    Sorry if this is in the posted in the wrong area, but I'm going to be breaking my coupe but I'm not sure what my engine is worth. I got it from a donor car and the engine had done 140k, a month or two after using it the chain snapped. so it was fixed, it had the following, Honda pistion rings...

    pool of oil on top of the gearbox

    I've cleaned it up and I'm going to keep my eyes on it. I think it is the rocker gasket. It must just be running down there and gathering on the gearbox. Will sort another gasket out soon. Thanks for the reply's.

    pool of oil on top of the gearbox

    I keep finding a small pool of oil on the gearbox under the gear selector. Pretty sure it's engine oil, but I cant see anything obvious as to where the oil is coming from. Any idea's what might be causing this or has anyone had this problem before? thanks

    Oil pressure gauge, pressure readings

    I've installed a Innovate oil pressure and temp gauge in my kswap em2. I'm constantly looking at the oil pressure and I dont know what numbers I should be seeing really. The gauge reads in psi, what readings should I expect to see. thanks

    Still having a problem with this oil leak, but the idle is fixed. The idle control valve was really gunked up I've also removed the secondary idle assist. Look's like the mot will be next week now but that's not a problem as I wont be insuring it till April. :)

    Civic EM2

    Hopefully sorted the oil leak today and I've cleaned the idle control valve, it was very dirty and stiff to turn. Hopefully this will fix the hunting idle. If it does it will go in for it's mot sometime next week. One of my indicator bulbs had gone so I bought some chrome rear bulbs and side...

    Intake Manifolds - DC5 or JDM EP3

    Would it not be worth saving the money you was going to spend on a dc5 or jdm inlet towards a rbc inlet, you dont have to have the ecu maped for a rbc, as far as im aware. But im sure with a map you will get more out of it
