Much love took me me a long time but finally got me a wagon Saturday..all cuz of you bro 👍🤙 here in Indiana they aren't easy to find clean..and im on a budget..so I got one cheep and oarderd rockers and quarters out of Oregon..cost me 800 bucks shipping killed me but im saveing a ef wagon homie..and your a huge inspiration

[@KebongaPvP]

Yessirrr. what's your ig. would love to see the process 🔥🔥🔥

[@LoadedPants]

Get a civic or integra wtf bro 🤣🤣🤣

[@krzyryry8382]

I’m in indiana too it is hard to find any clean any thing. I found an ef back in 02 and it’s been my baby ever since. Crossed for awhile. But now just getting it back out and running. Got a built B waiting for it and a k sitting there too. Not sure what’s next but love ef wagons! Maybe I’ll catch you out and about sometime!

[@JaredKaragen]

An interesting fact and some tips for everyone: Teflon doesn't do the sealing, it's job is actually be a lubricant so the threads can go in completely and seal properly tight up against the taper. For inexpensive complete engine rebuild kits, If I don't use OEM, I use JIS or Evergreen kits. They come with rings, bearings and everything. The evergreen kit even came with VTEC solenoid gaskets to rebuild it. They used to be VERY complete kits.... and haven't failed me yet. For the LS-VTEC plug; fill the gaps on the tap with grease. it will catch all of the chips in the grease while tapping the hole ;) A good trick for doing valves: Find a set of "go/nogo" feeler gauges. They have a second size built in to the single feeler that you can feel the ramp of and know how close they are. For doing cylinder one, set Cylinder #1 at TDC, and you can adjust the valves on both intake and exhaust. Leave the motor at TDC, and adjust only the #2 intake, and #3 Exhaust valves (they are in the correct position). Now notice how you just adjusted half the valves, So now you turn the engine so that #4 is at TDC (two turns). Adjust intake and exhaust on #4, and only intake on #3, and Exhaust on #2. Now all the valves are done without putting the engine at TDC each time. Hondata be pissing off a lot of people now; Can't tune your ecu/connect without an internet connection... so just a big heads up on that recent change of theirs. I still have lots of gripes with them because they stole our rom code, and sued us all because we were competitors. Only think i'd recommend is kpro; just because they have that part of the market pretty much cornered.... but HTS is on with all the canbus stuff (08+ for the most part); more rom definitions every day, and even a few custom changes as well. Keep up the good work dude. -JK

[@ibm_businessman6033]

Golden information, Thank's a ton m8

[@czar-kenduran5592]

Thank you for this bro! Idk if my reading comprehension is just bad but instead of teflon what do you use for the oil feeder plug on the sandwich plate area

[@SyriousMedia]

I have been using your videos (These ones recently as well as older ones) as a walkthrough for rebuilding/swapping my GSR motor into my EK hatch. My first swap/rebuild ever. Thank you for the level of detail you put in when describing every step. It has made the whole process so much easier! 🔥

[@freddygutierrez3531]

Howd the swap go? Just got rebuilt title 99 ek. My brother has 00 B16a2 that hes rebuilding an plans to put it in the ek!

[@realitycheck3672]

Bruh, you’ve inspired me to work on my 91 EF I’ve owned since 1996. It’s in immaculate condition except for the clear coat peeling which I’m having repainted this summer. And I’m dropping in a D16Z6 V-Tec head. Cheers! 🇨🇦

[@swanky9725]

Ill trade u a fbo tune fg2 on enkie nt03 with continental extreme contact sport dws.

[@swanky9725]

Im being serious btw

[@remi009340]

Good I'm not alone haha! I've had a 1990 EF hatch shell with 140,000kms sitting in my driveway for 8 years now! Cheers from just outside of Montreal!🇨🇦

[@gtbmw135i]

Best Honda how to videos out there. Thanks for level of detail and explanation. I’m using your video for my 1st Honda build. Thank you 🙏

[@michaelpinto2155]

The notch in the water pump housing is an indicator for when your water pump is failing. What happens is when it starts going bad, a slow drizzle or drip will follow the path in the housing and a very slow drop comes out of that notch. Dont full it with rtv. Its supposed to be there. I think it says that in the manuals. But yeah, it has a purpose. Like all your vids tho. Great work bro.

[@daveg7501]

Am I the only one that flinched when he was tightening the tensioner and engine went sideways lol

[@Honderrez209]

I did as well lol..

[@brandoncrider3697]

🤣 I def flinched lol

[@nigganamejason1865]

Lmfao yo that got me too

[@daveg7501]

🤣🤣

[@petertorres2117]

LOL me to!

[@YeahAlright1]

Another banger from Mr Static himself!!

[@JasonDeals84]

What’s up pumak! I’m originally from San Diego ca but now I’m in Alamogordo, nm. Civics are hard to come by and it’s been a dream to put together a civic and drive around. In a way im jealous but at the same time grateful for your channel and the content you put out. So if I ever get all the pieces, I know exactly where to go to figure all out. Thank you!

[@TunerThings]

Perfect timing as always!

[@Datboi_qwe]

No pun intended

[@brayanbridger9267]

A trick : watch movies at flixzone. Been using them for watching a lot of movies recently.

[@enriqueruben4891]

@Brayan Bridger yup, I have been using Flixzone for years myself :)

[@jaydenfrank6925]

@Brayan Bridger Definitely, have been using Flixzone for since november myself =)

[@stevenferrari64]

CD

[@j86alvarez]

Episode should of been called "Ask me how I know" haha luv the vids you a true og

[@davesinger1517]

Yeah static Hog it out. I get those three layer head gaskets and separate each layer so that I have three individual layers and then I throw away the center lane because it's worthles. There is a hole and each Pam that you can stick a like a little 8 inch rod down to the hole in it locks the cams and top dead center position so that they don't move so that when you put the timing belt on and use your screwdriver against your tensioner Not a lot of people know that those holes are there to hold the cams and top dead center position

[@cozmolives]

You asked why no views on Joaquin videos. Because we come to watch you and yours!!! Good stuff keep it up

[@ady-bdavid1173]

This is an old video I know. But when you mentioned the water pump causing bubbles, it's called cavitation. 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

[@krzyryry8382]

Just want to go on record and say get a Honda oil pan gasket. Unless felpro changed their design and started to integrate the “washers” in them. Honda oil pan gaskets are worth it and while you’re there you can get you some hondabond. You’ll need that too.

[@quinton7854]

lmao dana out here able to build an entire EF with everything he has in his garage....... side note like this vid dana had to save it for when i try my hand at doing an LSV

[@TheJohnnyef9]

I screen capped some of the part numbers he showed. Thanks Dana!! :D

[@Goldrush1988]

Picked up a B16 head that's fresh from the machine shop yesterday for $500. I had to jump on that deal. Going to LSV my B18B1. My CRX is going to hurt some feelings.

[@thumb100ourlife4]

My dude wit all da knowledge u got u should b werkin fo a boss ass shop!! 💯 I member I was pulling my hair out to do all m ls v b20 v!! Poors man itr da whole 9!! Love ur content! Brings me bacc to 90s early 2000s!!

[@crxdrew4974]

Best video I’ve seen in a long time! Such great in depth detail, thanks man.

[@CMX1100_Sam]

I learn so much from your channel. Amazing!

[@jaebae5706]

Do you have any merch dude? I would definitely support !! I watch you all the time

[@MatsuYoda]

I tried to catch the block when you were tightening the timing belt. Time for bed. lol

[@TOLDyouSOagain]

Nice video, lots of correct info. Were your steel braided line from the plumbing section of the hardware store?

[@Fierrow]

Lol I forgot to plug the bottom of the head when I took it to get resurfaced..the dude at les auto machine told me to jus put in a 8mm steel ball n that shit worked

[@franciscocollins6715]

Glad you're back I missed your videos but I have a question about seven other guys on KZbin I didn't build an LS VTEC but I forget what timing belt to use either the ls belt or a GSR belt not sure I want to see if you answer me those other guys didn't

[@charlesfernandez-693]

Yessss sirrrr..... Good morning from South East Asia 🌏 Shout out from Manila 🇵🇭

[@dylanrandolph5685]

Anything that makes a 90 degree angle with the handle consent throw off the torque spec any time you branch out there’s just a formula for changing the effective length

[@PelonDeArizona]

This is a sign. I just picked up a GSR long block with a broken rear bracket mount so I was debating on fixing the crack or just do LS vtec..... this means I’m doing LS Vtec!

[@rstuff1605]

Awesome idea. I was thinkin of it too. Just keep the redline at 7.000 unless you are trying to build the block since it has a longer stroke I imagine setting lift at 4800 to 5000 will be optimal since the longer stroke can benefit from more air

[@jimhiscott2918]

I watched an episode once (not this channel) where a dude said you didn't need to use ls/vtec guide dowels at all. I about shit myself when he said that!!!!!

[@bhonda1895]

Hell yeah brudder!! Can’t wait to see this in!

[@czar-kenduran5592]

I thought this was for b18 block with a b16 head ls vtec build how fome he’s talking about b20? I apologize if im missing anything really new with convertions like this.

[@davesinger1517]

Whenever I build an ls or b20 vtec I use the ls non vtec head gasket you don't have to drill it out.. and if I'm building a high compression set up I'll split the head gasket and only use one layer either top or bottom u essentially 2 head gaskets out of 1... can't use the center layer no teflon on it...

[@JunkyardPerformance]

It's always a good day when your cars can run at the same time

[@6string_gus]

Good thing you just flippin it cus that head was dirtyasf, i was expecting nice aluminum color back from the shop.

[@b20eg195]

So simple setup as it is. I like to know with gsr/b16 head and stock cams since the bottom end piston is stock how high can you safely Rev to without piston to valve hit? Please for others that have rev to the moon leave your comments out of it. I understand with arp rod bolts installed u could safely Rev to 8k+ but I'm looking for longevity and daily not Rev to 8500 all day long it will give. 7500-7800 with arp rod bolt is the most ill go since it won't make power pass that

[@markwarren7959]

Was looking for a good torque wrench that wouldn't break the bank and got me one of those there Tektons like ole' Youngstatic. Thing works awesome so far. 🤣

[@oscarreynoso6914]

Perfect timing I'm about to do a b20v

[@adamramirez7626]

Truly impressed bro. Much love!

[@banky9885]

Progress bro progress 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

[@ricefarmer1point6]

I’ve always swore by copper spray

[@cbdreamer1709]

Awesome. Thanks for the content!

[@CesarsCarCorner]

33:24 I was wondering what you had wrap cause it was so still, then Joaquin turns around, lmao!

[@riyaadryklief4220]

@29:17 dont think we never saw that additional oil line going to the front of the motor for the turbo 😂

[@rogerkendrick1685]

Nice video Bro. Keep up the good work. You're my man

[@romxtube]

I reversed a vtec head that was on a b18 ls block, whats happens if i forget to remove the plug AND put It on a b16a2 block? Will It choke the oil feed?

[@jerrylipscomb7551]

I have a few questions What head would I use for a B20B i would like to do a vetc conversion an would i have to Change the wiring harness an ECU too.

[@illmatix.7745]

Hopefully gonna get a b20z2 block tomorrow

[@JakeDeSilva1]

Nice man I'm trying to LSV my DA9 soon so this is super helpful!!!

[@kaybevang536]

Use the motor you already have which is the B18A and turbo that baby because the LSv can actually take the endurance

[@miguelrambaran733]

hi do u have to change d oil pump to a b16a or d b20b oil pump will work

[@zeus.1006]

So I have an integra with a B18b1 block with a gsr head but when I start on a cold start the car dies on me automatically and I have to hit the throttle to keep it from dying on me and also when its idling the whole car shakes like crazy and feels like the car struggling to keep it's self idling what could be the main problem also the exhaust cam belt side is a little lose and also the car has a chipped p72 ecu what can i do to make the car run fantastic and idle normal..

[@stevenjuarbe8848]

Always watching your vid from nyc bro I’m getting my parts together to go Ls V I been all motor Ls on my 4 door ek for a while how’s the motor when it’s done is it any difference would I feel the difference before the tune and after ?

[@MMBuilt]

How you switch the fuel rail to a -6?

[@jaysong4825]

Buddy what do u prefer for the head stud for a b18b1 block and the b16a head? 😊

[@AdinSLaboy]

I recently doing the same think but using nippon 81mm and Scott's for boost but I'm worried about the head gasket I'm using that felpro one and Also the deck high look low on the set up what can be ? I know this its a old Video but any help would make me go better 😅

[@pawnstahrcc]

Where u get that blippie blanket???

[@zacharyramsey7972]

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 you the best brother

[@nate708]

[@jacobadair4354]

Darn I wish I could figure out how this guy knows all this Honda knowledge

[@Lyrico51]

Enjoy your content my dude, would you use the stock rods and piston if you're not going to be beating on the motor or would you swap em?

[@jhonespinosa8487]

Was this a stock block?

[@caliboyz8314]

Good afternoon bro..

[@HiboostInk]

Ima be going lsv soon on my ek 😁 boosted u should build a AWD ek hatch static and flip it bro make some good money 🤷🏽‍♂️😉

[@That1CanadianGuy]

With the dowel pins, are they not supposed to go on first, then the head bolt?

[@EDZEN94]

I was thinking the exact same thing.. odd..

[@gb361TX]

So your saying your nail!💅 is basically a tool!?

[@natenasty6292]

I have a 1992 honda accord, what intake manifold fits h22a6?

Awesome video.

[@s.m.gg.m.s425]

Yo what is ur outtro beat?

[@MegaWeeds420]

I think there's 2 brass rivets on the intake side you have to drill out of the head gasket. last one I assembled there was 2 I had to remove cant remember which ones.

[@CP_FPV]

15:24 lmao 😂

[@sideshow45]
