Im suicidal
 

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:D

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:eek: .................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

Oh God, good luck, that HAS to suck. I feel for ya man. :mad:

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.:D

Good point duece, Last night I went out to take it back apart. I stared at it for a few minutes and then went to drink a beer, and I dont drink :o

Maybe I can bring myself to start on it tonight.

Your first mistake was buying a CRX, your second mistake was trying to fix it, 3rd mistake was not throwing it out on the street. lol j/k with you. :D That is tough luck man, I hate **** like that man.

Best of luck,

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,
