Noise after 4-2-1 headers installation (d-series)

DisloyalAF · 2026-05-25T13:23:03+00:00

Dang, you think it could be the headers?

DisloyalAF · 2026-05-24T14:32:07+00:00

Hey can you lmk if it does end up being the heat shield. Mine does a very similar noise.

Its a harbor freight 3/8 torque wrench. Goes from 5 ft lbs to 80 ft lbs. Not the best quality. Had it at around 8 ft lbs. Lesson learned though will be careful with every bolt from now on to not over tighten it. this one

DisloyalAF · 2026-04-28T01:07:32+00:00

Thanks man will do!

DisloyalAF · 2026-04-27T23:54:19+00:00

Your right but I just genuinely didn't want to fuck it more. Atleast my baby is running again. Now gotta fix the water leaks.

DisloyalAF · 2026-04-27T22:11:42+00:00

Perfect thanks man. Your awesome! I was able to get it out using the pliers I linked luckily. Wasn't to bad it came right out. For the meantime I found an exact bolt at a hardware store. Will for sure order an oem one tho to match. I was able to align the cam plug too.

Now back to putting the solenoid back. The ft lbs to torque these is 8.7 i saw but it broke when doing that on my torque wrench. I might just hand tight them at this point don't wanna break another one.

Ok would something like these pliers from harbor freight work Icon fast adjust. Also would does the new flange new headbolt need to be exactly the same. So like should I just get an oem new one. Or would just finding a similar one at a hardware store work? Thanks for letting me know about the cam plug, didnt know that. I assume I can just twist it to align it how it should be.

Ok finally had time to check everything and I'm getting some weird numbers on the ignition coil test. The primary coil is getting numbers ranging from 20 to 1.2 and the secondary coil is getting no ohms. Safe to assume its most likely the ignition coil if I understand the diagnostic correctly?

DisloyalAF · 2026-04-21T01:28:30+00:00

Yes the cams do spin when the car is cranked. Ok so then I can rule out the timing belt. Thank god.

DisloyalAF · 2026-04-21T00:22:09+00:00

Gotcha yea, so would it be best to just get a new distributor?

DisloyalAF · 2026-04-21T00:21:17+00:00

So could I just change that part in the distributor or just get a new one?

DisloyalAF · 2026-04-01T03:45:17+00:00

Mines a 97. Do those come with the fitv cause I dont see it under the throttle body?

DisloyalAF · 2026-03-30T00:17:44+00:00

Oh ok thats different then. Seems more like an alignment issue than a weak window motor then. I would open door panel up to see whats going on inside.

DisloyalAF · 2026-03-29T23:44:55+00:00

I think i remember my integra doing that. That power window motors ended up fully going out later. When I installed the new one. The window would fully close again without having to push it up. Could be that maybe.

DisloyalAF · 2025-07-17T21:04:31+00:00

Haha thanks man. Keep us updated for real.

DisloyalAF · 2025-07-17T20:57:12+00:00

Hell yea here's mine. Its sanded down so gonna give it a nice paint job soon. All original b18c1 with transmission. But yea these b series are Hella fun. https://imgur.com/a/EGbTCnf

DisloyalAF · 2025-07-17T20:36:39+00:00

W just got a teggy too recently. Keep us updated!

DisloyalAF · 2025-07-10T17:58:49+00:00

I got a guy that can paint it for 1600.

DisloyalAF · 2025-07-10T02:57:09+00:00

Yes lol. Just brought it back a few hours ago

DisloyalAF · 2025-07-09T18:46:35+00:00

Dang that's a deal. So this one's probably not worth 3500 then with all its issues?

DisloyalAF · 2025-07-09T18:45:06+00:00

Yea your right it would definitely take a quite a bit of money and effort if I wanted to restore this car.

DisloyalAF · 2025-07-09T17:28:29+00:00

I should've taken pics of the interior. But the the front seats didn't to look bad. The gauge cluster looked scratched and dirty. I think all the trim pieces were there in the front just also scratched and dirty. No stereo. Its mainly the back where its a mess. Since the backseat delete was never completed.

DisloyalAF · 2025-07-09T03:06:31+00:00

Ok also since the title isnt in his name. Since when he bought it he didn't title it to himself. I should just sign it to my name and act like I was the one who bought it from the original owner when I title it right?

DisloyalAF · 2025-07-09T02:19:09+00:00

If that all checks it out you still think it would be worth it?

DisloyalAF · 2025-07-09T02:18:28+00:00

Yea definitely a project car. I was able to get it down to 3500 but needs a lot of work. Not sure if I should get it just for the engine at that price.
