    B16a2 head rebuild

    No, wouldn't have been able to do compression test without installing a new timing belt and getting everything timed.

    B16a2 head rebuild

    I've managed to take the cylinder head off this weekend and all the valves look good, nothing bent. I assume when I was looking with endoscope camera, what I saw were those indentations on the piston, because there's no evidence of valves and pistons making contact. Just for reference this...

    B16a2 head rebuild

    After 17 years and 185 miles on what appears to be original components, the timing belt in my 2000 Si finally decided to take a break. I bought the car with 180k miles and have been planing on replacing the belt and other components once it cools down a little bit, but now I am forced to replace...

    EM1 Civic Si Front End clunk

    I want to update this thread in case someone else comes across it with similar issue. After checking everything I could think of (or find on forums) I decided to replace the rear engine mount. New vs. old (I think you can figure which one is which) I've heard the noise couple more times...

    EM1 Civic Si Front End clunk

    I've replaced the front bottom torque mounts as soon as I bought the car, they were shot. Then I checked the top mounts (on each side) and they look fine. Only one I haven't checked is the rear mount, but the noise doesn't seem to be coming from that area. It's very annoying. I've dealt...

    EM1 Civic Si Front End clunk

    Yesterday I had a chance to check a few things: - checked the tie rod lock nut made sure they're tight and secure - inspected inner tie rod boots, they look good and no leaks around them - made sure rack & pinion bolts are tight - with car on jackstands, tried rocking and moving each one of the...

    EM1 Civic Si Front End clunk

    I've experienced the noise brake pads can cause by having some extra gap before and this is not it. This can be felt throughout the car. The axle I bought was Duralast from AutoZone. It didn't make any difference when I installed it, the noise was still there, so I put the old one back. I...

    EM1 Civic Si Front End clunk

    I'm not having any of the usual symptoms of a bad rack and pinion, but I think I'll definitely check it out today and make sure none of the bolts or steering rack brackets are loose. Might also have to check inner tie rod ends while at it. But as far as the steering goes it feels pretty...

    Why would you think caliper (not being smartass, seriously asking)?

    EM1 Civic Si Front End clunk

    It's not a continuous noise like for example when the CV axle goes bad and makes that clicking noise. If I'm pulling out of a parking spot, it will pop once and that's it until I come to a complete stop and then move again (usually). Rotors are new, there's no vibration when braking. Wheel...

    EM1 Civic Si Front End clunk

    Hello everyone, I have a 2000 Civic Si with 183k miles that has sort of a pop or clunk noise coming from front end (right side). So far I've noticed it when backing out of a parking spot, turning the wheel all the way to the left, hard braking, and even from stop-and-go sometimes. I have...
