The valve can be “finicky” if older and even if new, corrosion from heater box may flake off and create a clogged “artery” in the valve when the vacuum actuates it. IMO, if it was working one day and then stopped w/o a clutch noise sound pitched higher (as struggling and not over amped - (blown...

Pete… good thing its a 3 day weekend (for most) to absorb all the incoming info we’ve bombed you with!! Its going to be the perfect weekend here in SE WI (since I can recall) and many smiles per gallon are planned here. 🇺🇸

IMO, go to HD (or wherever) and get a $60 Milw (a little biased here) temp gun and it will be your buddy on quick info diagnosis. Hit every exhaust port accurately as the plug info you gave us is vague. The exhaust is your last worry unless u have an annoyed neighbor 😂 (x2 inside thread joke)...

I like the turn downs! (of course) 👌🏻

I don’t know your climate but of course you can if you don’t ever plan on using your defroster function or heat on your toes, etc.. the heater box will dry rot on you if it doesn’t stay hydrated.

Pete, don’t assume the core is shot! Verify first. Dry rotted hoses only show its not been well maintained. IMO… first step is what your doing. Hit list on what you see… then get bumper to bumper analysis when you find a local hotrod shop that sounds trustworthy when you look them in the eye...

This may help you. I have the AC fittings capped off, and I painted the vapor canister Royal Blue from “Infantry” Blue but I’m kinda of wishing I didn’t as I miss those days more and more as this world turns… I would advise to take out the shock tower brace(s) / (5mins) when doing your hoses...

Or maybe go tighten up their garage doors loose nutz? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Is there anything your neighbors do that annoy you so perhaps you could barter with them? Maybe take them for a ride or better yet let Ken or Karen drive it around the block would be my approach. If you aren’t breaking any laws the absolute last thing I would do is appease them because… I...

Victory is sweet, but I would recommend you get a set of thread chasers, not taps, and take the sensor out asap and clean them up and reinstall before going through too many heat cycles to avoid another PITA in the future. 🤔

I would add that a “little puff” at startup is NBD on a “well rode” horse that still runs and sounds great. That being said, I would also recommend you treat her easier on cold starts and let her get up to temp before whipping her in the butt a few times…

And please put the waterpump belt back on to avoid an even louder sound!

Once you figure out how to get a good bite on it, use a little heat from a mini handheld 🔥 thrower to “wake up” the threads. 👌🏻

IMO, not sure about that as the rpm’s increase, the stock fan blades “spool up” and expand in towards radiator face and their OD is well past the ID of the shroud creating x?cfm of flow through it which I doubt would be affected by any air going into the open ducts on the hood and swirling...

Go Granny Go!

You sir are spot on. This is why “we” love preserving history and enjoy every mile of it. Some obviously are collecting concourse “perfect” $$, and that’s great but I’m only interested in keeping my gal’s value increasing in whatever the market demands as I drive her as daily as possible to...

You have a few things going on but making sure the diff is breathing through your vent hose is step one and then onto the other items you are trying to eliminate. Put your temp gun in the car on your next run to shoot everything going on.

I wonder if the red Honda now looks like the black Honda!
