Re: HELP PLEASE problems w/ new engine

[Kevin <aventari@cts.com>]

cool, thanks!
I got the t-bearing done today at my dads, not too hard, only took 2 hours. :)
	The reason i didn't put da new one in while the tranny was out was because
it was labor day, and I couldn't get ahold of a new green thing! 	"It'll be
allright" i said. heh, I HAD to say that..
Old pushrod looked good, not bent, the ends weren't mushroomed or galled.
Runs killer now, except when i push the clutch in, the revs still drop. 16v
pp i guess

Dude, i hate working on hondas! it takes a few hours of driving a VW to
cure me after i help my friend with his Integra!
My car is almost perfect now. Just gotta get the wheels balanced, it sucks
not being able to got above 65. Then i'll fix the very minor oil pan leak.
