50-mile update. Leaks.

But not too bad. Looked like the oil pump was leaking, the rear main, and possibly the passenger axle seal as well. So I tore it down last night, pulled the crank pulley back off and discovered I didn't put enough Gagunga juice on the oil pan when I put it back on. Easy fix, although I hate taking my downpipe on and off.

She goes for inspection today, so fingers crossed!

DAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM bro can't believe that shyt happened bro. glad to hear that its ok tho

Timing was spot on. She just needs to pass emissions and run (roughly) until I get back to the states and then she gets a new stock VTEC head - without giant 38mm hogged out exhaust ports - stuffed with my cam and springs.

Ha ha ha, oh **** that was funny stuff. Not the bad stuff happening, but when you said "I have two options: pour gas on the car, light it on fire and walk away... " I laughed so freakin hard, that's what I'm going to say from now on when I run into a problem with my car. Oh geez. Good stuff.

Sux on the other crap happening. Soon you'll get it running good.

OFFTOPIC IF ANYONE KNOWS where to tap into oil line let me know ASAP!

FoSho

hmmm......what did I tell you about the check, check, and recheck beotch! Get me a juice box! I'm glad you caught it. That is amazing you didn't bend any valves. It must have lost tension in the right spot...karma was on your side buddy.

Thred jack karma was not on my side....drove car this morning, let sit until tonight, checked oil(good), checked coolant, and found no coolant in overflow and about 2 cap fulls low in the top radiator neck. I only had it filled right to the min line in the resi so I could accurately measure any coolant push. I wanted to light it on fire aswell. Filled her up and drove the **** out of her on 4.77 psi...no overheating so I guess I'll see in the morning if I pushed/lost any coolant, pull plugs, etc.....

So don't feel bad Clint. I wanna blow my car up today too.....an s2000 looks better and better ever day. These ****in cars are like women. They look great, they put out, they make ya feel good, they're fun to work on, but they cost alot, and they are always causing drama! No matter how awesome she is there is always someone out there sick of her ****! haha

I realized this the other day. There is a huge difference between working on cars and repairing cars.

I like working on cars.

About to go put her all the way back together.

Man, what are the chances of a pully tensioner practically falling off and not doing any significant damage? You've got some crazy good and bad luck.

**** Scott, I have no idea. But I'm going to sacrifice a few chickens to Big Daddy Boost in the Sky tonight as a thank you! Got her all back together aside from filling the radiator back up and putting the bumper on and she idles like normal again. Talk about a close call!

sounds good bro!!

Thats amazing Clint! Probably the only 2nd Honda I"ve ever seen jumping/slipping time and not bend a valve. At least you pulled through.....Checked my car this morning and it actually pulled about an inch of coolant out of my overflow and back into the raditor. The radiator was again 2 cap fulls low on the top neck.

Plugs look good, passed pressure test, & compresion. I guess we'll see what happens but the coolant has to be going somewhere. No smoke out my tailpipe and no leaks. I'm dumbfounded. Worked great for 1 month and now this.

Buh bye.

Sounds good clint..Your idle sounds just like mine or any other turbo for that matter. They all have that nice pitter-putter sound. Like something is lurking in the engine bay! I still can't believe you didn't bend any valves. Crazy.
BTW I see you have the IAT sensor in the metal.....dezod told me not to due this due to tune issues. You having any besides just being a piggy back.

I was thinking a leak in the heater core aswell but I'd imagine to have blue carpet by now. I filled the resi and bleed the cooling system for 1 hour w/ the cap off. It did spit some bubbles out with the heater on, shut heater off, and the thermostat still wouldn't open after 45 mins (101 degrees today too) So I turned the heater on again after 20 more minutes and finally the thermostat opened and some small bubbles came out. I did top it off a little so hopefully I did have some air bubbles. But why would it take 1 month to surface?

Ran the **** out of her even with the a/c on. No overheat and no smoke. No coolant push and no leaks. So I;ll check when she cools down and see what happens. I'm still not sure.

Did you stick your IAT in the charge piping then? I'm willing to give it a shot (sort of) if that might help things, but aside from the flaky idle and sometimes a weird "I'm gonna sit at Stoich regardless of what you do and then I'm gonna misfire!" thing it does sometimes on a warm start, it's fine really. What's that uber leak proof gunk you guys use when stick the IAT sensor in a coupling?

I can't wait to get k-pro. Oh and I bought a used EX head off someone. I'm probably just going to swap to it, just to be safe.

damn that thing sounds mean! nice vid by the way clint. hope things run better from now on for the both of you guys! i need to look for a block so i can build my engine before putting in the car... i'll start looking again after my wedding...

nice work done again clint, but still i would be carefull you dont know if the valve did bend or not if they dont seal they wont cool down and they'll get burned.

FoSho

Well I use hondabond or toyota black silicone. Not sure whats avail. to you. Maybe RTV Silicone? Blue or green **** I think...Take the valve cover off clint...you'll surely see if a valve is bent. It'll look like your p***s....==^=D haha. (note. image may be larger than actual size)

Checked car after cooling down and last drive. Found Coolant reservior down the exact same again and the radiator low 2 cap fills. So now instead of pushing I'm losing coolant? WTF.....I topped the radiator off and did not bleed the system or top of the resi. So i want to see what happens now. I am still not overheating ever, burning coolant every, smoking, misfiring, leaking coolant pressure, leaking coolant....nothing!! I am so doubtfounded...and as a mechanic it is very frustrating. Only thing I can do is wait till work on monday and pressure test the system with my boroscope down her throat. The head and block are straight and this engine has never ever made it's way past the middle mark on the temp gauge.

1 thing I did find strange. When I get done driving the top and bottom hoses are hot. So is the top radiator tank/neck. So I know there is coolant there. The coolant resi has not lost or gained any at this point after driving. It is in the exact spot I left it at to monitor push/lose. So this means I am losing the coolant out of the radiator during cool down and the radiator cap is trying to do it's job by refilling the system. So put on your detective hat and think for me! I'm off to the bar tonight....my car made me mad.
