This mistake nearly DESTROYED my 89 Prelude's engine!

My prelude seems to have broken in two unrelated ways, however thanks to my fans breaking, I was alerted to a MUCH more serious problem that could have led to catastrophic engine failure. The worst part? This was all my fault. All of it. It all started when I dared to call my cars "reliable"...

Cool video. Thanks for sharing. The prelude was my favorite Honda until they changed the body type and did away with the pop up lights. Sad time in history.

I love the 4th gen but I do miss pop up headlights. It’s a real bummer they were outlawed

Glad you caught this before it was too late. Just discovered your channel a few days ago and have been loving it! Cheers!

Prelude: reliable (enough) to come to San Diego and Escondido Cars and Coffee!!!!!

[@DirtSweatGears]

I hope so. Waiting on a power steering pump seal

I like you vids and your preludes! I have a 91 si alb prelude that is sadly an auto. I have been looking at wheel and tire combos for a while since my plan is to buy Ksports this summer. My front coil springs are very rusty and I know at least one of them is cracked. And the sturts are all original. So if would be nice to refresh the suspension and be able to lower the car. I looked at one of your older vids and saw those are rota circuit 8s. What are the specs on them? I am planing on going with 15x6.5. And what size tires do you have? I was think of running 205/50/15 but 205/55/15 might fill the wheel well better and make the ride a litle better. I have been also looking at the konig heliums and they are cheaper but those rota circuit 8 look amazing on your car! Thanks Sam

Thank you! My tires are 205/50/15 Bridgestone potenza RE-71r. I highly recommend these tires, the grip is insane and they’re even well behaved in the rain.

@@DirtSweatGears Nice! I just ordered some Konig Heliums and some Hankook tires since they are used for daily driving. Can't wait!
