Mikey's 2001 Sedan EX

[Mikey]

I recently replaced the valve cover gaskets on my front and rear banks. I just reused the IM and TB gaskets, but they looksd pretty good so I guess it just depends. I was using ericthecarguy's video as DIY guide, and he said he always reuses them so that played a role too haha.

New brakes look good. Always made me chuckle how small the rear rotors are on these cars.

I just don’t understand how it’ll trip a CEL, I’ll clear it and it comes back randomly. Could be 5 miles later, could be 50 miles later. I’ll try the seafoam thing first. I think I heard something about the IM gasket, at least from the factory, is metal? Or it’s always metal? Probably why you can reuse it.

Upon further research…

08 TL-S fronts = 12.2 x 1
08 TL-S rears = 11.1 x 0.35
s2000 fronts = 11.8x1
s2000 rears = 11.1x0.5
Accord fronts = 11.1x0.9
Accord rears = 10.2x0.4

Seeing as I how I have new rotors it’s kind of a moot point now tho.

Also looking at my rotors.. I pointed them forward and even though the internal veins aren’t directional, I have a feeling they’re not working to their full potential. I also feel like the slots are holding brake dust and slinging it all over my wheels.
