Couple thing's I've noticed here. Looks like the cover seal is/ has been leaking, I'd get on that. In the first pic it seems to be riding off center? Hard to tell but the 11 o' clock spacing compared to the 5 o' clock spacing seem's to differ as to washer clearance. If you go new balancer they come kinda universal larger diameter little heavier. I have the belt number to help if you have to go this route. Hope it's not your crank.
Is this crank pulley bad?
I have k24a2. Just got it fired and running. I noticed the crank pulley wobbling while it was idling. I have a video of it and have attached a pic.

I didn't mean to quote your whole damn post. My father used to call me a yahoo....You might be right on the RDX thing. I got so many accromins running in my head, I need a reboot. I have a couple good 50* VTC's and some 06-08 TSX cams. If in need. One must be careful NOT to have 05' or 04's. You should have two rings. I won't expand as there is a ton of debate/ info on this. You keep muddling, personaly watching you struggle makes me feel better about myself, Thank You
So whatta we got next!
No, the 04-05 are weak compaired to the 06-08. Your clearance will be more than fine with the 45*. I have a set here let me grab um. (tic tok,tic tok) OK. On the intake, mine is marked R8. these marks have been considered earrelevant. Iv'e seen R5, R3 blah blah. the ring is 3 lobes in and right behond the saddle.
On the exhaust mines marked R1 (2) rings three lobes in from the pulse plate on each cam. One ring on each side of the saddle Again you can search this and one would think after all these years of debate somebody can tell you better than I. You have the wrong ones. If theres any confusion I'll sell you these.
Your positive attitude and sense of humor will carry you through.
Come to the dark side. We have candy and chocolate.
Your knocking it down pretty good and your doing it systematic. Drag Cartel puts out some good stuff more on the race side and would take more supportive mods. But yes, it can wait. So radiator is up next squeeze the hose's and check for cracks replace if needed flush and fill. So what else ya got! We on the dark side are equal opportunity so there's plenty of room to all those that are not perfect.
OMG so it's a fixer upper? Quite whining and don't drag your daughter into it. I got three and they are harder to raise than boy's? lol Your coming outta this pretty good so far. Fix the damn clutch that witch you failed to update me on, I'm gone a couple day's and look at the progress you've made?
The car looks pretty sano as to tucked an good mounts and all that. Just do a straight up fix on the vacume line, whatever that takes. It's a "main vein" you might find that helps your idle? Have you tried to manually adjust your idle? like turn the screw to set it about 750rpm. You don't need the best shifting tranny to get the engine tuned. I wouldn't eat it, I'd get there. That bolts called a blind hole BTW. One of the reasons I got so many kids. Don't worry about it, put in whatever fits?The thermostat must be dealt with? A leak is a leak. It looks like the plastic factory part of the housing to me? Perhaps an o-ring or a crack or warped. You can sand it down on a flat surfice a bit.
On the whole I wouldn't run out and compound anything with the tranny right yet. Fix what you know needs fixing keep biting away at it. Nothing is behond reasonable quite yet. A little of this a little of that. I think getting the clutch sorted out, that and the trans falling in place because of it. ( were talking cause and effect here) will give you the needed boost in morale. You know what it is.....and it's really no biggy. If there were something else about it the shop woulda said " Oh and by the way". They woulda told you because it's to there advantage. If not lash out at them!
Top O' the morning to ya! I would suggest you get rid of your wife and kids? There a drag on your economy? How's this car ever gonna get done?
If the vtec was pulled back then your running some cams. Everything about this is fun. The brake pics didn't go through BTW. If it stops and locks...why F with it? I would venture to guess the abs was intentionaly disabled? Somebody went to a lot of effort to mod / improve (?) this car. Then they drove the piss out of it and sold it to you. it doesn't suck. It, just needs some love?
YOUR all up in that tranny. Hold firm at this dollar amount it should be butter? Silky smooth, along for the ride and cooperating with you and so should the shop......Your doing right in the fact that untill you know what you got, it's kinda hard to deal with it?
Good job on the stabilization of your idle! That's a biggy? Stick with the 68mm it's been proven that anymore than that will not get you much if anything except a soggy bottom end. When tuning this beast all out H.P numbers is not it. You want it driveable and fun? Bragging rights as to the latter won't do you much as to day to day? I'm vested in this as I am in the middle of a "high end" but resonable build. Mostly some added performance and dead ass reliable the way a Honda should be? I hydro locked my engine and I'm on a mission now. So there in lay's are vested interest? I know my car like the back of my hand. Your running it down and doing a good job of prioritizing. You must remain hands on so you don't lose the rabbit. Ask questions, give me answers, color is your choice. I almost bought a 92 camaro that had a purple that the hue almost looked black at night. It was a stock color but like "hunter green" or a double breasted suit it is what you want.
If it's not broke don't fix it. If it's not safe, you better. If it's not reliable I'd look at it twice as to how much trouble/cost it will give you later on. When your done with this one something tells me you will be on to the next. There's worse habits you could have. The more you do on your own the least it will cost. It seems like your on your 3rd build? Make some mistakes....Just not twice.
Oh just weld it up and quit whining.
"Rockstar" Your getting over or under every hurdle....At a pretty good pace. The head of that bolt could have hidden the elongation and stumped somebody for a long time. Myself included thats not what I would have looked for right off. Pretty soon you'll have this thing done. Then what? I thought you took it around the block the other day. Is this not enough to keep you out of trouble. he he I'll get back on the other in a minute.1 - 20 of 67 Posts
