stripped bolts during tear down, FUCK
 

i stripped a bolt on the dizzy, a nut on the oil pickup, and somewhere else but i forgot where.. anyone have any tips for gettin em out with a bare ------ minimum of tools? i got random sockets layin around the garage.. gettin a new set tomorrow.. any other reccomended buys for semi cheap while im at it?

btw what gaskets are needed to replace

i bought a water and oil pump, those came with gaskets.. so all i should need is a HG, intake, exhaust, oil pickup and ????

thanks for the input.. pics will be up in a seperate thread later with progress on my first honda build ;D

oil pickup doesn't have a gasket. there isnt much danger in the oil leaking into the oil.

the stripped nut is no biggie, spin the stud out and replace it. the dizzy bolt...if its the top one you can replace the cam cap. otherwise run 2 dizzy bolts no big deal.

wasnt sure if it did or not to help the oil stay in the pickup

its not the top, its the one near the front of the head.. im swapping the dizzy to another head so i kinda need to get it off

how can i can the stud out? vice grips?

Re: stripped bolts during tear down, FUCK
 

wait, did you strip the hole for the dizzy or round the head of the bolt?

vise grips own those problems.

rounded the head of the bolt as well as the nut on the pickup

Re: stripped bolts during tear down, FUCK
 

get some vise grips and get those fuckers clamped on tight, they'll come off.

sounds good :)

i also need to change the cam gear over.. is there any way to line it up properly so my timeing wont be off or is there a groove for it to fit in? i havent gotten quite that far yet, my head is still at the machine shop

Re: stripped bolts during tear down, FUCK
 

download or buy a manual and carefully follow the step by step for lining up cam and crank for installing the timing belt.

Re: stripped bolts during tear down, FUCK
 

well, the oil pickup has an oring that should be replaced. if it goes bad the pump will suck air instead of oil. also, the cam gear, as long as its going back on the same style head cam etc. it wont need lined up. set the timing marks if there is not belt on it, and put the gear on aligning it w/ the key *only 1 way it can go on*.

yeah, o-ring....but not a gasket. i shoulda said that.
