temp sensor but it wasnt. but anyways now the new headgasket is on and working very well. no issues with starting it now so hope all is well again. now on to pics.
    Pictures of the head gasket fix. And also went back to a blue valve cover. the white just wasnt doing it.






    Note no more clutch cable.


    Cams are next. just money is tight these days. i do what i can lol.

    Ouch, didnt see your location rofl. It would probally be more in shipping then it would be in gas. xD, Id offer to meet you somewere if I had something to carry it in, but I dont think riding down the highway with a DA hood on a civic would be too fun. Hah.
