This is the first video of I’ve seen of yours and you got a new subscriber. I appreciate the realness, honesty , and showing the actual struggles of what can be cars.
@zzoinks not in car logic. 800 In 2018 with a slightly slipping tranny on a civic that could still run a year before needing to fix is a $2000 civic in 2024 that doesn't even run. Atleast in CA it is..
Instead of getting a whole engine I'd just get a different head at the junkyard. Needs a head gasket regardless. It's a lot faster and cheaper than swapping the motor
When you over heat a civic specialty these engines most likely the block is warped also & needs to be shaved down also so yea I think it's better to get a diff engine & later take the old engine & build it back properly because just replacing head gasket is half job
@moisestheentrepreneur637 I've seen plenty overheat to the point of failure and 9/10 it's just the head that gets warped. Real easy to check with a straight edge too before putting another head on
I had a 4g64 out of a eclipse that over heated and melted 2 pistons and one even had a hole in it. the engine sounds the same. No compression. And I'm sure u can smell the oil and the parts that all burned up. It was nuts.
I had purchased a 1987 Honda civic EX for my son and the motor had been overheated. I opened the motor and replaced the piston and rings/ connecting rod bearings/honed the cylinder walls/new valve stem oil seals/new head gasket/replaced the clutch and pressure plate/nylon stick shift bushings. Easy engine to repair and parts were cheap. Ran like a new engine with no oil or antifreeze consumption. They built these cars to last.
Oh sick, you got a same color Civic as I once had! Good luck with the project, man. Color, as Google says, is "Dark Amethyst Pearl" lol. I used to confuse it with Midnight Purple at times. Edit: good lord, overheating on an LX. Mine was an LXi and I too, kinda left it at "either new head gasket or a full swap" or at least my Uncle (it was his car way back) said so. Again, best of luck to your project!
I brought the same exact color car for 800 😂 ran like ass had to fix the idle was in limp mode would over heat was a donor car took the y8 engine out put it in my DX after fixing all the issues
A few months ago i was needing a new daily and got one of those 99-00 sedans in the same purple. Bro, one of the best buys i have ever made. Almost as good as my first civic. And yeah the purple is funky and i dig it since day one.
9:09 I’m having the same issue where my car only starts/cranks with me having to jump the battery I checked all the main stuff like battery,starter,alternator,fuses,grounds when I try to start it only cluster lights turn on but not cranking over any idea what it can be ? My only guess left are main/ignition relay
Where I live that's still good value for Civic. The body, paint and interior are still in good condition and most people around here would still ask 2K plus for it. Everybody wants to swap a B series engine into these anyway so they figure they can get that much money and apparently in some cases they can. If you want to flip it fast just buy a good head for it as somebody else suggested. Or depending on what kind of warpage there is on the head you could get it milled.
I've heard of cars overheating, but being so hot as to melt wires is a whole different level. A swap and replace is probably more time efficient, if the old engine is salvageable then meh, you can get $150 bucks back... 😎
You couldn't get the cover off because the spark plug wire is still in the hole....and it is stuck....so valve cover won't come off till you get the spark plug wire out......also.....stuck spark plug wires are a sign of being OVERHEATED.....
I had that same issues with the spark plug wire melting n stuck in was a bitch to pull it out n cleaning don’t know how that happen first time for me too but call run fine
I would do a compression test and if it passed ide drop the motor and do all the repairs and keep it single cam. If the engine is to bad find a y7, y8 or z6 and swap it out. I purchased a eg sedan with blown head gasket for 200 and swapped my jdm gsr in from my dc2
It’s been years for me grew up in the 80s and most of these cars I’ve owned many many many of them in all variants this one reminds me of the single jingle with Jackson racing SC I had ac heat no rust being I’m in ny man I miss that car but recently just traded my Camaro for a del sol with a turbo
Pull the head send it to the shop and see how bad it is but a full engine build series would be cool can you put a VTEC head on it ???? If it's going to be a non-vtec put some kinda small turbo or nitrous kit (75-150 shot) leave the ring gap on the bigger side just in case of power adder
@HunterTuned what turbo would you recommend for me i have a b20 swapped crx stock bottom end im only looking for about 300-400hp to the wheels i have a holset hy35 but i hav a feeling that might be too big for what im looking to make. any suggestions?
Yesterday I was driving around and this morning I noticed my reservoir was missing I guess it popped out and must have dragged and fell off (I am low). Amen and tomorrow come my new reservoir
It just makes me sick how people can mistreat a car. Regular maintenance. .checking oil level...your fluids and regular oil changes...how damn hard is that
I have had aot of Civic hatches, but never a sedan. Do you like them, or is it just what is turning up on FB as a good deal? Keep up the good work, love the videos
My brothers car had the same problem with the spark plug wires did it in 2 days without taking the valve cover off and I was talking my time it was a mission 😂
I have a 97 civic does the tachometer wire run to the driver side shock tower plug? does anyone know trying to fix my RPM gauge doesn’t work. I might boost my stock y8
@ thanks for some reason the last owner of the car put a 8 pin connector at the dizzy instead of the 10 pin for the year 97 like stock and completely removed the blue wire from the engine harness I guess the last owner thought you can’t use a y7 dizzy on a y8 motor
I FINALLY BOUGHT YOUR INJECTORS BOI! I’ll be making a video on all the new parts incoming but I’m a few steps closer to having this K24 swapped 500 HP turbo RSX DONE!!!
@ at the end of the day they are eBay injectors however he does go the extra step to flow test each and every one and try to match them up as close as possible.
First time watching your videos. If you ever wanna sell a civic (especially this one), I'd love a chance at it. I've been looking for one for a while. Subscribed.
bro 800 itys not bad now the car would cost 1500 if you fix the smoke issues wild cost 3k great video also got teggy onn last week i drop some videos on yt
I rock with u because u love Jesus. Good luck with the Honda it's still a good looking civic and you didn't do bad for 800 even if u engine swap or change it.
I’d probably use a different engine. Do you know how hot it has to be to melt those plug wires 🤣🤣🤣? I’m surprised it sounds as good as it does but hey it’s a d series can’t kill em
Love the color. Ill give ya your $ back plus $50 bux if you deliver to tx 😂😂😂 finding any ek manual n our area for any reasonable price is none existant anymore. Cant even find parts to manual swap one without hr+ drive.
Nothing says overheated engine like seized spark plug wires
Nah fr
10:34 I broke the connector part of the wire trying to pull them out of a Honda Civic once. It was crazy.
Damn I never really thought of that..
This is the first video of I’ve seen of yours and you got a new subscriber. I appreciate the realness, honesty , and showing the actual struggles of what can be cars.
800 these days is not what is used to be
800 bucks in 2010 is 1,157.48 today
Lmfao what are you people on about though? I used to pick up beaters for 300 to 500. It's the same concept. You're buying a pos.

Put your seat belt on.”ding ding” 🤣😂
Thank you! Annoying as well as a safety issue
His own safety is his own issue. No one elses.@@nickadkins7765

I agree
Just give it an old school block sanding make sure she's flat and she will run good
When you over heat a civic specialty these engines most likely the block is warped also & needs to be shaved down also so yea I think it's better to get a diff engine & later take the old engine & build it back properly because just replacing head gasket is half job
@moisestheentrepreneur637 I've seen plenty overheat to the point of failure and 9/10 it's just the head that gets warped. Real easy to check with a straight edge too before putting another head on
Full engine build series with a teardown of this roasted y7 would be some awesome content to follow along with. subbed

That color is rare and sick in my opinion, perfect ride height
The car finally thanks the lord to be in your hands

I think it would honestly be a fun thing to see Rod’s Pistons on a built non-VTEC D series
I don't know, but that's the worst spark plugs issue I ever seen.. that's probably why it's so clean..
Must be the original ones lol
You have got to stay positive through life men even when things don't go as you would hope. Keep the videos going. God bless ☦🙏

Blown head gasket maybe a bent valve…common issue when plug wires melt onto the plugs…
Take a plumbers torch and carefully heat the ends of the plugs, a little heat goes a long way
Grabbing that other Y7 and doing a little build series sounds good Hunter. Also dig how you incorporate such a relevant scripture in your video. 💯
9:09 I’m having the same issue where my car only starts/cranks with me having to jump the battery I checked all the main stuff like battery,starter,alternator,fuses,grounds when I try to start it only cluster lights turn on but not cranking over any idea what it can be ?

Battery cell died. Need brand new battery. Been through the same a couple times on several civics.
@@chayneyshuck5503 alright thanks I’ll try that later on today

I want to see the food is how you take out the spark plug the trick

This happened to my dads and had to replace the waterpump to because it overheated that bad
Clean shell. Good buy regardless of what is wrong.
saw this on Instagram and got excited 😃
Was just randomly suggested your channel. Subscribed and can't wait to see what comes next! 😊

dude your attitude is awesome. subbed!
Try to spray some WD-40 in the valve cover should loosen up. It’s probably been stuck on there for a long time.

I want to see you do a y7 non vtec build. Very curious what can be made on that.
It just makes me sick how people can mistreat a car. Regular maintenance.
.checking oil level...your fluids and regular oil changes...how damn hard is that
Are the wheels Rota looks like you got a solid deal even with the work it needs
Yo keep it and do some headgasket sealer and see how long it last lol

@@twin2civicgaraget2cg75 I much prefer hatches I just get what I can when the price is right
Nice little civic for some simple nostalgic content bud

Let us know how that goes. Most people say his injectors are trash but then a lot of people say they’re good. I’m really curious.
@ at the end of the day they are eBay injectors however he does go the extra step to flow test each and every one and try to match them up as close as possible.
Just change the head gasket that's a lot easier I would imagine, just mil the head and check the block

Bought one like that too yesterday
Y7 r J unk. I didnt think any of them motors were left! Atleast not on the east coast.
Fav color, is the code still on the door frame? and Hi from Nicaragua!
I was on my way to buy this and my tow dolly started leaking out of the valve stem and it was gone the next day
New subscribers keep building the Barney civic 🤙🏼
Yo Hunter! What's the paint code on this car? It should be in the drivers door jamb
id really appreciate it man!
@@northwoodsrippers9639 I can check tmmrw!
If you can get the cheap swap, you might as well go that route. Once you throw it in, you probably be all in for $1500 and sell it for $3K.
Bruh when you pulled that fat zaddy ground wire out and called it an anaconda I literally laughed at out😂
Pour in leak/stop fix, no better time to try it out.
No on the stop leak
Thats not a good idea, wouldnt recommend that!
@@30kendel I guess that's because it could damage the radiator or heater core? Seems like the engine is probably warped
Do a high compression build
Just as i was gonna quit watching... You read a great bible verse. 🙏 God bless you
Big difference between THAN and then!!!
I was considering buying it but it was too far from me (MN) lol
I rock with u because u love Jesus. Good luck with the Honda it's still a good looking civic and you didn't do bad for 800 even if u engine swap or change it.
They didn't lubricate the wires that's why it was stuck
Keep the verses coming 👍🏼
that timing belt is about to snap too because its square now
They like that in Jamaica just that kind of honda civic the cover hard.to come too trust me
Never seen this ever. Nuts 😮
😂😂😂😂 subbed right after that Bible verse had me CTFU!… beautiful plum color on the EK jus obviously sum bad ownership 😬😵💫
I’d have pulled the head after seeing those plug wires. It’s for sure warped
Keep it stock and sell it for a few grand. It’ll help someone on a budget!
I worked on this car. The spark plug wires wouldn’t click in so we used gorilla glue.
I like to found something like that in TN for that price
Hunter aren't we getting rid of cars 😂😂😂😂 and we are hear with you on this journey 😅
I actually sold 2 this week prior to buying this one 😂😂
Please do not v tech single cam I want to see a build on that with a big cam set up
I need a deal on a civic for my awd swap
Swap the engine would be good content brother
Nitrous single cam build please
Man I love that color!
Damn wirewheeled the paint off the shock tower lol
I’d probably use a different engine. Do you know how hot it has to be to melt those plug wires 🤣🤣🤣? I’m surprised it sounds as good as it does but hey it’s a d series can’t kill em
Your son is so cute.. miss my kids being that little..
Head gasket new radiator full coolant flush oil change and thermostat
And buy new hoses don’t do half ass work
Not too bad of a fix by the looks of it.
Mans got that sam squantch winter coat of hair coming in 😂
Also *Than in your title
Love the color. Ill give ya your $ back plus $50 bux if you deliver to tx 😂😂😂 finding any ek manual n our area for any reasonable price is none existant anymore. Cant even find parts to manual swap one without hr+ drive.
I thought Honda Head Gaskets were the easiest to do.
I want that purple sedan lol
Me too ❤
Those honda will lick the headgasket and still run for long time
Probably would have poured solvent down the spark plug holes to try and loosen it EDIT: nvm u did lol
SWAP OUT, LITTLE BUILT WITH IT
I think you should swap the motor. And try to sell for 25. The three grand. And start working on some other stuff.
That engine got very very hot at one time or another.
Another great video
i got my accord 99 for 500 cad give it the love it needs xD
Sons looking at you like I think you made a mistake buying this car😅
