Honda help...

[PonymanfiveO]

Would anyone be kind enough to stop over one night this week and give me a hand swapping engines in my beater civic? I dont know shit about front wheel drive stuff and Im getting aggravated with it.:mad:

Im sure its a fairly easy job, Im just having a hard time working by myself.
Id be glad to pay for your help if I can.

Mad Matt, PM me some directions to your castle. What day you workin on it?

[Mista Bone]

Matt, you have the EASIEST Honda to swap......3-4 hours tops.

Just this is the wrong week for me, I have quite a few cars in a shootout next weekend at National Trails to get ready.

take the trans. out with the motor?

I have everything unbolted from the motor but I cant get the motor and trans separated in the car.:confused:

Matt, I have not done a honda, but with most other front wheel drive cars, we usually pop the lower ball joints loose, remove the axles, and drop the motor/trans together including the K-frame that the a-arms are bolted to. I just did a trans in a tauras and the frame removal method is about the only way.

I would call Craig and get Joe'e's number. He is a honda guru.

When removing the tranny. on 19mm head bolt goes thru to the rear mount, another 17mm from motor to tranny...also one starter bolt threads into the block.

Great to hear Matt! Now it shouldn't be too bad...

On a side note, the BPR got finished too... Powerslot rotors, Hawk pads, new calipers and new hub assemblies...

Heck yea, we got a lot done this week. Working on cars from daylight till dark in this heat will wear you down fast.

[VuNiT3]

Yeah, thanks for working on that beast for me!!! It rides awesome now. I tried to help with the honda, but the only thing I got out was some blood out of my finger.

It is weird to drive a truck that actuall stops now. LOL It cost a small fortune, but it was well worth it.:bigthumb

You are welcome Matt! No gas money, just bring some Keystones with you Saturday. Glad to help a brotha out!
