  1. door mounted mirrors were 85 only. the glass is also different in the doors on these. first year ea82.
  2. o ring an ea82:brow: ha ha:D good one GD. not that i have any machining skills beyond that of a block of marble for heads (damn that works good). I was toying with the idea of splitting the case and trying that trick out on the block. ill probably end up doing Doug's trick/method. i already maxed out the budget on this block by buying it for $40 complete lol. even sandpaper seems a bit of an expense........yup im cheap. real cheap, and broke to boot.
  3. forget the xt6 seats. youre gonna have to trade me cars. mine has rear xmember/ brakes/ sway bar from a gl 10. and its a ea82, that way youd have Safariwagon and Crapwagon 1 (5mt). its only a few days drive, meet you in montana? i miss my 83 wagon.
  4. i think id jb the bore before id try this on the hg surface. i just feel like the ''seal'' would blow much easier at the top than inside for some reason. and when exactly would i ever need to repair the bore in a ea82? lol we swim in them up here, not to mention ive never seen one without factory cross hatching still there. maybe ill do it on that block just to humor you Tom =). @ Quidam: i see what you are saying about sanding the pistons now (zero deck clearance= possible interference ea82, and that sucks even worse than these already do).
  5. thanx Doug, you are right, it wont hurt right now. but it will hurt if it wasnt up to snuff and my cheapness allowed me to build yet another ea82. ill give it the old bodyman once over with the sanding block. as far as cleaning the pistons goes the hgs did a wonderfull job of steam cleaning them to a shiny, almost brand new finish. i think what ill do is build the other block and then take the better heads off the current tired, pos motor or my other spares and build a 'b' motor, ready for drop in next time i blow one up. RV
  6. well, it protruded under the fire ring on the gasket so im not gonna use that block. so motor #4 will be a refurb of motor #2. waaaay dirtier:-\ oh well. cleaning time.
  7. its the pistons, different shape. i have a spare set but i need to inspect them for flaws as they've moved a couple times.
  8. huh, maybe id didnt pack them...pretty sure i dumped all of it into the box tho. at least you got stainless now
  9. did you get new clips already? i figured duct tape woulda kept the box together. oh well, next time ill wrap the whole box in vinyl.
  10. hey Charles...........whatcha sellin? welcome aboard
  11. just use regular old dino oil. you dont need any special crap, and 100k is not high mileage for your engine.
  12. the only thing cooling wise that an 'interfooler'' does is look cooler. zero impact on performance not related to parking lot posturing
  13. thank you Tom for posting this. usmb w the worlds smartest dumbphone does not include starting threads nor does it allow me to post pics very easily (i know how, my phone makes me homicidal). i have another block, but it has a bunch of calsified looking deposits (tap water?). i already cleaned this block up but apperently between tear down at the old place and here, well you saw it. advice????? thank you Ben, and thanx for the gaskets/seals
  14. if you run a motor with zero coolant the gauge will read zero. the temp sensor needs coolant to be in contact with it to get a reading. also, you said the leak was a heater hose so perhaps the combination of highway speeds, not running coolant thru the heater, and lowish coolant level yielded your gauge reading. keep an eye on your hgs
  15. friends dont let friends "race" crv's. wth was that guy thinking??? shoulda rented a fiat:Flame:
  16. ooo yeah! nothin like stuff that isnt a pile of rust yet eh?
  17. at LEAST $20. jk, im in at about 100-150. my main reason for wanting this, other than rarity, over a clutch lsd is im hoping itll be cheaper. i realize i could be off on price but i dont know what it costs to produce so............ya 100-150. flame on folks
  18. what kind of soob!? im assuming ea82, i bought my sealed bearings on amazon of all places, 7 a piece free shipping. they are chiners tho
  19. huh, ill have to go look at mine. mine is gl-10 suspension, but should be similar
  20. you gotta have the brackets on the trailing arms. if you trailing arms dont have em youll have to get creative.
  21. ive got a set for ya $20 shipped. i love oregon, my ma lives near siletz
  22. you will need the xmember from a turbo car, and route turbo plumbing/brake parts in such a way so as not to interfere with the BB/MC. plus the whole wiring harness song and dance. has it been done? not sure, check nabisco
