Near-1-year bump :zing:
Got it nice & high, drained the coolant & oil

Wheels are now removed to swap the fronts around and put on the new rears.
Then it'll be time for its first alignment ever, that I know of anyway.

Annnd it's about that time.
Currently the valve cover is off and that's about as far into my head removal as I have gotten so far.
It's August, I live in Miami, and my garage does not have air conditioning.
So it's kinda like do a little work, go back inside and try not to die.
Hell, last night when I raised it and drained the 2 fluids, it was 3am and still 82° outside. :fuu:

So anyway, got tired of dealing with this coolant issue, and as my compression test kind of hinted at, I have a leak in the head gasket around cylinder 3. So I'll eventually take the head off and fix all that. Taking the opportunity to try and fix other odds & ends while I have it up and making an order list for Honda.
So far:
- Clutch master cylinder
- Clutch slave cylinder
- Windshield washer bottle cap
- Left outer door molding
- Left inner door molding
- Fuel filler cap (hoping it's not the pipe throwing CEL)
- Upper water hose
- Coolant overflow tank cap
- Shift lever insulating foam
- Shift lever spring
- Spark plugs
- Cylinder head gasket kit
- Cylinder block gasket kit ($30, figure why not)
- Billman TCT
Still looking into some other odds & ends before I put the order in and also going to inspect everything in the head just in case I need something.
