    Re: Teh AccordB20A Engine Rebuild Thread.

    need more people to buy JDM parts, but this is the wrong time of year to sell with this recession and all. stock balancing will be all good, dont wanna rev it past seven. if i can assemble the bottom end myself i may be able to shout out for some flash rod/head studs

    Re: Teh AccordB20A Engine Rebuild Thread.

    If your clearances are off, you will know when you Plastigauge the bearings. The book will give you a range of clearances. Then you take the Plastigauge and place it between the crank and bearings. You torque everything to spec, then take it apart and measure how much the Plastigauge squeezed out and that tells you the clearances.

    To make you feel more comfortable, you can take the crank to a shop and they can also mic it out and make sure that the crank is within tolerance. Then bring it home and double-check it with the Plastigauge (you should double check their work whenever possible anyways).

    i have heaps of those maplights that bolt into the rood of the car but you need to cut the head lining and install a bracket in there to use it, its the smaller most common maplight for the non sunroof cars.

    What's it look like? If getting the 88-89 bumper and fixed light bumper lights from you turns out too expensive or you can't find them, I could maybe buy the lip...

    Re: Teh AccordB20A Engine Rebuild Thread.

    i have a feeling that shipping the bumpers going to cost over 500euro, talked to my mate alex yesterday hes switched on with the shipping prices, sop unless you turn into a millionaire/get one from the USA i dont think i can ship you a bumper.
    As for the lip ill PM you a pic of it.
