Good video on replacing piston springs

Found this on You Tube. Another spring project!

That's good. I was thinking "what the hell?" for a couple of minutes until I realized it was an April fool's video.

Excellent! I'm about to replace the head gasket (again) so I'll make sure to include his tips and parts!



Cheers,

Very well done. Fool alert: I fell for it for about a day - the owners service manual is what really got me. As the previous owner of two Del Sol's, I couldn't believe Honda would do something that bizarre. Mainly I just wanted to see if he had any tricks for pulling the head - he made it look super easy (a lot easier than pulling the head on my Spider.)

The maker of this video deserves a lot of credit for all the detail (boxes for the springs, service manual, CPU readout). I really wonder what possessed him...

How about $20k a month from YouTube!

Many years ago a friend was rebuilding the engine in a Triumph Bonneville that belonged to a girl we knew. He sent her to the dealership with a parts order. When she returned she said she got everything but 2 items. The piston return springs and the hardened rubber drive chain were back ordered and would be a couple of weeks.
