[87roach]

[2ndGenGuy]

Yay it lives!

Not yet. The pulley key fell into the gravel in my driveway and disappeared. I'm going to Honda today to see if they have any.

^^ fuck thats gay when that happens, i remember making one out of a nail once for my old a20's cam haha

[87roach]

My comment was actually for Mark, but that really sucks about the key.. I can see your driveway now and just thinking to myself.. crap haha. You are probably better off just buying another one..

That happened to me when I was installing frantik's adj.cam gear, the key fell behind the timing cover.
Luckily my buddy Doug was there and made one up with a thick heavy washer and dremel.
We had no choice since it was a weeknight around 9pm

Isn't that always when things go wrong?

[87roach]

Hey John, do you have a big magnet? If you have an extra speaker or sub or something you can run it over the area and maybe it will pick it up? Just an idea, I don't know if the key is magnetic or not.. I assume.

[2ndGenGuy]

Right, so looks like it's been almost a year since any update on this. Not very good. Well, since the headgasket blew again, I decided to do a total rebuild of the engine again, got the transmission rebuilt, blah blah so it's my daily driver again.

Anyways, I decided to do a little work on the distributor housing, because my old solution to block off the distributor wasn't working too well to prevent oil leaks... In fact, it had left a nice coat of oil all over my engine bay.


I had another distributor / thermostat housing hanging out, and decided to do a little custom work to it. I had a friend of mine weld the hole up where the distributor used to go, and I cut off the flange for the adjustment bolt. Ground it all down nice and smooth, looks pretty mint.



Here it is installed. Looks cleaner too.

[Hazwan]

OMG its been that long o:

[Dr_Snooz]

Looking good! Much less ghetto than the last one.

[87roach]

Much less! haha. Good work man.

[itzdave]

cant wait to start this project on my hatch!

[2ndGenGuy]

LOL. Well I know the square plate looked ghetto, I was going to shape it to match the housing, but wanted to make sure it was going to be okay first. Glad I didn't waste my time, because it leaked like a sieve.

[MessyHonda]

so going to rebuild it again? do you think you can order some ARP studs this time?

[A18A]

that looks oem, you could probably fool someone into thinking the car never had a dizzy from factory lol

[2oodoor]

Nah, I just finished rebuilding it, and I did put the ARP studs in this time. So far, so good!
