Exactly, I used 220 grit sandpaper to remove the deep scratches then work to 2000 grit before using some metal polish.

So I spent a little while on this rainy day polishing some wheels. Two down two to go.

Might want to check the main relay as well. They are a known issue in the older Hondas. The solder points have a tendency to lose their connection.

It never ceases to amaze me the number of people I see cruising around in brand new very expensive diesel trucks. I would wager the majority of them don't even need a truck that size. I know of quite a few that are customers of mine that don't even use them for any kind of towing. The upgrade to...

I have the high torque model and absolutely love it. It has zipped several Honda crank bolts and axle nuts right off with no hesitation. Typically those are the worst ones I have to mess around with unless I run across a seized chassis bolt. Easily my best tool purchase of the last couple years.

Pic of the cams and rockers while they were out.

Some pics of my Integra while changing valve stem seals.

I would try to find oe parts if possible. I managed to find Sankei 555 ball joints for both of my Hondas on ebay for a really good price. If you can find the honda part number plug it into ebay or amazon and see what you can find. Honda most likely sells the upper as an assembly already pressed...

Has anyone else noticed a lack of Castrol oil at their local Walmart? The one in my town usually has a full supply of nearly every grade but for the last month (possibly longer) they have not restocked any Castrol oil. There a just a couple jugs of random grades of Edge left.

I've been using the Grip6 belt for the last year or so. I love it, also like the thin buckle.

The new parts are actually the springs. The older hydraulic types had a tendency to stick over time and cause excess valve noise. My car being a 99 likely had updated parts as I had no valve noise but since I had it apart I wanted to put the newest style in. The set of eight was $100. The engine...
