NGK copper... Platium is the biggest waste of money for a spark plug, if you want long life get an iridium
Hello guys, Do I have to order Prelude upper control arm if I put yellowspeed coilovers. Or I'm good with my stock parts with my accord 89'.
If not do you know who sells prelude 2nd Gen upper control arm? Thanks!
No... you don't, unless you wan't fine camber control.
You can occasionally find them on ebay
Trying to figure out the order in which to adjust my valves i saw a video sayin cylinder 1,3,4,2 is this correct?

I would follow the book procedure until you understand what your looking at and the function of the cam and rocker arm.
In general you adjust valves with the rocker arms on the base circle of the a cam AKA the loose side.

I have a 1983 accord that keeps going through voltage regulators. Wondering if a later model or any internally regulated alternators would direct fit.
A20A3 is the woodruff key for the crank pulley and the timing belt gear one piece, or are there two keys, one for each?

Pretty sure there is just 1
Are you sure you didn't get the one for the cam?
Make sure you put that bolt back on with loctite or all the ugga duggas your impact can handle
anything at all on how to replace the clutch cable on a 87 honda accord lxi pgmfi ? Access under the dash looks impossible. No videos on any car with a clutch cable. I already have the parts. No threads I could find here about it. Nothing in my manuals showing me the procedure. No searching results in the forums here for clutch cable or cable show anything , not that im about to cycle through 480 pages of threads.
Truth is as useless to a fool as legs are to the lame, and a fool repeats his folly like a dog returns to its vomit A fool also convinces himself that he is right in his own eyes and, therefore, can disregard and even ridicule other people’s advice
Pretty sure its just hooked over the end. Its tight, yeah, but you should just barely be able to see it.
I found a video of a guy showing a pedal assembly outside the car and he showed me how to hook it. I managed to replace my clutch cable in about an hour. Fully adjusted. Thanks for the reply! I used a piece of guide wire to thread through the hole in the pedal assembly and firewall to help guide the new cable hook through and then it was a huge pain, but I got the hook over the top of the highest point on the clutch pedal. It was overall easier than I thought. I was afraid I needed more access under the dash to get to the top of the clutch pedal. Luckily, my hands are as small as the Japanese.

Its not a fun job, it is surprisingly cramped behind the dash. Leave that to all 3 pedals being strangely overcomplicated

Where was it leaking from? You probably just need to replace the gaskets
I did a vacuum smoke test and looks like I have a leak coming from the "by-pass body assembly"? Here is a picture, it's NOT leaking from the gaskets, it's leaking at the spring where the shaft goes through..
Cant see the picture yet (sometimes its delayed in showing after the post) but i would assume you can take it apart, the spring off and most likely find an o-ring in there you could replace. I dont know if its an oring but i would assume it is. By the way not all orings are equal, you want one made from the material that can withstand oil and gas. I forgot what kind that is, automotive grade at the hardware store.
Hows that for a generic answer.
