just so you know...
We got a phone call today about someone installing a plenum spacer...
Customer:
"You guys shipped cheap bolts, they wouldnt even meet the torque spec"
Us:
"Sir, its 17in-lbs not Foot Pounds..."
Customer:
"Oh, how do I get them out..."

. Turns out that the cams had been removed several times before so the bolts had been torque down like 4 times before. So after a trip to the honda dealer for all new bolts @ nearly $1 each i finished it for him

Well tonight I finished installing all 4 cams, timed the cam gears, put on the timing chain,the chain tensioners and chipped away all the old RTV. Car will run for the first time tommorrow with my new setup.
I ll let you know if it was all worth it. If it doesnt snow on Sunday I will also get a dyno.

Well I went to home depot with this diagram from Jim Wolf.. got everything to 15.76 with tax
http://www.jimwolftechnology.com/wol...BILITY_FIX.PDF
Put that bad boy in and idle is much better..
What you do is T the vacuum line going to the throttle body ..
Go from that T to the other T...
Now splice the line that going from the rear left valve cover that goes to the bottom of the intake pipe.
Take me 10 minutes.
Any questions PM me
