![]() 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 ![]() 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

![]() The key to working on imports is remembering that they are backwards.
Besides, why are you whining? That's only half a motor, so doing it twice is like building a real one once. ![]()

![]() Dude, suicidal over Honda?!?!? Don't make me drive down there!
Honestly, I think that was the entire plan of the pint-sized engineers in the first place; to see how they could avenge their loss in the quest for world domination by designing vehicles that can only be serviced by people with tiny arms and hands. ![]() Hey, look at it this way; now you know how to get that damn bolt out, and soon you too will be able to advise others on the do's and dont's of upgrading a Honda! Okay, well at least you know how to get the bolt out. ![]() Take care, ~Chris
