H23 Engine Build

Well this is going to be a slow process being a full-time dad and working full-time…and with plans to start back to school next year…going to document it in this thread…as of right now I’m tearing it down on the weekends (and I only get like ½ a day at the most on Friday and Saturday and if I get time on Sunday) and this was the first weekend I got to start…so far I’ve seen oil come out on the intake as well as the exhaust and I think that a valve broke in the #3 cylinder

Not sure what car I’m going to put this in if I decide to put it in a car…thought about raffling it off and starting another build :) but I did consider a 4th Gen sedan, ’80 civic, or a Classic Mini If I could ever get my hands on one

Pretty cool that you're documenting all this. I hope you catalog all of your parts. Have you ever put an engine together before?

I was about to categorize the parts but decided against it b/c the internals are all going to get replaced…and I’m going to buy a manual…like either a Haynes or a shop manual that shows where everything goes…that’s the plan anyway

update? anything new?

put on hold...indefinitely

damn, that sucks.. I was hoping to see/read this one through
