Hello im a noob... my name is Joe i just got a 88 Accord on Fri for $250, so far i spent about 80 on tune up parts . I did remove most of the vac. lines. now my only leak is the intake manifold gasket .. how hard is that ? .. the valves and timing are good .. but the fuel cut off valve dosent work so it runs a little after i turn off the key.. so it idles weird , thats because of the leaky gasket? ... oh this is my first water cooled motor .. Im a VW AirHead ..

The carby A20A1 engines run off the wall with any vacuum line removed. Probably do good with that 38/38 weber set-up with the 4th stage vacuum removal. You'll have fun getting to the intake bolts on the bottom. :welcome:

thats sweet "side drafts" .. thanks for the ideas..... so the bottom bolts are going to suck.. thats ok it needs to be done .. better to do it right the first time, right. I did the remove all the emissions stuff ie the black box,the cat,egr and the air pulse thing, every thing not needed. no ac or cruise ...

hahah. They do. They're just really rare. I bet that there are people on this board who would kill another person to get a set.

welcome to 3geez... if your angry about no cup holders then you should look into some SE-i ones from the fuel injected model, i know theres a few people selling some , good luck with your project

[koss007]

thanks every one .. it is a project .. i was driving my 73 beetle around and i seen this car .. i like the way it looked. and about 2 hours later it was mine, and about 10 mins after driving ,it die at a red light . i was like "man what did i get my self into" ... but i fixed most of the prob's . Im sure ill be on here alot reading and asking Q's

ok so i been reading about milling the head .. how much is milled off to make a 10:1 C/R ? sorry im a VW man .. im just asking because im thinking about a rebuild this winter ..

[MessyHonda]

you wont get anywhere near 10:1 on just milling the head...even if you milled the block and head you might be able to bump up compression to like 9.5
