    That exhaust sits right behind the driver and ecu, which tends to cook the components in the ecu. That's probably why the exhaust was wrapped. There is an ecu harness extension that moves it away from the heat, just don't remember the site... also, honda jazz calipers make a good front break upgrade.

    I’m a Honda guy and watching him put in 75w90 Just hurts my soul. Short term everything should be fine. However, you were going to develop shifting issues. The synchro are going to work correctly because of the thick oil. This is going to lead to grinding of gears. I hope you read this before you guys drive this thing.

      If that's GL-5 gear oil (I'm 90% certain it is), I hope his synchros are able to withstand the additives. I literally just replaced my transmission after running this oil not knowing it was specifically meant for differentials, not transmissions.

    To check valve lash you have to turn each piston to compression stroke before measuring so the valves are completely closed and the feeler gauge can go in. That is why you found the lash super loose even after double checking.

    Honda valvetrains tend to be clackity when cold. But it’s also easy to miss the clearance on a valve even after thinking you double checked everything. I’ve definitely done it a time or three. But also the rocker arms are supposed to be loose like that, due to the cold valve lash clearance.

    As with most period Hondas, distributor bearings are a major failure point on the E07A, so you should probably check it. It's not too hard to change. The E07Z variant was available with both a turbo and COP ignition. I always thought it'd be fun to swap one in with a MS (particularly because ECU failure is also a period Honda failure point), especially if I could keep the ITB setup as well.

    Mark is officially better than the other guys on this channel. I can’t remember their names anymore.

    Anyone remember when @Fasterproms squeezed a K series into a Smart Car? “Kater-tot”They wound up modifying and swapping not only the entire engine and transaxle, but the entire subframe also. Soooo… Mark, there’s always that option 😂

    Loving the content as usual. I kinda miss the evo though. Any chance on an update soon?

    I think us doesn't have it but some 1.0 3 cylinder turbo would have been a great choice also
