Did some work on it this weekend..
Removed my UUC short shifter, installed my AKG solid mounted race shifter.
Then pulled the intake manifold..
Then the valve cover..
Got some euro parts arriving on Monday, then another two coming from England which will be next week.
Hondabond is arriving from Orlando and will be used with a new OEM valve cover gasket kit to seal the valve cover again, as I was getting quite a bit of oil in the spark plug areas.
Doing a throttle body coolant delete/bypass, and using an adapter to remove the barb in the head ( 4 pics above, RHS) and plug it with my water temp sensor. The rest of the hoses will be remove from under the intake manifold, which will greatly clean it up (yay, tight squeeze in there to begin with).
Then I will be fitting a euro hard coolant line which runs behind the back of the head and along the firewall. This will replace the hose that you see running along the fender to the expansion tank, which currently sits against the #1 primary, which cause this whole "upgrade" to be done in the first place.
