Just thought I would vent.....For the last two weeks I have been working on my crx. I am converting it over to a V-tec set-up. I was tearing the engine down when I came to the crank pulley.
The bolt on the crank pulley sucks @ss......It took me 2 days to get it off. I ended up borrrowing a 1/2 inch drive 4 ft long break over bar, and jumping off of a chair on to it several times to get the damn thing off. (Thanks PKRWUD)
At this point I was thinking that the hard part was over. I went and bought some more new parts and then installed the new v-tec head. I was happy that I was almost done cause I was out of patience and out of skin on my knuckles.
The moment of truth was here, I turned the key and it started right up. and was loud as hell, thanks to 11 to 1 compression
Then I hit another problem the damn V-tec solenoid wouldnt work. I got online and ask some import guys what the deal was and they said Oh man!!!!......I said what!, What do you mean oh man!!!!..........then he said I bet you forgot to pop the oil control valve out of the block didnt you
.................Heres the deal I dont know **** about hondas, so I relied on tech articles on the net. The one I decided to use never mentioned anything about poping the oil control valve out of the block.
Point of my story is I have to take the damn engine back apart again, and go through all of this again
I HATE HONDUH"S
