hondata IM gasket?

By 93hatcheg
- Sun May 02, 2010 6:15 am #191413 any one have any experience with these i have one on my z6 and it take up almost all the threads on my head.

as in the studs dont come out the end of the nuts holding on the im. is that normal?

im trying to track down the reason my idle surges :x bleed my coolant, cleaned iavc, tightened fitv. and put in new hondata IM gasket and oem honda TB gasket, also replaced all my vaccume lines.

im lost on this :?

could by ignition timing by anyway in hell have any effect over this??? i dont think i could but i dont know for sure... thanks every one

But IMO i would just use a stock one. I doubt you will see a significant change by putting it on :? .

As for your idle. you pretty much did what i would tell you. Just double check the vacuum hoses. Including the ones for your PCV.

but if its cause my idle surge then i will get rid of it in a heart beat lol

Ignition timing plays a huge part with your idle. The ECU uses ignition timing adjustments to keep your idle steady because the engine responds much faster to timing changes than to the IACV motor.

ight well i guess that works out good for me since i have a hondata IM gasket with my JRSC!

also thanks suspendedhatch for the advice on the ignition timing...it makes sense cause when my timing was retarded too much it never did it...then i put it back to like 16degrees or something and it started suging the idle again
