I wouldn't drive it like that at all... I dun see why you would

 

i dont think you can buy just the cam cap, its made for each specific head as they wear differently in each engine.

i wish you luck....

 

Just as important as torque spec is the correct torque sequence as well. Helps to prevent things like that from happening.

Download the 98 Acura Integra service manual here if don't already have it.

Good luck.

 

Wow man great site! I wish I would have known about this earlier.

 

lol man how much did you torque that **** down to..?

I will take that engine off your hands if you want for cheap..?

 

This is a good example of what happens when people dont think or even concentrate for that matter..I wish you luck and don't drive it like that...time to hunt for a new head on tcc

BTW what kind of cams did you install anyway?

 

You cracked the #4 - there's no problem driving it the way it is, since you can't buy just the cam caps, you'll be fine driving it as is.

How did you manage to crack the cap?

 

All that money and effort, and your not going to take it down the track? Are you not interested to see what it can do. Seems like alot of money to spend for a short term project.



In regards to the cam cap. You will be completely fine. If it was cracked on the lobe. then its a boat ankor. Get it welded up while its still on the car. You only cracked the girdle portion of it where there is no pressure on. So you should be more then fine with just brazing it.

 

 

hehe u lucky dog!! i need some cams

 

Sorry to hear about your physical condition, hope you get well. I couldn't imagine what illness could affect such a young guy like yourself. But hopefully you over come it and get back in the drivers seat.

 

rieki - you still didn't say exactly how you cracked that cap????


Chigga1 - i got a set of Toda-B's, Toda valve springs, and crower Ti retainers if you're interested - PM me!

 

i used to be b16civic

ya i have Multiple sclerosis, a degenerative nerve disease. i dont walk very well all of a sudden or move for that matter. i have had it for 13 years and have done very well but i guess my luck has run out.

 

no **** steve.... I had no idea. sorry to hear man! don't let it get you down. i still love ya

 

well im teaming up with someone to start a business. it will be cylinder head work only and for considerably cheaper than other shops. i have B heads already ported in stock and turn around time will be 2-3 days. my hands may not work but my knowledge is still here and the guy i am teaming with is REAL good. watch for ads on the board.

 

you need to go worldwide with this, don't just stay in canada, ship parts everywhere, incl US and Europe. ... like Jesse James parts for choppers fetch some serious coin in Asia and Europe.
