Dude your project seems to be comming along nicley. I wish you the best of luck on not having to spend to much extra money on stuff but it seems like you know its worth it and make the needed sacrifice.

Wish i lived by you, i would pass by on the weekend to tool around with yah, i dont know much but i like working on cars.

 

The axle seals are "cheap". They are different sizes. But for reference, all 92-00 d-series seals are the same.

EDIT: And bring it the old axle to get the core charge for them.

 

The engine is looking great addiction. Madd props!!

 

love that black paint lol j/k. Do you still have a z6 head laying around complete? might have someone who wants it

 

ya i do THO it wont come with the Vtec valve cover...
throw out an offer....
BUT not sure about how COMPLETE ya want..... cause i want to keep all the sensors and injectors AT LEAST until i find out that all the sensors and injectors are working properly in the replacement motor!






BUT anyways heres some before and after cleaning...


and after








and looks like previous owner had some SERIOUS RUBBING ISSUES.... LMFAO




have to bust out some new undercoating....

also kinda took apart the old motor...
One of these is not like the other....... hehehe










LOL motor got preaty trashed......not sure which happended first... no oil or thrown rod..... LOL
BUT o well... ive seen a few similar civics in the paper for 2,500bucks for sale... so i asume if i wanna sell LATER ON... i should be able to make money even after ALL the money i put in this car... BUT i dont plan on selling it realy... only if money gets tight OR i can trade it for a hatch... hehehe

the little things suck replacing them all BUT a drip free garage is worth it!!!!!
so in the long run the 10-20bucks here and thier is worth it!

 

Will you clean my engine bay[8D]


Seriously though, looking good...you're making some good progress!

 

just get a BIG bottle of degreaser and SOAK THE ENGINE BAY DOWN... let it sit about 5mins... and pressure wash it realy good....
i used like almost the full gallon of degreaser on this sucker......

ill feel ALOT BETER when i get the motor/tranny in the car and it starts up and moves... hahahaha

 

wow addiction that engine bay looks amazing man any reason a Mod/Admin hasnet moved this to project section?

 

cause i havent tried and its not a COOL build/project.LOL

more of a STOCK REBUILT......

its all good tho. no big deal to me... im taking pleanty of pictures of the build and keeping all receites so i can prove all that ive done! always a beter sale price when you can prove how much money ya put into it.... ill stop by napa tomorow after work to get sockets for the clutch and flywheel as well new bolts from dealership for them... and hopefully i can get the motor/tranny put together and put the starter on it so i can test the motors compresion.... and HOPEFULLY ITS GOOD...
if not.... O CRAP...... is all i can say [:@]
and ill just be kicking my own @ss that i didnt test it out when i checked it out.... but plugs looked good... looks like the motors had work before cause of the water pump and timing belt and silicone on the oil pan gasket...

 

let me see what kind of funds i can get to maybe take that z6 head off your hands when you find out what you have to take off of it
