All your nice detailed pictures always remind me that I should do that with my build, but I always forget my camera :(

Also, on that teg, is that an RSR ExMag exhaust?

Take your damn camera!!!! =)

on the teg, its knockoff/replica city. The exhaust is a Yonaka catback. Almost as quiet as my WS2 but less pretty and fitment is a lil bit off from where it should be.

The RSR exmag is much smaller in overall size. The yonaka has a huge exhaust tip and canister. The RSR is more similar to the WS2 or Greddy SP in size

OEM honda parts arrived for a lil upgrade to the motor

OEM tensioner stopper pin


Valve cover gaskets




50* VTC cam gear






install process:






marked the timing chain


23mm wrench fit the '06 k24a2 cams perfectly ( i wasn't up to risking an adjustable wrench as the service manual suggests)




torque wrench in place




I did this alone so I couldn't get a shot of pulling the RBB cam gear out and making the switch. Went pretty flawlessly though. These last two shots were after I rotated the crankshaft pulley two full rotations to double check proper timing. Everything checks out :thumbs up





Hopefully i can pick up my valve cover today before i get into work

basically...about twice as long and not pointed. 1 dollar for the "tool" was cheaper than grabbing a case of thumb tacks for a $1.50 =)

thanks for taking three time to check out my thread. I know its a bit slow but i'm trying to do things once without regrets. With my ep3 I didn't really remove anything so I won't be much help there. Just did a bunch of bolt ons and kept it simple
