Thanks man! Not in any trouble yet lol.

Now my speedo decided to not work correctly. The first couple of weeks it was semi-fine. i noticed that it was 8-10 mph off at higher speeds. not a big deal. Well now it started reading completely wrong and jumping around. Grrr!!!

problem I am having though, is it's nice to have a semi quick back up daily if something happens to this lol.

Yeah. But other than using the '98 as a back up, I'm probably never going to drive it again. I'm sure some kid would love to abuse it and blow it up! :)

Probably won't be much updates until I can get kpro, an rbc intake, etc.

When I say it's my daily, I mean it lol. I really can't wait for spring/summer again. This "fresh from the swamp" look is getting old.

First I said I was going to pull the head before dropping it in. I never did and had to do the head gasket AFTER I got it running. That has been documented.

I also said I was going to replace the tensioner. Well, I never did.

Why? I was running out of good weather. I was running out of money. And, I figured at 40k miles, it should be fine.

Well, I started hearing some chain noise. Actually, I've been hearing it for a couple of weeks. Friday it got a little more noticeable and Saturday it got to the point I knew I had to pull the valve cover. And I'm glad I did the next morning:

Could have been catastrophic failure!

I'll have the new OEM chain and tensioner tomorrow. As well as the k20z3 upper chain guide.

Civic Savior: I was unable to do anything with the exhaust due to this. And I probably won't get to it until this weekend. I am trying though lol.
