to clean a o2 sensor i would only suggest to clean with gasoline or with a torch

 

O.K, so I think I made a big mistake on assembly of the cam assembly. I put the head on, torqued then put the cam in and set it with up mark up, then put the rocker arm assy. on and set the valve lash on #1 and #4 cylinders. After that I remembered I was supposed to do it all then put the head on. Is there anyway I can set the next 2 cylinders without pulling the head off again ???? UPDATE---- I got impatient with myself and pulled the head off, now is it ok to use the same head gasket since its been fully torqued once allready ?

 

it should be since the motor wasnt started or anything..

 

Well she is up and running great !! Just wanted to say thank you all for your help and patience with this thread. A pretty long one too. Once again thank you guys, espescially RonJ and 94civic... Thanks guys

 

permatex high temp thread sealer, comes in a little tube about 5 bucks, you can do a LOT of threads with that tube,best stuff i've ever used. It's good enough that it's approved for use in aircraft.

 

Ok so I went to check my timing and for any leaks as a final inspection and I got a leak. When removing the old parts, I took off the housing that the upper radiator hose connects to the head, when I put it back on I diddnt see a gasket so I smeared permatex on it, now its leaking pretty good. Is there a gasket for this and if not what should I do to fix

 

you can jus use silicone let cure for about 2 min no more. then put back together. you should be ok.
