Lew, if your car got 111k on it, I would say you just check your timing chain tensioner. That means either measuring the length of the pin or counting the backlash stopper tooth, how much you can see. Timing chains from Honda (made by DAIDO) are know for lasting a long time. Timing chains do stretch over time-and a very aggresive driving (wich I presume you don't go for) can stretch it more. Otherwise IF your timing chain is stretched nuff, you'll be able to find an error code in the ecu, coming from the sensor plates of the intake cam.
FNLEW your welcome mate. My story of the timing chain is a bit different. When I bought my FN2TR in 2014, it was about to hit 85k by the 1st owner. So I got the car, doing some stuff here and there and asked myself 'Whats up with the timing chain anyway?'. Speaking of me personally, I replaced everything before hitting the 120k on the dashboard. I never got to know how he was hitting the paddle back then. Me having no issues, but I really don't wanted to get the 'crush' that purely wrecks the whole engine. Long story short, if you have the time, bees and honey and passion, do the replacement. The parts are not expensive -compared- to other car brands. To respect your view and opinion, you have to make the decision. Stay save!
@@FNLEW all in good time mate. When removing it, just when you think it's free there is a bugger of a bracket underneath. I think it would be really nice if you painted it red too. Good progress man.
Hi mate I’m about to do my Rocker cover refurb in white, what colour would u suggest doing the spark plug cover in? And the vtec cover in? Mine are in black at the min, but I have the neo chrome oil cap, and neo chrome washer covers
I think you've answered your own question then there buddy. Neochrome spark cover it is. Not sure on the engine cover as it's quite a large bit but I just kept mine off.
Looks well. Noticed at the end of your vid the type r rear badge, the red paint if flaking off it just as is mine, any chance you’d do a vid on replacing it, cheers.
Thank you. A lot of people tend to touch them up but I've never got round to it. I don't have a badge but I'll definitely film it if I ever replace it 👍🏻.
@@FNLEW oh yeah sorry mate....u won't beleve it when it's on! Looks and sounds insane...i just got anouther fn2 with less miles on it only 80k and it's got white wheels like yours...well happy
FNLEW the manifold cover with the Honda on are you gonna paint it as well ? To match and I see wat you mean getting it done before you & dad fit intake will look and sound awesome mate 👍🏻😎
Hi is this Bret with the Turbo Civic done by TDI North. I have messaged him on one of his RU-vid videos. Does he have a contact on FB ? I wanted to chat to him about his car. 👍👍
Good video also been a sub for awhile I just bought my dream car a 1998 Subaru Impreza. Got some mods on it I was wondering if you want to meet up maybe do a video on it
Thank you. That's awesome mate. I want to say yes but there's a lot of people waiting to do one aswell. I'm just rubbish at finding time to do them 😂. Definitely a possible though mate 👍🏻.
