borescope pics in just random order. most are of 1/4 holes...

what you think!??!?!

looks like you don't use Chevron with techron gas, it's supposed to clean deposits from your engine.
looks like normal to me, what exactly are we looking for?

turbohf · « **Reply #92 on:** April 19, 2014, 12:26:34 AM »

i use cheveron or shell gas only...

piston to valve contact... wanna know if i should be pulling the head or not.

Honda valves bend so fucking easy, pistons could look mint and you could have 16 bent valves. You really need to get your hands on a leak down tester.

What makes you think you have piston to valve contact?
What size is that cam you have in, didn't think the non vtec motors were interference motors

highroller54 · « **Reply #95 on:** April 19, 2014, 12:51:27 AM »

I would guess the timing belt skipping is more of his concern for bent valves.

and last I heard the non vtak motors didn't have piston to valve clearance issues.
I know he has cams in the motor, but I don't know if they would cause clearance issues

highroller54 · « **Reply #97 on:** April 19, 2014, 01:03:39 AM »

It wouldn't be the first non interference motor I have had bend valves lol.

turbohf · « **Reply #98 on:** April 19, 2014, 01:35:56 AM »

honda says that all honda motors are interference.

Usually when the head stalls out from momentum its not at full lift on the lobe, so when its all said and done the bottom end can still rotate without bending anything. On engines with pinner dick cams like Y7's and F22A/B etc...

Tim · « **Reply #101 on:** April 19, 2014, 04:07:20 AM »

I've had ls motors come out fine, and I have a pile of bent valves from others

Leak down test like mike was explaining in the beach house. I know you said you don't have compressed air, do you have a comp tester? This is rhmt, make an adaptor from a schrader valve to the hose on your comp tester, go to sheetz or somewhere they have a free tire pump and do that shit?
Don't know if it would work but I've done weirder shit.

bigdaddyvtec · « **Reply #102 on:** April 19, 2014, 04:19:56 AM »

but when the cams were 90 degrees out... That changes shit

yeah. exhaust cam was right at home pointing dead noon, intake cam was 3 o'clock. $:-\$

pics look legit? im gonna call/text around while at work, see if i can find a core p75 head for cheap to rob some valves from. think im just gonna sackup and do it for piece of mind at this point...

darkess90 · « **Reply #104 on:** April 19, 2014, 04:32:05 PM »

Dam hope you get the problem sorted away

. I'm looking forward to this boosted love non-v boosted engines. Clean DC4 too an like the spoon steering wheel.

turbohf · « **Reply #105 on:** April 19, 2014, 10:18:46 PM »

looks like im picking up another head for 40bucks from a buddy. so im gonna rip this head off, pull the valvesprings out and swap them into the new head and throw it on... but heagaskets locally are felpro and about $64 vs Mizumo/evergreen gasket that is $19shipped but will take 2-3 days... $:-\$ thinking about reusing it, but not sure i wanna do that when putting a different head back on.

thanks. very happy with the spoon wheel, deff my fav wheel. had one in my CRX, then i got a MOMO Tuner, wasnt even close to the same just felt wrong.

ratcityrex · « **Reply #106 on:** April 20, 2014, 12:17:02 AM »

Get a new gasket. But at the end of the day what caused your problem?

turbohf · « **Reply #107 on:** April 20, 2014, 12:41:53 AM »

still undecided. i either put the belt on wrong (even after doing tons of them right with no issue?.) or there is something hokey with the tensioner. i havent even bothered to pull it apart. think ill tear into it before dinner tomorrow.

btw. leaning towards the tensioner. not so much for my ego. but as i swear it had good tension before startup, then seeming magically just turned to shit and had tons of slack....

darkess90 · « **Reply #108 on:** April 20, 2014, 07:54:17 AM »

Yeah deff a cool wheel my fav steering wheel is the old school momo Monte Carlo steering wheel. Yo if I was you get a new tensioner yours was used right? Also get new HG as well.

turbohf · « **Reply #109 on:** April 20, 2014, 04:34:11 PM »

SO? WTF? am i wrong in seeing that this shit looks fine?>!?!?!

ps:

jdmhatchracer94 · « **Reply #110 on:** April 20, 2014, 04:57:00 PM »

danz · « **Reply #111 on:** April 20, 2014, 05:28:47 PM »

Looks fine to me... cant see any marks anywhere...

turbohf · « **Reply #112 on:** April 20, 2014, 05:45:44 PM »

yeah. my thoughts.....

now what?

n/a mike · « **Reply #113 on:** April 20, 2014, 06:43:08 PM »

more pics of that crank pulley removal tool
I have the real deal, but wouldn't mind a backup

So what did I miss? you wake up on easter and decide to pull the head?
Why did you pull the head off, the borescope pics looked ok to me

highroller54 · « **Reply #114 on:** April 20, 2014, 07:16:14 PM »

what was your compression test numbers?

reminds me of the first time I attempted to remove the bitch pin in the shift linkage during an engine swap.
Used a phillips screwdriver. fucker got stuck so I had to pull the engine out with the linkage still attached. Never did get the screwdriver out of the bitch pin

turbohf · « **Reply #117 on:** April 20, 2014, 08:04:52 PM »

yup done that.

this just has a tight fit. and i want to tighten the pulley later. so i left it in... but now thinking about it. fuck. probably want to put the pulley on without the covers. watch it run before i torque the pulley...

ratcityrex · « **Reply #118 on:** April 20, 2014, 08:31:39 PM »

Who the fuck torques there pulley on a honda? I guess I've always just used air tools to put mine on.

turbohf · « **Reply #119 on:** April 20, 2014, 08:38:12 PM »

i think i have torque 1 properly...

but i mean i will grab my traction bar with both hands and throw a foot on my breaker bar till im satisfied or something slips (foot or wrench)

going to go look at the used headgasket...this may go back together tonight.
