noice. i want one when i get some money
I have a feeling stepping forward and buying this has set me up for alot of fun work on the car :D
I will wait on ordering the Came Shaft till I get home, Since I need to send in the core and don't feel like spending 75$ +shipping to get a extra one over to them.
Not wanting to dissapoint.
I went ahead and ordered myself The Valve Kit first. XD

So I have almost spent more on these two parts then I did buying the car. But I kind of like it that way.
I almost thought about buying a second hand camshaft and sending it in, but I thought that might be douchie so I didn't do that.

It's not really. I mean if the other camshaft is mangled and bent, then that would be kinda douchey. But if you were to go to the wreckers and send one of those in, they usually can use that to regrind anyways. I mean, the one you'd be pulling out of your car in exchange is used too. They can rework them and make them nice again. :)

Well I'm in the middle of no where right now in Cali
*we are doing a Op*
and my car is in Texas and has been for the past 8 months.
But I'll have my family send me pictures of the parts, I should be able to get the pictures for the cam gear in a few. and then the rest when the part comes in. XD...Gawd it feels so nice to have parts finally shipping in for the car.
BTW I almost bought the OBX headers last night but I'm deciding to wait till The first of April for those. *lol not a joke*
*edit*
do you think I could cheat my way out of paying a bit of shipping by sending the camshaft to them say if I order it from ebay or amazon. you know instead of sending it home, then sending it to them. XD
Alright I have some pictures of the Cam Gear, keep in mind these aren't very good, the person taking the pictures doesn't have that amazing of a phone. but I'll be sure to post more once I get home and actually open it and install it.
XD since I love to show my work with pictures, I'll be sure to get alot for you guys.

Nice! :D
Thanks.
BTW I got a confirmation, My Valve kit has been mailed, so here in the next couple of days I should have some nice pictures for you all. :D
Man she is going to be so awesome to drive after this. such a upgrade in a 10 day period will be epic.
So I got a message today.
My new Main bearings came in. :D was so happy.

And then 30 minutes later got another message saying my valve kit came in as well. XD FRICKING SWEET!
http://i776.photobucket.com/albums/yy41/nionai/0308111933.jpg
I think I'm going to take leave on like the 20th of april, this way I can take 15 days off, and get 2 checks while I'm home.
Sweet cant wait untill the install and dyno :)

Did you ordered bearings before you dismantled the block? These engines have tolerance issues, you need to read the number on the block and you have a chart that dictates thickness of bearings. they are never the same thickness.

How many different type of main crank bearings are there for the A20A3?
Anyways, last I checked these would fit, so all should be good.

its better to double check everything before making a decision.

I did, I hunted for like a week. and I was only able to find several parts, they where the same ones listed on autozone/autoparts but on Amazon for 10$ less.
and I was only able to find two sets, one which was only the bottom barrings, and the ones I ordered.
so that's why I was a little confused about him posting this.
*edit* I didn't notice any that where oversized, wouldn't that mean I would have to have them custom made?

Damn, that is a sexy looking gear. Hell, I might sell my custom job to partly fund one of those.
Nothing really spectacular with this purchase. but ordered a good bit of parts.
brand new starter, New springs with 1.6' drop, Refurbed CV joints *the whole shaft*, a gasket kit, and a new drivers side window since the old one was destroyed a long time ago.
I'm going to have about a grand to spend over the next month, expect the OBX exhaust and the Bisi cameshaft to come soon. I'll post pictures with my camera once I get home, since I'm going to be there in about 5 days anyways.
Also I'm picking up new rotors and new brakes. :P so happy she is finally moving along.

sweet! Moar pics in 5 days!!!
I GOT PICTURES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now keep in mind I haven't started work. I spent the last 3 days flying from San Diego to Baltimore, and then driving from Quantico Virginia to Amarillo Texas.
Tomorrow we head to the junk yard to grab some random parts. and then we start work on the car. :P I'll get some pictures of the car later tonight. Keep in mind she has been sitting for 8 months without any work.
But without further waiting, Here are some pictures. :D

oh yea I forgot to take the picture. I also have the main and rod bearings. :D

Just a quick shot of the dirty interior.
http://i776.photobucket.com/albums/yy41/nionai/My%2089%20Honda%20Accord/IMG202.jpg
The engine bay is a mess, dusty and has all sorts of leaves in it. so I got a lot cut out for me. :D but I know I can do it.
BTW ignore some of the spots on the primer, Its because of the dirty rain. remember I haven't got to touch her in a long time.
Also the driver side window is sitting in front of me right now, >.> I don't want to open the packaging till I install it.

Cool love the coupe accords, word of advice though keep your head gasket as a spare and get yourself a Felpro one instead to use, much better quality and will hold better and last longer.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll keep it in mind when I pick up another one. :3
