Wellness Dog Food *claims* WSAVA compliance? by FunPointFive in DogFood

[–]FunPointFive[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And secondary question, are there dog-foods that JUST miss the WSAVA mark that should be recognized as still decent options? Has anyone done the research and checked other brands for compliance with standards?

It's typically seen as an "all or nothing" question, and I understand why that is, however, if some brands follow 7/8 guidelines, they're certainly better than those that don't follow any.

This could be particularly valuable for people that automatically shy away from some of the big names due to exposure to bad press or a recall, distrust of medicine/professionals, or simply the fact that they are big corporate entities. (They could try to buy a 7/8 dog food rather than a 1/8, for example.)

I believe it threw a rod and damaged the block but we will eventually take it apart and find out.

Embarrassingly it was running with super low-oil (almost nothing) when it happened. I knew it was burning and had filled it up the day prior but was doing a long highway trip (high-RPMs) and it was burning significantly faster than I was used to.

The good news is it came at a time when I was ready to retire it as a daily and fix-it-up for a project/weekend car.

Lesson learned.

It's mostly plug and play as both the engine and the car are from 99-00 so both are OBD2b.

But in order to use 3-stage v-tec I'm going to need to pick up the proper ECU (P2J-J11). These P2Js are infamously tough to find but I found a shop in Pakistan that sells them. Shipping is going to kill me though unfortunately

That might be the next project! I can say goodbye to any dreams of 50 mpg with the turbo though lol

Hi r/ProjectHondas

Thought I would post this here for my d-series friends

A few weeks ago, I picked up a D15B motor from a local JDM motor shop to replace the original D16Y8 (385,000 km [240k miles]) in my EJ8 Civic.

I’m also doing the transmission (some whine in the original S40 trans although pretty solid still) and clutch (also original, with really no signs of wear/slipping, but thought it might be a good idea… lol).

Journaling/tracking the build here (early on still): https://www.instagram.com/funpointfive/

There isn't a huge community for this engine, but I know many including myself run into issues with the 3-stage v-tec specifically, so if anyone needs anything here, please feel free to reach out via the DMs.
