<![CDATA[Engines out, now i got a problem!]]>SO last night after work i came home and pulled my motor, neighbors arent too happy but whatever. Got it out around 1 - 2 am, Loaded it into my bros truck at 2am. Started to work on it at 9 - 10 pm last night so i got it out in quite a short while for it being my first honda motor ive pulled.

Now the problem is that the drivers side axle is stuck in the tranny. I tried everything to get it out, prying got no where except for taking a very small chunk out of the tranny. How the hell can i get this out?

Also the pin for the shift linkage wont come out either so i had to pull the entire linkage from the car instead of just undoing it from the tranny. How do i get this out?

Other than those 2 problems it came out just fine. those 2 things are what actually kept the engine in longer seeing how i was working on those for about an hour to an hour and a half.

also i did this by myself because no one came over and helped. But i guess it was a school night.

But i guess torbs is just retarded and thinks e85 is top shit.

You can make between 400 and 500 whp all day EASILY on pump gas, so I don't see why an all motor SOHC is gonna need it....

Ethanol is an alcohol, which also lowers where one might consider "stoich."

In order to run as rich as necessary with E85 you will have to increase the fuel system dramatically. What do you do when you go somewhere where you cannot get E85? Run regular gas and then have your car run like shit because it's too rich?

E85 is a consumer grade "bio" gas, which takes just as much petroleum to refine as normal gas. Weird, why use it? Anyways, if you want race gas, buy race gas. If you want pump gas, buy pump gas.

Hey fuckin guys listen to people for once>

  1. E85 IS NOT RACE GAS. ITS FUCKING CORN GAS. Leave it at the pump where it belongs.
  2. SS LINE is RUBBER on the inside unless you buy teflon coated inner.
  3. SS LINE is NOT 60 dollars a foot.
  4. all motor single cam is like masturbation, in the end you're only fucking yourself (very slowly I might add)
  5. Race gas on an all motor SOHC making probably what will be 15 hp is also a waste of money.

Torbs, do you know how much stainless lines are? i have a foot of it and it was like $60 bux, go to stealthmodeperformance.com and look at the prices of lines. Plus injectors are expensive and with having to run more fuel it would be more expensive.

Plus unless he sleeves or fills the block, or runs a block guard (which I personally wouldn't do) honda sleeves have a tendency of shifting which causes head gaskets to blow.

Just not worth it in my opinion. I'd just run OEM gaskets. 🙂

A couple minor other things fuel wise but thats all, and an MSD ignition.

Also dont forget lots of tuning time next summer.

Wow, oh wow.... Do some more research buddy! First word of advice quit reading forums all the time trying to get smart.
