lil update. The night before I got the safety inspection, the slave cylinder blew out. No biggie. Got the car inspected and ready for permanent registration...boo yah! what ever. The next morning go to start er up.........
crank crank, metallic noise followed by no compression cranking.
Cylinder 1 and 3 intake valves bent. After about fifty miles of driving, the new timing belt decided to slip on a cold start up. I had questioned at least 10 people about belt deflection on this car when cold and even certified Honda techs came up with different answers. I guess I found out the hard way. So with that being said, I have spent
150- nused cylinder head
50- head bolts (Honda)
38- headgasket
13- intake gasket
Need to still buy- Honda Parts
Timing belt- 52
Water Pump- 83
Tensioner- 63
Sometimes it just doesnt pay to buy aftermarket parts
It has been determined to be a bad t belt and just now need to get this thing running and back on the road so I can get all my receipts and hope to get reimbursed for this shit.
This car has been a black cloud since I got her home
