Plugs are supposed to be gapped at .42 .48 is that correct or am I even in the ballpark?

 

should be written on the emission label stuck under your hood. Usually gives valve lash plug gap catalyst type blah blah blah...

 

This hasnt been a good month for Hondas now has it??

Well since I only own the most basic of hand tools I drove the Si over to Sy2173s to use a longer extention etc to change the plugs.

I gap and change the plugs no big deal. Luckily I took a glance at my temp gauge about 1 mile into the trip home and its about 3/4 of the way to Hot????

????????????

Headed back to Sy2173s and after getting out of the car I started to hear a nice hissing noise and smelled coolant. Problem was that a BIG bug or rock/pebble punched a small hole in the radiator so it was spraying the front bumper with coolant and water NICE!!!


I just happen to have a fluidyne radiator sitting at home had to run pick it up drive back to the car and switch them out re-fill coolant etc etc. Got home around 5:15am this morning
If I would have already sold that fluidyne I would have been out of luck.

Think I might be putting a screen of some kind on the bumper to stop a repeat of this. Those factory radiators are a joke anyway.

This was obviously not nearly as bad as everyone elses recent problems Mr. Self Destruct etc. Thought Id just add to the collection on Honda problems this month

 

Its that time of year I guess. Just got done replacing both front wheel bearings...fun fun fun.

 

BOTH front wheel bearings? DAMN
