Done!!!
DEAR TEGGY OWNERS, i have bringed my 1990 Acura integra ls BACK TO LIFE,Finally,after all turmoil,problems and destroyed hands,i finally can announce that i finished it today
now pics of the process,i don't have any cause my sister took the camera with her to an special event,
but pics after i'm done,there they are:
the car starts now,and runs strong,only problem that I'm having now is that the radiator kicked the bucket just after i started the car after the build,now I'm going to have to buy a new one,and one of the old water hoses stayed in the cooling system and exploded,going to replace that tomorrow
also,i replaced the ECTS and i'm still not sure whether the fan works or not,i have a friend that has a brand new fan timer,im going to ask him if i can have it tomorrow,to see if it kicks back into work,if it doesn't then there has to be some wire that is cut off somewhere,but let's not jump to conclusions,cause again,the rad is massively LEAKING besides the water goes inside real slow
until then
New rings:$72
Full head job:$300
complete head gasket kit:$110
mains and rods:$73
1 motor mount (front one):$33
ECTS:$22
trans seal:$12
oil pan gasket:$19
thermostat:$7
hoses(well, 5 feet of hose):$7
tools (including hoist and stand:$680
TOTAL:$1335,
there it is,that was me without tools
now,with all the necessary tools,it could go around $655 bucks to rebuild,that included everything new,and that i didn't had to do anything to the block,otherwise,i would held back completely!!!
so there it is,back to life,and btw,my dad broke the pulley (going to buy a new one),and that would be all
as soon as tomorrow,i'll try to record it,so y'all can see how it sound and drives like!!!
and thank's to y'all,for your help and support,without any of y'all,ill be more lost than ever!!!

Throw on a new fuel filter bro. No sense putting ugly gas through the new engine.
Radiators have a tendency to crack when the head gasket goes. Plastic ones anyways, i'm not sure if the metal ones do? I had to replace my blazers after I put my motor in. Kind of depressing to get it going then have the radiator blow up.
Good job, I like the intake manifold painted. I think i'm going to do that with mine.

Prozon,I was very bored that day,and had nothing to do,then i thought "hey,why don't i paint the intake manifold,after all,boring gray looks dull and ugly"Good job, I like the intake manifold painted. I think i'm going to do that with mine.
fuel filters are $10,i'm definitley buying that too,also,imma try to start using 93 gas,instead of the cheap 87 that i used to put in!!!
rad,this one is metal,but it looks old and dirty on the inside,have to replace it anyways,
and since i have high heat paint,i'm painting the exhaust manifold cover black,that would add a little bit more of cleanliness!!!
also,i lost my last ratchet,that was kind of depressing cause up to this day and hour,i still can't seem to find it
i also lost the crank pulley bolt,but i went to the junk yard and got a replacement for 60 cents!!!

Tam,i think the old owner of the teg ran it like that for year and a half,he supposedly spent $1000 "fixing it",he got tired of it,and gave it to my younger sister as a sort of "gift",or something like that,trust me,i was quite frustrated when i saw that!!!
the ironic thing is that i didn't found no thousand under the hood,just a couple of brand new hoses,and and a rear wheel's pad replacement,also a new alternator,other than that,nothing more!!!
