Even with locktite?

Before I used loctite. It loosened and then after I tightened it up it went to shit and I had to replace my crank pulley. After that incident I caked it with loctite. I dread when the day come for me to remove it.

I don't think high RPM are the issue, because mine comes off super easy. However, yours also doesn't have any dampening rubber. Never been a fan of the solid pulley.

Yea I've thought about all that a lot, IMO after 8k rpms, nothing on the market is going to dampen the motor. If anything I think the balancers will cause more vibration from them exceeding their threshold, and until I see solid tests on both sides I'm gonna stick with one that I know is balanced and won't add anymore vibration then what's already there.

True, but my whole rotating assembly is balanced to 11k. I can find my papers somewhere. The OEM balancer worked pretty well, even in high RPMS. I had that concern too, but when I had it all balanced they said it didn't have issues.

The problem isn't so much balancing, balancing does cause vibration, but they are trying to offset resonance with the dampers.

I'll look into that stuff :D This is the first time I've had long hair. It's a nice break after 10 years of buzz cuts.

Had some free time to spend on the Integra today. Went through the motor and checked everything out, it all still looks new, bearings are good, compression's good, adjusted the valves, etc. I think it's been a year since I drove it, kinda miss it, but I'm just getting it ready to part out. So anyone want a stroked and sleeved b17 let me know :D





I should clean it better, I got nasty oily fingerprints all over it.




Guess I could've cleaned those cam caps when I was building the motor :lol:


All buttoned up and ready to go

Picked up another cable trans, looked like it was sitting in barrel of oil for the last 22 years.

I know right, it's been over 7 years! But I only drove it to work and back so it doesn't have many miles. I'll lube the hell out of the assembly when I get ready to put it back in, it needs a new VC gasket anyway, no sense now cause I don't know how long it will sit.

I got a good deal on it and they are getting harder to come by. Never know when I'll need another.
