Been MIA for a while...

Been off the site and out of the accord for a good month now. Reason being that my car completely crapped out on me (On my way back from Houston Import Faceoff ironicly) therefore i've been putting all my time into getting it drivable again. Turns out I somehow snapped/cracked my camshaft which warpped my head. Anyways, to prevent from rambling on, long story short, found a new head, got it machined, cleaned the engine and bay up a bit, good as new.

Nice, thorough check confirmed no other issues for you, I hope?

How does a camshaft break? And you just had to replace it and the head?

Regardless, glad you got that straightened out. Must feel good for it to be running well again.

Yeah, we changed all kinds of stuff. I was gonna do a write-up in the DIY section, but we didn't actually FIX anything. It would've just turned into a "How to disassemble and re-assemble your engine" type thing.

Thats what I said! I have no idea how it happened and i've never heard of it before. Should've taken a picture cuz it was seriously in 2 pieces after we took it out. We got a new camshaft from the dealer, and found a new head with around 85k on it and had it machined. While it was being machined we cleaned up the bottom end and replaced a few things there too.

And yeah its so nice to have my car back. I was driving around my junky CB7 with no heater in the cold all month.

No don't get me wrong, I love CB7's, mine is just in really poor condition. Can't complain though I got it for free.
