Desperately need favor!!! - Honda Prelude Forum

Difinity · 03-05-2007, 11:49 AM

I need someone to help me do a motor swap this and next week. I have access to a junker in Houston that has a perfectly good H22a1. I will have the other car delivered to my place this week if I can get someone to commit to help me swap it. This is desperate because I just found out that the H23 head I removed from my car is cracked. I don't want to buy a new head, I just want to swap the motors out. I also need to change out the steering racks, but that's not a desperate issue, I just need the car running soon.

Can anyone help me? I really need this and I'll definetly owe someone for this.

I'd come out and help, but I fvcked my car up last night by downshifting to hte wrong gear

I can help you with this, but have never done a swap before. If you just need me to help you out, count me in. I can't be to sure that I can help out this weekend though.

I am willing to help out, but I am in no way an expert or anything. I can give you a hand and thats about it. As far as knowledge or know how, I am not the right person.

damn brian,

that sucks

Difinity · 03-05-2007, 01:56 PM

Ya. I'm pretty much looking for someone with knowledge and tools. It's a case that I have alot of tools, but not as much as I need. I also don't have an engine puller.

Where do you live? I *MAY* have a cherry picker you could borrow.

Sorry, I have a debate tournament all day sat and work on sunday. Good luck though.

Difinity · 03-05-2007, 03:36 PM

I'll be out of town this weekend so it'd have to be during the week.

...I just dropped my car off at the shop and they said they may beable to have it fixed by the end of hte week which just means it'll be done next week

Damn, this is the first time I've ever taken my car to a shop and paid someone to work on my car

I just really didn't feel like working on my car this time

Damn I wish I had some knowledge to share...I'd be more than willing to give you a hand, but oil changes and brake jobs are the extent of my expertise. :/

i've done the complete swap

but i'm out of town till sunday. if you have questions i might be able to answer them online.

Prelude1897 · 03-06-2007, 05:16 PM

So what's going on with your SH Prelude?

Difinity · 03-06-2007, 05:26 PM

I'm buying the salvage back and parting it out. As soon as I get the car in my garage, I'll start taking pix and pulling **** off for sale. The real issue is I need to get this 92 out of my garage before that happens.

PreludeDude01 · 03-06-2007, 05:59 PM

Any chance that the SH sides and rear are good? I'm even willing to give you a deposit for them. I'm assuming its PPW.
