So I finally got it all apart...since this isn't my main daily (YET..) I'm taking my time working on it... Plus the weather is hit or miss between cold and rain/snow...
When I unbolted the water pump, it fell off in TWO pieces... The pump itself, and the propeller... I now see why it was leaking...lol.
Any who...I snapped a few pics...
Old Water Pump...
New Water Pump
All Torn Apart
#1 Cylinder/Piston... Looks pretty good considering how that valve was...
B20z2 FTW!
How She Currently Sits...

Yea last night was nothing but a ton of rain. Those pics were from yesterday, though. We had sun/clouds, temps in the mid 40's. Perfect "spring" day to work on it.
I'm waiting for the gaskets to arrive (sometime this week...) and I can start putting it all back together. SHOULD have plates on it by the weekend (ASSuming the gaskets show up before then...)

New water pump is installed, and the bottom end is all back together. Waiting for the gaskets, which will be here Saturday some time (according to FedEx). Then, it all goes back together. More pics to come!
Just got everything all back together for the MOST part. All that's left is the dizzy, valve adjustment, valve cover and intake box (the one that goes above the intake manifold).
Quick back story... I got the gasket set, went to bolt the head down, and snapped a head bolt because the torque wrench I had s*** itself. So, I ordered all new head bolts, and borrowed a torque wrench from a tech at work, and bolted the head all down properly. The rest was cake from there. It was just a matter of getting time after work to work on it, and dealing with the snow/rain...
Oh, and SORRY for the SHITTY ass iPod picture. It's all I had on me when taken. I'll get more pics tomorrow when I can get my DSLR out.

mad set up you have. How do you like the seat?
So a small update... After replacing the radiator with one that wasn't cracked...I blew a head gasket. I'm leaking oil from both sides of the motor between the head and block at the #1 cylinder. Once I pressurized the coolant system, is when the gasket blew... So, I need to order a head gasket set, find a torque wrench, and tear it all down again....
I painted ALL the black trim on the car, back to black. It was a nasty faded-black, almost a grey. I masked the car off, and plasti-dipped it all black. The car looks literally brand new again.
Once I get off my lazy ass and 1)wash the car, and 2)get my camera out, I'll get you guys some quality pictures.

Yea...so...no new pictures. lol. Havent done s*** to the car really...changed the head gasket AGAIN because my torque wrench broke when bolting it down resulting in a squashed gasket... New gasket on, running like a champ.
Oh...I installed a Yonaka catback exhaust (only company that really makes an exhaust for the CR-V...). The exhaust sounds AWESOME! Nice, deep and throaty. No raspy 'bees in a can' bulls***.
I can't decide if I want to get a new steering wheel, or just save up for a drop and a decent set of wheels...
IDK....
