Caboobaroo Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 problems now. I got the new waterpump on there and a new belt as well, put some antifreeze/water mix into it and fired it up. Well she smokes really badly due to either a blown headgasket or a cracked head, leaks oil from somewhere around the turbo but I haven't dug into it yet, and just needs some lovin. I got a post in the Marketplaceabout needing parts so take a look at it and help a guy out. So now its time to pull the engine and do some mods to it while its out. Grrr I hate having very little money and there's now 3-4" of snow on the ground. Even though the motor is havin issues, the tranny is still good!!!

WJM Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Check for obvious areas of coolant leak....intake manifold gaskets, and such...could just be some PCV system issue letting oil in the intake tract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hondasucks Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 still has enough power to get sideways, even with the automatic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted November 30, 2004 Author Share Posted November 30, 2004 I can check to see if the intake is leaking but I figure I'll pull the motor out and do a reseal on it since the pan gasket is a bit leaky. Also want to put those cams in from you Will once I get them;) and also put a new oilpump on there as well. I kinda want to make this nice even though my budget is tight. Hopefully I can get her goin good before the New Year. I'm also planning on upgrading the turbo to a TD04 as well. I can check the PCV to see but its got oil coming from the turbo area since the heat shields have oil sprayed on them. Now its time to go to bed since I just got home from a long night of work...Update will come about 5pm this afternoon I hope:D Yes it did have enough power to kick it sideways...it was FUN! I can't wait until its up to full potential!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
