The aftermath

Well as it would happen, today I took the car out in the rain to let it get pelted by the natural rainfall. As it sits there getting soaked, i prepare in my raincoat with my cleaning supplies to give it a wash down after a hard run. After the car is cleaned on the outside, I bring it in to the garage to give the interior a nice wash and finally the engine bay.

As I am cleaning the guts of the engine bay, I look down only to find every tuners nightmare. A drip of oil seeping from in between the head and the block. [img]http://www.makingapril.com/greg/Oil1.jpg[/img][img]http://www.makingapril.com/greg/oil2.jpg[/img]

Anyway, after a day of hell and getting on the honda boards I found out that its the gasket in my vtec solenoid. So after a hard day of work I will pick up some gaskets from the dealer to fix the problem.

Secondly, I have started to get synchro grind in my transmission. I completly relate this back to the crap fluid used by the shop that did my swap. So I will also be stopping to pic up the friction modified Syncromesh fluid at the GM dealer (the only american car part ill ever buy...sorry kyle) for a quick fluid change

Finally, my brakes are getting worn and it is time for an upgrade. But the bigger rotors and calipers will have to wait until after the winter, as they are a precious part affected by the cold. Stay tuned!
