Engines built. Ready to run in. Just want to paint the bay and tidy a few bits before putting it in
-
I stripped the engine and it quickly became apparent that red cam cover had been shot blasted and blast media had made it into the engine. Once I'd got the crank out it was obvious the main crank bearings were scored and a real mess tbh. It is also possible the bearings were too tight aswell. 0.25 oversized but apparently the mains had not been ground. So who knows. Whatever the case. It needs a new crank. Basically everything is toast. I managed to get as new crank in good condition and started collecting bits. As much genuine Honda parts as possible. Head gasket. Head studs. All new seals, oil pump etc. Since the car was destined to have a turbo on it. I figured while it's in bits may aswell build it. So purchased a set of eagle con rods and CP forged pistons. The head has bee refreshed. Dual valve springs, new stem seals pressure tested and skimmed. Block has had the cylinders refreshed and check for the new pistons. And been decked and cleaned. The engine is now ready for installation but I want to do some work in the engine bay when I get chance. I have been collecting parts for the turbo setup aswell. Should be a gooden. BWR ramhorn manifold. Tial 44mm wastegate. JBE 6370 turbo.

Progress is a little slow tbh. Doing a house up and working etc at same time. But renewed lots of little bits and bobs. Headlight washer, Spoiler, Door seals, side repeaters, stripped and cleaned the whole interior and refinished the headliner in black suede. Refurbed the seats and fitted a momo black magic wheel. Engine pulled for inspection as well.

jan 2020. Got a bit of time so thaught I'd start another project thread document my progress with my latest honda. My last civic ended up quite a machine. But unfortunately I had to make the decision to let it go to buy a house. Once got my finances back on track. I really fancied another mb6 as always had a soft spot for them. A another member offered me a clean car so went on a bit of a road trip down south to pick it up. It has just had an engine rebuild fully documented with every receipt and ran sweet as a nut was very happy with it. Unfortunately it only made it 100 miles back towards the Midlands and the bottom end developed a knock. Was pretty p**sed off tbh. But what can I do.

Cheers for tag.. I should be picking up a car in couple of weeks. It's one from a user here. Looks very good in the pics I've seen.

Haha yeah many moons ago.

Was it a genuine cat? I'm dubious about after market. And obviously a used oem item could also have limited life span.
-
I run mine at 0.6mm but I have a turbo. So not sure on a stock setup. Possible Closing the gap could help mask a failIng item in the ignition system?

Glad to hear all is well -
Pretty weird. Could it be that the cat is on its last legs. And replacing those parts last year just squeezed it through?

Seriously tho assuming the car it's come from was in good health. A used matrix will be fine. I had to do this job myself a number of years back. Had a leak in the passenger foot well. Paid around a tenner for a used rover 45 matrix. And changed it across 2 evenings. Full dash out job.
