Prepare to get rickled!

Yea gametracker is quite uselss in my opinion, it doesn't track anything. Basicly it just states who played the most lol. And when you change your name, it doesn't take the old stats with it

It is a really nice, helpful service. You can take basically all the time you need & return it to any AutoZone store when you're done. The local one here hasn't even charged me a deposit the few times I've used the service over the past 30 years.

its very rewarding when you can do it as seen here savings of $ 1,000 plus a big smile of accomplishment

Yup. Can go to AutoZone here & they will do the OBD2 reading, print-out the results, & explain what it means...for free. Can get a torque wrench for $20 or again, get free loaner tools to borrow from AutoZone. People don't give themselves enough credit, but rather talk themselves out of doing something they can likely accomplish, before they even try. The way I see it, & in my experience: If someone else learned how to do it, so can I.

Here's the 7 minute video I watched. Very basic steps. Surely you could do it in 3 hours, if not 30 min. Still well worth saving $330 labor.

you already is for can cook ? only no heat just a good toolkit, OBD2 read tool with clear codes option and a troque wrenches inch and Ft LBs, baggies to place and tag parts/bolts/screws to keep order, note book to keep what order taken parts off to get to the issue and a camera as the stages of disasymblely go and a good pair of gloves to keep clean and no knuckle busters, as Tim say YouTube is good heads up on the task of repair. south main auto is good one to watch and you gotta have lots patience like playing black jack, a tip on rusty parts spray oil penetrating/anti-rust on 3 days before taking apart an oil threads after.

It's not that difficult. Especially when a motherfucker starts telling me they want $750 for taking 1/2 hour to install an $80 part. Plenty of great mechanics showing the procedures step-by-step on YouTube. Subreddits dedicated to particular make & model year vehicles. Mechanic forums. Chat gpt. $750 is more than enough motivation to take a day off work to learn & do it myself. In this case it was a 7 minute YouTube video & 1/2 hour to do the job. Same with the PCV valve I replaced the day before that. They wanted $250 to take 15 minutes to replace a $10 part. Literally as simple as removing a hose, spinning the old part out with a deep-well socket- just like you would a spark plug- & replacing it with the new part. Oh, & a 30 cent crush washer if you want to be extra super careful. $1,000 dollars for $90 worth of parts & 45 minutes of work. Fuck that noise.

Wish I was more mechanical. I usually do more damage than good.

go in to your profile NOW and select settings to change Email address. take a screen shot with phone if change your PWD or write in your PWD book if memory that good oops that your current mail address not login there you can edit the correct info

Haha I will send you a PM on facebook as soon as I can no longer login. I am a idiot and my user name has caused grief before (loADER>XI<) was changed to (loaderXI) as a work around and Rockape set a password that I may or may not remember Besides I'm just going to blame BlackRose anyways

i typed in game that tomorrow we would love to see our players in the ctf server, don't know if the message got trough though

Have a GREAT birthday everyone!!!

BlacRose how many times i must explain you that Retarded is not same than Retired? its about time you got this right? A joke, do not take seriously or you will be tariff for humor coming from Spain..... lol Mikel

104 inch-pounds is 8.667 foot pounds; I torque each to 9 ft.-lbs.

Im going to repost this in our FB group,,more ppl see it there then come here!!lol

Wait a minute!! I thought you retired!!!

you clear the codes, question is the engine light out ? i like duedillance there Tim for me for me on hydraulic spool bodys i go under the spec, your @ 24 Ft-LBs. total of the 3 bolts. best is Surface the body when grooved for 0-ring will allow more tension on 0-ring an let viscous seal take over without distorting the valve case. note when machined isn't at engine tempureture.

My 2cnts!!!

104 inch-lbs for my model year.

Happy Birthday and have a great day

note: over torquing the screws may distort the valve body, this why i surface the mounting area to get a good seal @ 15 inchLBs torque. see dealer is 400% mark up on the part

Happy Birthday everyone.

then seems spool stuck or the coil went dead was the issue, if still engine light still on with new part, can check oil pressure when hot (Ozhonda.com) VTEC system requires 25 to 30 psi to kick in, but it is recommended to have a good 50 to 70 psi for reliability. At idle, the oil pressure should be about 15-30 psi, while at 3000 rpm, it should be around 55-70 psi. The VTEC oil pressure switch would only be ON when pressure is something above 40 PSI. If the oil pressure is below the recommended range, it may indicate a problem with the oil pump or a clogged oil passage, which can affect the proper functioning of the VTEC solenoid. and the fuel pressure pump is putting 38-40 PSi on fuel rail.

I am not sure, I will ask wife.
