ah, how much would one of those run at autozone, can you rent one? or does anyone have one i could borrow

I think mine was about $15, but dont know if it will work for honda heads.

If you were just taking off the valve I would say a socket and a hammer.

There are specialized compressors to make the R&R much easier. You can get it apart with a deep well and a hammer and a rag in the combustion chamber. Looks to be on the rich side to me. What all is done to the car? What ECU?

i'll probably just take it to dale, im worried about getting it back together, i dont suppose it would be advisable to reuse the head gasket, plus with all the hoses and stuff i pulled off its going to be difficult to remember where they all went

type r basemap... i was pretty sure before that it should be running rich with that

I would not reuse the HG.
