Do it up man, theres a lot of cool **** in there that alot of people will never see otherwise.

werd, do it...pics along the way might let us help you more if you need it

yeah great. im gonna need alot of help too :D haha hopefully i dont **** up much. anybody have some advice before i start?

Yea I want to see picts too.

Do it....i like going through the Big projects lists that people post, and follow what they do, and everytime i read one i learn something so if i ever get good enough to do something like that then ill return the favor..

Do it!!! I try to take pics of anything I do to my car. I figure that way if a year from now someone needs a pic of the inside of a door I have it. LOL

yeah definetly i went out today and bought a socket wrench set and a mallet hammer, i dont think i will be needing PB? will i? cuase.. it is internals.. and it should be surrounded by oil shouldnt it? if at worse case will WD 40 work?

Pics FTW! I love looking at engine internals!

do it up man, good luck with it and i want to see some pics!

Ya i always like seeing this stuff

well already great. project will be starting tomarrow.. hopefully

Everyone should have a bottle of PB Blaster on hand at all times. Something is bound to be rusted/seized up, and the blaster will alleviate the headaches.

As for tips, TAKE YOUR TIME! Don't rush through it or you'll forget where stuff goes, strip bolts, etc etc etc.. Just go slow and make sure you're mentally documenting everything you do.

Oh yeah, and have FUN! :D

Get some muscles? :D

ha ha ha very funny lol. no its impossible my bro who benches like 340 pounds couldnt knock it off even with a mallet hammer. my project shall contiune tomarrow when i buy a breaker bar -

Which bolt is stuck?

Also, the "oil tank" is actually called the "Breather Chamber" for the PCV system

I was going to ask about those bolts that u need a long socket to get to. is there any other ways to get them off?

Gotta be a little more specific man, theres only like....10 BILLION bolts in a Honda motor :D
