Yikes, it has been entirely too long since I've posted updates. Admittedly in part that's because I haven't been working on the car as much as I should, but I haven't totally stood still on it.
I finished up the cylinder head and got it bolted back on. Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures of that process. But I think we've all seen a Honda cylinder head before. :)
I sent my fuel injectors off to be cleaned. 273k miles with no cleaning (so far as I know) and the results seem pretty worth it. I'll have to add the before/after results from the sheet in a bit.
I do find the fuel injector cleaning services a bit frightening. I basically toss $500 worth of parts in a box with a letter that says "please clean these" and my credit card number and I hope I get it back. But it's worked every time so far!
And I redid the valve cover paint. I spent a lot of time on prep getting it as clean and ready as I could.
I was pretty happy with how it turned out. The unevenness shows up in the pictures, but hardly at all in person. And I'm guessing once it's in an engine bay it won't be noticeable at all...
Gotta do valve adjustments, but the engine is about back together! Then just some clean up on the transmission and ATTS, and it should be ready to go back in!
