I bet as soon as you fix that valve cover, that baby will run as good as new...with it cracked, it acts as a HUGE vacuum leak. Nice steal Bro!

Oh, the valve cover is good, just one of the bolts was overtorqued so it snapped, some of the bolt is still in the head. How much bolt, I dont yet know, though hopefully there is enough to use an easy out. If not, then I'll have to drill out the bolt and possibly retap/rehelio where the bolt goes into the head which means lifting the head to clean it to ensure all the shavings are out of it.

We'll see hopefully there is enough bolt left to use an easy out, in which case I can just isolate the remaining portion of the bolt from the rest of the head with either cloth or paper so that all the shavings made go into it. We'll see though, I'm **** so I may just rebuild the entire engine. It would be only about the 50th Honda engine I've rebuilt, while it is a motorcycle engine (which will be a first for me), its still a Honda inline 4, just rev's a little higher than what I'm used to dealing with.

It all starts this weekend after Thanksgiving, pictures will follow.

 

Requesting a few pics of the Civic too

 

That sig is an older sig bro. The Si is being pieced out now. I'm putting the stock B16A2 back into it that came out of it (20k mi motor, chassis only has 59k on it) and going to make it my daily driver. I'll then turn my attention to the Prelude, my goal is to make it the only B20 (A5) based 3rd generation putting down 500whp. We'll see though, I have more projects than time as it is.

I'll see about digging up some pictures of the Si in its glory days though.
