Well this is not my project but my best friends. We both had a few honda's like this in highschool. My old one was totaled by a drunk driver years ago and his car fell apart. He now has a truck and gas is killing him. He is a automotive tech and this car came in for a no start issue.
Turns out the cam shaft broke on number 4. Well the people did not want the car and he bought it from his work for 150$! The car is a one family owned everything works besides the tape deck! The inside looks brand new! The pain has seen better days But it does have 4 brand new tires! We found a set of vx wheels for 100$ and put the new tires on them.
The cam shaft broke due to oil starvation It had bad valve stem seals on cyl number 2. I was able to find a low mileage head for 60$ and the gaskets were 30$ well Today we put it together with the new head and it came to life first kick of the switch! Hooked a mechanical oil pressure gauge and it was perfect. The car drives like new besides a clutch letting out at the top which I have the under autozones life time warrenty as well as breakpad and almost everything maintance wise. Everything works perfect the a/c is ice cold! Not a bad investment with less then 350$ bucks so far You dont get deals like this everyday! I will get somemore pics soon this is when we first got it!
