    Valve clearances

    I have a B18A block with a B18B head. My exhaust cam is from a B18A, and the intake came is from a B18B. I assume i would use the valve clearances from the B18A for the exhaust and the ones for a B18B for the intake? My valves are knocking really bad and i have adjusted them before but...

    Bubbles in brake lines, warped rotors oh my!

    I changed my rear brake pads and rotors last week. They were long over due. After about two hours of trying to get the piston to go back into the caliper i took the brake line off to try and cheat. Still wouldn't work. Eventually read you have to rotate the piston back into place. Did that and...

    I don't seem to be getting any spark from my spark plugs. I took my distributor apart and tested all the connections that is listed on my honda repair manual. Readings for ohms and volts were in spec. I cleaned the connection on the cover. The contacts had some corrosion on them. Any other...

    need help getting motor in time.

    Finally got my replacement head on my car last night. Got everything hooked up and ready except for the timing belt. I tried using those pin holes on the cam to line it up but the notches on the cam gears don't really line up. Not enough for my liking at lease. Heres a ruff image of what...

    need to fix oil pan bolt

    The history between me and my DA is short. But short story is some where along the life of the car some idiot cross threaded the drain bolt on the oil pan. I discovered this the first time i changed the oil. It didn't leak oil until then. Instead of getting another oil pan i was just going...

    how do you calculate the redline?

    How does one know what the redline of the engine is? Correct me if i'm wrong, but are the valve springs the first thing to start going out of wack when say a B18A is reving at around 6500? And that can cause valve float? If stronger springs and better valves are installed wouldn't that...

    Are they worth the money? Or are they just replacement belts painted different colors?

    car won't start after timing belt install

    Long story short. Timing belt snapped about two months ago when i was on the highway doing about 70mph, 3k rpms. Finally got around to replacing the timing belt. Put new belt on, reassembled car. Car fired up after about 2-3 seconds of cranking it over. Car purred like a kitten. I let it idle...
