Man these 3geez are rally reliable. The body might be rusted out but that engine just keeps on purring. Pretty soon these baby's will be classics!
86 LX........ did not notice till just few minuts ago it said made in japan lol
yeah. so now you have a parts car eh? its a good feeling isnt it? i have a parts car for my dastun 280Z and its a big help. as for the car smoking like in winter when its first started, mine still does that and it only has about 126000 miles on it. i found that if i open the choke manually it will stop the smoking due to mine running a bit rich. i'm going to convert to a manual choke for this problem.
Keep it HONDA. Or at least Asian.™

B18C swap ditched, A20 to be revived
Looking for K20/trans for ultimate swap
update just did a compression test on it after it sat for 3 months #1 175 psi #2 172psi #3 175 psi #4 170 psi
Dam that Accord been to hell and back and it on it way back.
LX-R coming soon Here's a hint. 89mm stroke/ 41.60cc head /ARP head & main stud's /SRP piston's 81.5mm 9:5:1/Crower Rod's & more to come
that aint that rusty, it will buff right out
That is damn good compression readings. If there isn't any major oil leaks, than your motor is in good condition. Generally, rear main seals leak on older motors.
As far as the rust & body work. A cutting tool, sheet metal, grinder & welding machine should knock it out. Just need to learn the skills to do it right. (no need for all that since it is a donor car)
.
fixing the rust lmao this thing is way to far gone thats why its are doner
well today we finaly got the motor outa her
looks good gl with the swap
wonder what we should do with the old motor?
scrap metal people might pick it up atleast at my school we have a company come pick up scrap motors and other metal stuff
haha could throw it in the wheel barow and walk up to the scrap yard being i live near two of them............ asked my dad wat he wants to do with it. he wants to take it apart to figure out why its smoking.......
cool maybe it the head gasket but i don't know why it would do it when its cold hmmmm...
sweet mother of rust. lol... i just had to say that lmao.. good luck on the repair
its a brandnew head gasket on it we replaced it last summer and we replaced the rubber seals on the head ect made it worseOriginally Posted by 87lxiaccord
probably the rings after all the motor has done over 1million k's
nice engine hoist, that metal looks like it woulda snapped lol. but seeing it doesnt have a tranny it must be rather light
