just got a new head gasket! - Honda Prelude Forum

Marfiahitman · 06-30-2009, 08:56 PM

hey, well i just got a new head gasket on my prelude along with getting my cylinder heads flattened or whatever and whole lot of other stuff, the end cost was $960 for everything, i had my friend work on my car and did a great job, he even made the acceleration faster by doing a few tweaks, i cant name some stuff he did, but i noticed.

but know i need to get new spark plugs, distributor cap, and new wires...
what kind of NGK plugs should i get?
and what other stuff like wires and so on?????
and could some one give me a good link to do all this on my own?
thanks

o yeah, BTW i have a 92 prelude 2.3lt 4WS with 120,000 miles

importrp.com

reasonable prices, great service, fast shipping - only bad part is, they are in WA.

I may be coming to Charleston Friday...

too bad nopi doesn't do crap anymore, they used to have a warehouse in GA, so it was overnight shipping for ground price!

and you mean charleston, SC right?
if so, awesome! what for?

ps. and yeah.. could somestill give me a good link to tune up my car with?

Import Replacement Parts

Mike95Lude on this site works there, their prices are pretty good. There is a thread or two about his stuff in the group buy section of the forum

I used to use nopionline.com but I don't know if they are even in business anymore...their warehouse was in southern GA, so it was next day shipping to Birmingham, AL

I'm going to Charleston to pick up another Honda. I'm going to drive halfway tonight, then the rest of the way tomorrow and then drive back to AL on Friday too. I should be there around lunchtime.

I'm so jealous! Can't wait until mine is done. We're still stuck on a damned stripped head bolt. Someone is supposed to come over today to work on getting it out.
Anyone know where to get a new set of head bolts besides the dealer? They want over $80. AAAhHHHH!!!

jsmooney · 07-02-2009, 02:57 PM

just bite the bullet and buy them from honda.
