Hello from Costa Rica, new CB7 owner.

You may have gotten lucky and not bent any valves.

If you bent valves, it rarely does damage to the bottom end of the engine. Pull the head, replace any bent valves and the valve seals while you're at it, put it all back together.

Well we changed all belts. Found that the balance shaft was removed (previous owner). No valves where bent. Changed belts, seals and tensioner.

Sorry for the repost, seals where shot

Also the engine mount was destroyed completely.

If you can find one, they have become scarce in the last year or two.

True, here in Costa Rica i'm only seeing K engines.

Tomorrow getting a new battery, it died on me today, Im guessing it was very old plus, all the attempts to start the car and everything. I put in a different one from a friend to test the alternador and it was all good .

Glad to hear you didn’t bend any valves. Batteries now a days only last 3-5 years I have found.

Unless you live in extreme hot climates then it's like 2-2.5 years. Mine just died this past weekend with a bad cell. Got it March 27, 2019 failed on Sept 12th so not quite 2.5 years. Even garaged and on a battery tender this continuous baking kills everything...

Well after some days. We deeply cleaned all seats and carpets. They where just too disgusting.

There’s one issue I have to tackle. S mode won’t turn off. And under hard acceleration it will not go into second gear. any ideas? A/T Selenoid?
