i forgot to get new cam seals before i started and none of the honda dealers around here had them in stock.. so i had to order those. a slight set back.. more pics to follow as more progress is made :thumb:

#288963 note.. i did clean the pistons up before i slapped the head back on.. and while removing the intake mani i managed to break the PCV valve hose A. The rubber turned into hard plastic over the years.. New PCV valve hose sitting in my house.. just arrived yesterday as well as a new valve cover gasket.. hopefully my cam seals will be in shortly so i can finish putting the cams in. i hate leaving projects unfinished :x

#290090 well finally finished up the gasket install.. fired right up! :woot:

next weekend is time to weld up the exhaust! i ended up getting a black vibrant oval muffler instead of the twin loop. should sound nice and throaty! more updates as progress is made! keep posted! :thumb:

#290175 Its no wonder why people charge so much for head gasket replacements. Its alot of work! I just have a hard time paying for labor. All in all the whole deal cost me approx 200 bux with new gasket seals and headstuds.. Once i pulled the head i noticed it already had arp's installed. I put in the new ones anyway haha

Btw i have a set of used arp head studs for a b16 for sale. Willing to ship make an offer! They are in excellent shape!
