    You guys are so smart when it comes to this stuff. A lot of what y'all are saying is really scaring the crap out of me and got me thinking I need to sell my trucks.

    Also let me run this one by y'all since we are talking about an engine rebuild, a guy told me today that these engines do not rebuild well and that your better off getting another engine instead of rebuilding. Anyone had any experience with this or ever heard of such?

    This guy also told me he had a Honda acty that ran but smoked and would sell for $800. Good deal bad deal?

    These are just like any other engine it's all in the details.If an engine has been overheated to where there is distortion then there is a greater chance of problems with a rebuild just like a rod through the block pretty well rules out that block but these are really tough little units and really pretty forgiving even though some of the systems can be maddening.Every thing depends on the individual situation.
    If the Honda is in otherwise good shape it's a good deal but here again, why is it smoking?

    Looking at the vehicles in the background I'd have to say that some one around there is a little hard on iron.

    Started putting my motor back together and I am sourcing my hardware. I seem to be missing some. Anyone got a picture of a engine with it's valve cover off. I need to see what hardware to use. All The pictures I had taken during disassembly got lost during a hard drive crash. Now I am assemble this thing blind. I has been way to long for me to remember...

    Picked up the two missing fasteners today. Now I need a new thermostat housing. mine appears to be cracked. Looks like I have the long version. Anyone got a engine they are parting out with this housing on it?

    I am finally at the point where I will be put the engine back into the truck. Before I do this I am replace all the fuel hoses, cleaning out the gas tank and replacing the filters. I am also clean out all the coolant lines. I had lots of sludge in the system,

    Hi I have a question. In F6A engine the manual says coolant capacity is around 4.7 Liters but when I drained em (at the drain plug) it only gave me 1 liter? Now im kind of reluctant to put any flush additives s i dont want it to be circulating the whole time through. Because IMO, draining all that 5 liters there means popping the disposable cap in the block's body I dont know that part im sorry.

    My system was complete plug with slug when I went to drain my system. Can't remember what volume I got. There are allot of lines to the radiator and heater core. I bet some of that 4.7 liters is still in those line. Pull the line of the radiator and bet you get more
