Its time for a rebuild.....But my CB will live again.

[Straight Success]

So for the ball hone, what size and grit should be used.

Also remember, the stones are different materials for FRM sleeves. That is very important if building a H. The stones are much softer.

Well here is some progress I made today, I never got to the shifter though. I got too excited and forgot to take pics before I started cleaning the head, but these are after just a mild cleaning.









I plan one at least one more cleaning, if not 2 to get it done all the way. I'm getting a valve spring compressor tomorrow so I can fully inspect the valves. And tomorrow is when I begin the tear down, a little worried honestly, hope it goes off without a hitch.

I blackhoused my new lights today, here are the pics:

After:



















More pics and updates to follow tomorrow.

Sorry, I have been busy and I had to postpone my rebuild until tomorrow. I'm doing the brakes tonight, and installing the blackhoused lights. I installed my BB4 shifter earlier:

Here's the stock CB7 shifter still in:



And the new BB4 shifter installed:




And on a side note, I'd like to punch whoever said this was a simple bolt on. I mean it IS easy, but I got 3 bolts in and the last hole was a bit off. After awhile of working at it I was finally able to get all the bolts in and tightened down. Right now I am leak testing the head, waiting for the results on that. Tonight I will be installing CD7 wagon/VTEC 'Lude calipers, 25T brackets, and CD7 wagon rotors. And tomorrow she gets opened up, I'll do my best to take as many pics as possible.

To which ever Mod that moved this thread, thanks, I put it in " off topic " because I figured it didn't exactly fit into this area, but I'm glad it's here.

I have had a slight rod knock for the last 8 months

I hate to say I told you so but I told you so.

I hate to say I told you so but I told you so.

It's still up in the air if its a knock or piston chatter....this had nothing to do with me deleting my balance shaft belt!

[thepowderblue]

ok, go on thinking that and mess up your new rebuild.

I have started work on tearing down the CB, I have drained all the fluids, removed the header, and the brace the runs next to the header. I plan to at least get the head off tonight. I also got a little excited and got drenched by the block coolant plug....fucker!

So awhile ago, when i replaced the oil pressure sensor, I decided to clean the block because I saw this:



After I got done this is what it looked like:



My degreaser of choice for said job?



Available at your local Dollar Store for the amazingly low price of......wait for it.......$1. Yup, a dollar. Works great and cheap as fuck. Well off for more work, pics and more updates to follow.

So I decided to stop for the night, getting a bit late. Here's a some of my progress:









Tomorrow I'll open her up and do my best to get it to the shop before they close. I need to finish cleaning the head, install my new brakes, and my headlights. But most likely I'll do that after the block is at the shop.

Good luck on it, hopefully u can get it to the shop!!
