i really want to do a manual conversion. It bothers me that its an auto. I think that is going to be one of those in the future plans...

Didnt do to much today. Just degreased and cleaned one whole side of the engine. Thought it would be easy but it was in a tough layer of what seemed to be black tar.

Pics of the before:

Heres the after:

And heres all the dirty paper towels, gloves, and wire brushes:

its so weird to me that thats the front of the motor there was one of these in the all motor section on honda tech awhile ago or i think it was a 2nd gen but it had a 210whp b series swap in it. good luck with the restoration its pretty cool

I had bought a 83 civic a few years back. Started taking it apart then junked it. Just didn't have time back then. Wish I had kept it. Would have been so much fun.

Its a little foggy, but that looks like flux core solder to me.
