    Hello. I'm almost finished with my engine rebuild. Unfortunately, the coolant lines connecting the main coolant passage to the oil cooler were a pain in the ass to get on.

    Hi all, I've been lurking on this forum ever since I found the Prelude I bought, even before I bought it! There's a wealth of knowledge here and I've found everything I needed to know just by searching. However, on the way home from the store this afternoon, my little B20A cracked a coolant...

    So there's not a lot of info on coolant hose kits around here, and non that is even close to being current to the year of 2014. Undoubtably it's because there's not a lot (if any) coolant hose kits for our cars. So that said, does anyone know where to get a complete coolant hose kit for our...

    My H22A has the sensor on the front water neck. I have noticed that the 5th gens don't have this sensor. I do not want this sensor like the 5th gens, so what exactly is different? Is that sensor located somewhere else on the 5th gens? What will I have to do exactly to get it to work? The motor...
