BTW i LOVE how this whole car can be taken apart with
10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 19mm(F&R mounts, crank pulley) , 22mm(lugs), 30mm(cv) sockets
10, 12, & 14mm wrenches
3, 6, & 9 inch extensions
8inch breaker bar
31 inch breaker bar/impact(cvs...)
flathead & phillips screwdrivers
impact NOT really needed, though helps a lot with those CVs

dude, asian imports are all like that. just a handful of tools are needed.


'domestic' cars are a horrible mix of metric and standard. european cars LOVE torx.

[stephen_lee]

engine is back in and she is now a standard!

its been running/driving for over a day now

i feel a little accomplished as i pulled an engine, did an auto/manual conversion, and dropped an engine back in, in a day and a half.

idk how 'good' that is, but to me it seems a lil above average

im ready to swap soon

[DEATH]

Yeah - that's impressive Steven. Nice work.

Well Saturday I was cruising 410 in San Antonio w/my friend, putting miles on the Integra I built Friday, at about 75. Wasn't speeding, racing, or putting any unnecessary stress on my car at the time. Well an incline came alone and my slushbox decides it needs to down shift. So I'm going up a hill at about 4.5K rpm. and i hear this quiet tapping start. then it slowly gets louder. I call up my friend real quick and tell him i blew my engine, so we pull over at the next exit. I top off my oil and we decide to go back to where we were staying that weekend. 10-15 miles away. So I drive back. Tapping slowly getting worse. So by the time I get into the Garage I'm stuck w/ this:

my friend i believe that you have bottom end problem piston is slapping on the bores so yeah..but if you want to rebuild it or you want to put a new engine in there...if it was my car i would put a 3sgte engine in there with mr2 gearbox
