Well more like car down.

quick story, car over heated, because of header core tube, caused head gasket to burn, which put radiator fluid in cylinders...now car broke....


i am taking the head off, having it machined and putting new gasket. going to be some work, so any so-cal people want to come over and work on an engine with me.


also anyone know of machine shops that can do this. plus has anyone done this before. also I read something a while back about putting a different head on top of the f23...anyone know anything about this.

well wish me luck, hybridnrg's car is down............

 

yeah thats as far as i got for now, been working so much, i dont have time.....errr

 

was it easy? my headgasket is shot also.

 

dont know...havent even got the head off yet.

 

i would rather get a new head than to get it machined.

 

damn, that sucks. Hope it goes well in replacing it. if you look on Honda Tech theres writeups on putting an h22/h23 head on an f23 block, maybe you'd wanna go that route since you need a new head anyway.

 

yeah thats what i read about before. i would, but i dont have the time nor does my f23 block have the stamina to last. 209,000 miles!

 

Wow, that sux brent hope it's an easy fix, hate to see the hybrid mobile down

 

mill the head, bump your compression, be happy

oh, and good luck bro

 

Medic!!!

Dude, sorry about your car man. I know a few places that work with head/block/tranny, basically anything but they're in the OC area.

One of them is Inline4 Performance, specialized in Honda 4 bangers, like the name implies. Their website is www.inlinefour.com give them a call.

Another place is Corner3Garage, specialized in Honda, Toyota and Nissan. Website is www.corner3garage.com

Good luck man.

 

damn brentin. i didn't know it was that bad. good thing it didn't happen on the way to the all cali meet. if you need anything from inlinefour. then let me know since not that far from the shop. its actually near Super Autobacs.

oh yea seriously its time to go H22 and sam will put it in for you.

 

off topic..... are those 94-97 accord fogs? how hard were they to install?

 

hmm...209K miles? in that case since the motor is apart anyway, why not have it reconditioned and do the head swap? or an h22 swap?

 

Let me know if you need your head machined. Or call Corona Auto Parts at

951-340-0001
951-898-8988
951-737-0001

In that order. Tell them your my friend, and ask for Kevin or Mauricio.

 

If you could afford it now is the time, I remember you selling some stuff so you might not be in a position to do that, otherwise, just get yours machined and be back on your way.

 

ive always thought that finding an ecu for the h22 head swap would be too much trouble so id either just get your head machined or just h22 swap that bitch.

 

G23, u can use a chipped P06 or P28.

BRENTIN IM COMING OVER!!!! i would lOVE to play with ur head

u know u can get a reconditioned F23 for about 4-500 bux. or i can get a million H22 heads for $400.

yeah i was reading about that, but i dont think my bottom end will be able to handle it.


if i had the time and money i would so do it. but i need to get my car up and running. All i need it to do is last another year so i can get a new car.

 

yeah those are 94-97 accord fogs. it wasnt that hard. just took off the bumper, and installed it from behind. just had to wire everything up and run the wires though the firewall. even has the switch to fit in that empty spot next to your clock.

 

have Mixxwell help, it a walk in the park for him

 

It's always better from behind

 

not when at the beach, but since its night time and high tide all you have is the rocks....um yeah

 

.... huh?

 

anyways i got most of it apart, do you need some special nut to take off the bolts. because just looking at it, it looks like it needs one.

 

take a picture, ill tell u

u can buy a fresh H22 head here

 

Should have bought my car :p

haha I hope everything works out for ya dear.

 

this is what happened to the cl i bought, i headgasket blew once, acura changed it and then it blew again, be very careful with who u have machine it, also be aware that in rare cases your block may warp too, and for added security i strongly suggest u go out to your local autoparts store and pick up a can of copper headgasket spray and spray the new headgasket before putting it in.. oh btw i have a spare h22 head for dirt cheap, pm me...LOL

 

Oh man, what an array of goodies! I wish i was in So Cal, i'd b all over this stuff

 

dude get an H22 swap. even if you keep your car AUTO it will still be funner than a single cam.

 

h22 with auto trans are 1300 bux.. but a manual is 1600, gayness

 

didnt the automatic h22's have only 180hp

 

no it still has 200hp

 

i WISH it was that cheap over here!

maybe its just the jdm ones?

 

USDM h22's were 190 hp if they were from 92-96, then 200hp from 97-01. ALL JDM motors are 200 hp.
