I got tired of dealing with these blog/comment sites IE: MySpace/Xanga. So we now have are own website. TrinkleTime.com Check it out when you get a chance. For those of you that we like shoot one of us an email and you can get to the secret pages.

      So this was my final attempt at stopping the oil leak.  I never really update this on time but I try to keep it as chronological as possible.

I received my crank pulley removal tool.  This works great, I recommend it to anyone with a Honda.  Even if you use air tools, this will still come in handy.


What it does is go on the the crank pulley and hold it in place while you take the 19mm out of the center.   If you don't have one of these you'll just spin your crankshaft and engine relentlessly trying to get it off.
I'm using the B16B pulley which is much lighter because there is only one pulley for the alternator, no powersteering  and no ac.


Unfortunetly if you don't have any air tools available you better have a very long breaker bar.  This is supposed to be torqued on with around 130 ft/lbs.  Now that's not that bad if that's what it really is at but knowing that most shops break out their 1/2in drive 500 lb/ft impact drivers when they put them back on it is highly doubtful that you will be so lucky for it to be at 130lb/ft.  Even if never removed the years of use will have it solidified to your crank. 

So let me show you what doesn't work

1/2in to 3/8th in adapter.  Big no no unless you want to bust your ass on concrete like I did.


So after breaking the am-pro one I had I also broke the craftsman one.


Picking up an impact socket and a steel pipe I got it off.



The reason I was taking this apart was because I thought the timing belt tensioner was loose and I wanted to inspect it.  You have to take the lower timing belt over off to get to it and you have to remove the pulley to get the lower belt cover off.  Everything ended up being ok anyway but better safe then sorry.


Now the oil leak.  I removed the valve cover and then the cams and all.  On LS motors you don't need to remove the cams to get to the head studs but on b series vtec motors you do.  So I torqued the headstuds down some more just to be safe.  Then I cleaned the exhaust cam seal and with some rtv reinstalled it along with everything else.




I also decided to paint my wheels flat black again.  Anything to get rid of that obnoxious red.



While taking this picture I fell into murphys new 13,000 volt cattle fence.  After getting knocked to the ground 2 times and then having lost all feeling of my legs and getting burned a little I managed to limp away alive.



Started to make an intake which is now finished.



Had my fuel pressure regulator from B&M explode on me causing fuel with about 50psi of pressure to spray out all over the engine.  Luckily it didn't catch fire.




So the oil leak is better.  I still think that it's the vtec solenoid but for right now it's under control enough that I don't care.  Everything is running good, I still need to tune it but that will come in the future.

Hello all and welcome to this extension of ClubIntegra.com. Hopefully this will be a useful place for both Integra and non-Integra owners to swap info, share stories, post useful technical information, as well as meet new people. I am probably not as Xanga savvy as most of the users around here but I will try to keep this updated and entice as many members as possible.
