ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

    Help me fix a fixer upper

    This is my first post, so bare with me. so the other day, i helped my friend do an oil change and change the sparks on his 91 accord(i my self have a 92 by the way) and i was horrified at the condition it was in. so we did the oil change and it was horrible. only 2 and a half quarts came out AND when we put the new oil back in, it was brown when we rechecked it. we changed the spark plugs, and they literaly came out with pieces of rubber. we also changed two ripped little coolant hoses, and the pcv valve, and adjusted the iac valve(i think) cause it was surging up and down while idling. i told him we need to change:

    1. air filer
    2. fuel filter
    3. distributor cap and rotor
    4. spark plug cables
    5. flush the radiator
    6. replace tranny oil with dexron 4 syn
    7. flush the motor
    8. replace valve cover gasket(i think)

    as far as the engine department goes, is there anything else you can suggest we do to this monstrosity?

      Valve cover gasket should be the whole kit. Do a valve adjustment while you're in there. If it hasn't been done yet, do the timing belt.
