Thanks man, and I'm gonna need the luck. I'm thinking about starting the tear-down on Friday, and if I it would be useful I'm thinkin' about startin' a thread to follow progress. I've messed with engine work before, but fortunately I should have my buddy there to help(an ASE certified Master Tech), and he has alot more Honda experience than I do. The hardest part is gonna be to save up all the money necessary.
Thanks alot for the links! And yeah, it's goin' into an EF9 HB, so this should be fun.....
