Tuners, by their very nature, are flakes.

That's nice right there...damn dood! :o

Re: noisy z6 wtf?
 

well, antifreeze boils at a higher temp than water, so a 50/50 mix should also

Re: noisy z6 wtf?
 

wrong, water has a higher boiling temp than antifreeze. believe it or not.

Re: noisy z6 wtf?
 

umm...doesnt water boil at 212 degrees? and i know antifreeze boils at a much higher temp, is that solely because it is used under pressure or is it also due to chemical makeup (which im pretty sure of)

Re: noisy z6 wtf?
 

oh ----, you are right, water has a lower boiling point, but can transfer heat alot better than the antifreeze mixture, therefore keeps the engine at a more steady temperature. SO i still have no clue which is better straight distilled water, mix, or what.

That's some serious crank flex. Those are what a certain sleeved-but-not-align-bored H22's bearings looked like about the third crank in, when we pulled the girdle/caps to check them after 75 miles.

Re: noisy z6 wtf?
 

so back to my topic, how do I get all this bearing debris out of the motor? should I spray a can of brake cleaner down the oil port for the vtec solenoid and filter hole witht the pan off? the turbo feed line is also unfiltered right? how much ---- is fucked up with metal shavings? what all should I clean? the sump is obviously gonna be packed full of debris, and no one has answered what oil I should be running. I think my problem is I used gay gasket maker ---- on the oil pan and it heated up and chipped off and clogged the sump...damn Im a dumbass...ill spend the extra money on hondabond from now on.
