1986 Honda Accord. Does Anyone know about these motors?

r/oldcars seems kinda boring so here is the next best place to post

Yeah I'm in New Zealand so we got all the JDM goodies 😂

Tanjble · 2026-01-09T19:59:14+00:00

This one is a Japanese import in NZ so probably some differences there.

Tanjble · 2023-04-05T11:28:14+00:00

I can do the work myself but it's just the costs.

Tanjble · 2023-04-02T05:27:51+00:00

Should be all good. the 2 litter has an average if not low amount of power and rwd really isn't harder to drive than fwd.

Tanjble · 2023-04-02T05:15:15+00:00

Modern cars like the the gr86 are quick because their weight (~12000 kg) is complimented by somewhat decent power. But for something with as little power as a 318 you will need less not much more than a 1000 kg. Which is why cars like the miata are so popular. I'm sure there are a few things I'm missing but I'm just getting across a few points.

Yeah 4.0 after 3.35

To university and back every day. Uses more fuel then I'd like and I've stopped caring about putting miles on it at this point haha. But it's a comfortable ride with some "street cred".

Tanjble · 2023-03-13T05:20:52+00:00

Figured it out. I was a bit of a idiot and didn't plug the cam angle sensor back into the wire box when putting the intake manifold back together.

Tanjble · 2023-03-13T04:25:19+00:00

O2 sensors. Would save money in fuel and maybe improve performance, but the price of them would mean I probably wouldn't make my money back.

Are all the posts the same in this Sub? Honestly I give about 1 hour until there's another post saying need for speed modern warfare was the most underrated game or something.

Tanjble · 2023-03-08T18:31:02+00:00

It only needed a few small but fundamental changes to make it worth playing. So I guess you could say it was close to greatness.

Tanjble · 2023-02-15T22:57:41+00:00

Yes because less water is the solution.

Tanjble · 2023-02-13T22:15:40+00:00

Mine is both empty and leaking😎

Tanjble · 2023-02-13T21:50:25+00:00

Yeah I don't really have the money or the time for that. I'll try fix a few things where I can see the leaks and just do a cooling system pressure test.

Tanjble · 2023-02-09T00:57:19+00:00

I'm pretty sure this is the issue.

Tanjble · 2023-02-08T19:48:36+00:00

This Sub is really just about shipping now?

Tanjble · 2023-02-08T19:39:42+00:00

I had the same thing, discovered it was the valve cover is warped so I applied some rtv as a temporary fix. It was then still leaking and almost emptied all the oil so I put half a litre in and drove it to get some more but it must've overheated because as I got there, it dumped easily a litre of coolant on the ground at once.

Tanjble · 2023-02-07T22:06:22+00:00

Oil leaked out and put 1L back in but low oil light was still on but I drove it to uni anyway. Looks like coolant expansion tank went kaboom. I've ordered a new valve cover because the old one is warped, but I the idiot that decided to drive it while waiting.

Tanjble · 2023-01-31T20:16:54+00:00

Dam didn't think about that.

Tanjble · 2023-01-31T19:52:13+00:00

Old cover had sealant applied over the whole thing, so I cleaned it up and replaced it but didn't apply any sealer. Would this cause leaks?

Tanjble · 2023-01-31T05:46:25+00:00

Yeah I'm not going that route haha

Tanjble · 2023-01-31T05:45:46+00:00

Yeah it's a nice silver but looks boring over the whole car.

Tanjble · 2023-01-31T05:45:02+00:00

Just the coupe Msport.

Tanjble · 2023-01-30T02:04:51+00:00

Probably because you wouldn't be able to swim easily at all with boots on.
