pulling engine. - Honda Prelude Forum

Lucke · 08-15-2003, 09:20 AM

i've never pulled my engine before, so i'm not real clear on how to do it. I do have use of a helms, but i haven't had much time to look through all of it.

well my main question is is there a write up/pictures that can help me (besides the helms and h22 swap faq)?

or does anyone in the socal area want to help and learn?

The helms has pics, and tells you every single step. Just follow that and all will be well.

when do you want to do it? Maby we can make a day out of it. Get slick to come down, and we can do his suspension and then pull you engine. As long as we have all the tools it wont tke long.

Seriously, the hardest part is the damn Axels. haha

my buddy and i were planning on doing it tomorrow. cause i need my car back asap.

if it looks too complicated then i might just drop the exhaust and take the head off.

if you are serious, let me know.

yea the helms explains it very well. I was really suprised when i turned to the engine section and the first part is engine removal/installation. very detailed and shows all the pictures.

One piece of advice, do your watere pump now also, it will be worth it.

[SUB[EX] · 08-16-2003, 01:42 PM

Ha, yea, make sure you get the right water pump, the first time.(SLP)

Man Lucke my hands are dirty as hell now.

Lucke · 08-16-2003, 01:53 PM

didn't you take some of those towels for the drive home

those things worked so freakin well too.

when i get home from work tonight i get to pull the head off and check for damage... how fun

[SUB[EX] · 08-16-2003, 03:15 PM

nope, didnt take any of those towels with me.

slp mode · 08-16-2003, 04:39 PM

man scot did you drive your ass all the way out here, and didn't even call to say what's up.

I know you were just scared that I might want to run right?

[SUB[EX] · 08-16-2003, 07:22 PM

ha, when i got down there he mentioned that he borrowed the Helms from you. So i asked if you were coming, and he said you were not answering. It was kind of a spur of the moment thing. He messaged me, and i said, well i have time tonight. I left at like 3:30 and got there at like 6:30. Nice long drive. Only took me like 45 mins to get home tho.

And man, you dont want any of this. haha You are gona lose in a few days.
