About to dive in head first.
 

So I received my ccts from truck(thanks), I have my pair removal plates(thanks super-d), Goin to try and build a carb synch tool( Kinda broke-cant buy one) and found a haynes manual at the library. Gettin ready to tear into it and show her some tlc. This will be my first go at playing mechanic. Besides changing oil and coolant and stuff like that. Wish me luck fellas! Oh, and maybe a tps adjustment.

good luck.

you can do it.
double check everything,and be sure not to rely on voodoo.

i'd ditch the haynes and use the honda service manual.

Theres tidbits of real data in haynes.
Nothing like a real service manual though.
The only real books come from the manufacturers
They are worth the $$ you have to spend fo sho.

Broke or not. for a few dollars you can buy a couple of wide mouth glass bottles, couple of rubber stoppers, some plastic tubing and build a carb sync gauge as accurate as anything you can find. If you're feeling flush you can load the bottles with a two buck quart of ATF instead of water.

Thanks for the link. I will have this on the laptop by my side for sure. Sarted reading the haynes and noticed they dont have anything about tdc comp. and all of the other things i have read on the forum about swapping the ccts. The haynes just says retract it with a screwdriver and pull it out of the motor.Not even close to the steps you guys have all written about.

synch tool?
 

RK1,
Any links or anything on a homemade build fo that? Or know where to look on the forum?

I haven't tried this for myself, but it looks like it should work...
