    Engine knocking around the 2000 rpm range

    Hi all! I know my thread is kind of old, but I did promise a video, so here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwzIRKkgRvg I still haven't been able to swap out my engine, as there has been a lot of other stuff going on, just finished doing a major kitchen reno, so the time and $ are kind...

    JDM F23 Swap (the fall and rise of my accord)

    Hey Pat, thanks for the reply. Well, it looks like I'll pulling it out from the top then! :) I'll see if I can disconnect the tranny to! But I do have to change the lower front ball joints. $2k is decent, if like you said that the rest of the car is in good shape! I figure I'll be putting in...

    Hi FNCONE, I'm slowly gathering up all the components to having my F23A1 replaced with a F23A (JDM). In your honest opinion, which way do you recommend removing the engine, through the top or the bottom, and what are the good and bad of each option? I have access to a cherry picker with a...

    JDM F23 Swap (the fall and rise of my accord)

    Hi Pat, Glad to hear the engine swap went good. I would not shampoo an engine bay (which of course means the engine too), the degreasing properties of the shampoo get in all the nooks and crannies and may even remove oil/grease in parts of the engine/trans where they are supposed to stay in, I'd...

    Radio

    The Alpine IVE-W530 deck is pretty good too! I like that it has a 3.5mm jack in the front for your Zune or iPod!

    F23 rebuild

    Depending on how much you're willing to put into the re-build, you may want to consider a JDM F23A instead with low miles, might be doing that this summer.

    H23 cylinder wear pattern, help!

    Wowzers! That sucks! Well, I guess either a rebuild or new in engine is in the horizon. Personally, I'd just get a new engine, you really have to hone down those walls to get a smooth and even finish, not to mention now the new pistons will have to be bigger, or you'll get nasty piston slap...

    H23 cylinder wear pattern, help!

    Yikes! Well, if you're this far into having the engine removed and disassembled, you may just want to get a new JDM. It's possible that the rings may have rusted from sitting for so long, that they grooved up the sides from the roughness of the rust. I mean unless there was debris like sand or...

    Humming noise from front wheels...wheel bearing?

    If it is like the sound/feel of a concrete hammer drill (cordless type), then it's definitely the wheel bearings. But because your tires are new, that could also be the culprit. Put some balder tires on the front (weather permitting) and drive around and see if you notice anything. I had an old...

    Peak Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant

    What Igor said! :) You can't beat the Honda coolant! That stuff is designed specifically for Honda's and you may even notice you car running cooler as I did last year when I got my changed.

    '98 Accord EX 4cyl - F23A1 Manual Trans - poor acceleration >3000rpm?

    I think a faulty EGR valve would be only really noticeable while the car is idling. Did you check for slack on the accelerator cable (from the gas pedal)? You mentioned that the top end was re-done, could be the mechanic didn't properly set the cable tension to the throttle. Another thing could...

    Knocking coming from engine bay

    Yeah, I think I may be getting the early signs of rod knock, sure sounds like that, only when hot though, really sucks though, engine looks like new and it only has 120,000kms! As for the solid thud noise you are hearing, if it is some what random, and does not oscillate (like sounding engine...

    Knocking coming from engine bay

    Is it a higher sounding knocking like the ticking of the valves, or a lower end knocking sound? I wonder if it's bottom end, but hopefully it's just an engine mount. If it's a tinny rattle, then its the heat shield for the catalytic converter. If you can go under the car and inspect the motor...

    Subwoofer works but turns off after a while

    Sounds like the amp can't handle the wattage and just cuts out, is it hot? Like Jordan_H said, try out a new amp. :)
